Bug Description

When the phone is in a locked state swiping down you are able to get access to the notification tab,

from here you are able to read recent SMS messages -- which is all well and good if you want quick access to your text messages but you are also able to reply to the text message without unlocking the phone.

in summary;

You are able to read and send SMS messages without unlocking the phone.

--------UX comment---------

We've added in the latest specification for notifications the behaviour on the lock screen. Link to the spec: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1xDSZ_dnAMAlhgFnnyjJEibaITXjVLp1_pnj_tATNm9I/edit#heading=h.knlgrccv4svp

oh, also adding an ubuntu-ux component, unsure if that's by design or a bug

this is definitely by design, there has been discussion before which resulted in the privacy options for messages and launcher ...
