Imagine that you are sitting in a cafe full of people, looking for information about a medical condition online, accessing banking data, or reviewing any confidential information of your work, while your seat-mate could be spying on your movements, or a passerby might (not want to) discover something that really you does not want to anyone know.

Many people are forced to access to private information from public computers, or in public places, and are exposed to the prying eyes of others. Most of us do ignore these facts, however when it comes to really important information for us, began to worry about security.

Well, now there is a Chrome browser extension called Decodelia, which encrypts your web content in wavy lines and patterns, which is only readable using red glasses goggles, making it unreadable to any other who is not using these glasses.

Melanie Hoff, the student and artist who created Decodelia, found inspiration to develop the program on their own experience since she spent much time working in cafes and other places where the onlookers could easily take a look at her screen.

“There’s a lot of talk about privacy related tools and techniques that deal with our information that happens behind our screen, especially what we send to the internet. And there isn’t much interest on talk about the physicality of our screen – when we’re in public spaces people can see that”.

Decodelia is a simple and practical solution, essentially, everything it needs to run is a design similar to that used envelopes sent by banks and some red glasses that make this design visible. There are not a large number of Decodelia users – so far, only 20 people used it, in accordance with the Chrome Web Store. But it is getting good reviews, according to Hoff. Whatever the use given to you, definitely Decodelia, proposes a new form of privacy and security.
