Why should I use SecuBox on my Windows Mobile 6.0 device?
Though Windows Mobile 6.0 provides a way to encrypt storage cards, there is one critical issue that makes inbuilt Windows Mobile encryption practically useless for securing sensitive information. The encryption keys for the Windows Mobile 6.0 encrypted storage cards are stored in the PDA internal flash. If the PDA is cold booted (hard reset), then the decryption keys are lost. This means that all confidential information that has been securely stored on the card will no longer be accessible.
SecuBox does not have this limitation. It allows to create multiple secure zones in the device memory or on the removable cards, protected with strong AES 256-bit encryption - without any risk of losing keys to confidential data. The Encryption Key Backup/Restore will allow you to get access to the encrypted storage cards even if the SD, microSD or Compact Flash memory cards get partially damaged. This will also be useful if SecuBox container file gets corrupted after Pocket PC hard reset or device malfunction.
Moreover, Encryption Key Backup allows administrators to implement secure data recovery procedures in case users forget their passwords - without exposing user's original password.
