Gryphn Secure Messaging is a replacement for native text messaging applications that provides secure encryption of text messages using Twilio for two-factor authentication and "Smart Predict" feature automatically encrypts conversations even if the user hasn't communicated in a while. The app was founded by three friends who met at a tech meetup, initially with a focus on motorcycles but later shifted to technology, and has gained attention from law enforcement agencies such as the SWAT team in Abbeville, South Carolina, which needed a secure way to communicate without compromising their data. Gryphn has been recognized as one of this year's most innovative startups for national security by the Defense Innovation Network and is working on additional features including controlling message availability and real-time biometric identification for mobile devices.
