Switch to page-level database encryption.

The current default is to hide the body of the text but display the senders name until TextSecure is unlocked. It would be nice if there could be an option to allow users to also hide the senders name.

I agree. If you were to have your phone searched by someone like the police they would be able to at least see who you have been texting. This information should not become available until after you enter your password.

This isn't hidden because that data isn't actually encrypted. We'll eventually be moving to something like Zetetic's SQLCipher (http://sqlcipher.net/), which will allow us to encrypt those columns as well.

Any idea when this might happen moxie0? It's a pretty big usability flaw at the moment, though its good to understand this has more to do with the current android functionality rather than an oversight!

I would also really like to see this feature implimented. I kind of understand the reason the data is not currently encrypted, and therefore shown in plain text. However I dont see any reason to see anything at all if the passphrase is not cached, just block access to the conversation window. Then when you do get the SQLCipher stuff implimented, the program will just be that much better.
