Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for protecting text messages. A sending device inserts security information in a text message, and sends the text message to a receiving device. The receiving device detects an attempt by an end user to access the text message. When this occurs, the receiving device parses the text message to identify the security information inserted in the text message, and controls access to the text message by the end user based on the security information.
