Encryption and password security

SecuBox is a volume based encryption solution for Windows Mobile phones and handhelds. It protects confidential information by storing it in one or more secure areas. Data residing in SecuBox secure areas remains absolutely safe even if the device is lost or stolen.

When you create an encrypted volume, SecuBox prompts you to select the name and properties of the container file, as well as the password that would protect this file from access. Then it generates a random 256-bit key, encrypts it and appends this encryption key to the file. This encryption key is used to encrypt and decrypt your information while reading from and writing to the SecuBox encrypted card.

It is the password you type in when creating the encrypted volume that protects access to the encrypted SecuBox volume. The encryption key itself is built from this password using SHA 512-bit algorithm.

Password Strength Meter

SecuBox provides Password Strength Meter which assists you in selecting your password. Password Strength Meter checks the password for complexity and against dictionaries.

To decrease the chances of someone ever guessing your password, select a hard-to-guess, or strong password. A strong encryption password must be as long as possible (never shorter than 8 characters), include mixed-case letters, include digits and punctuation marks, not be based on any personal information, not be based on any dictionary word, in any language.

The Password Strength Meter will evaluate the quality of your password and will help you ensure your confidential information is properly protected.
