How secure are messages across 4info?
Is it safe to send passwords etc?

This service could be really handy for my company if users could
authenticate.

Hi Justin,
It is not secure to send passwords and other authentication credentials
using the 4Info Open Platform. There are several steps in message
delivery involving the carriers and message aggregators that we do not
control, and cannot guarantee the security of. Furthermore, the
mechanism for querying the feeds and web services that we currently
provide is HTTP and we do not currently support HTTPS.
Thanks!
Garth
