Beta release of Airscanner Mobile Encrypter 2.0 for Pocket PC

Posted on 17-Feb-2005 13:22 | Filed under: News


This new version includes a secure file wiper to shred or "bit wipe" the data stored on built in memory and external memory cards on a Windows Mobile Pocket PC handheld device. Users can select the number of passes to overwrite up to the DoD recommended 7 passes.

AiScanner have successfully tested the software with PDA forensic tools. Encryption strength has also been updated to 168-bit 3DES, and is now transparent to the user after logging in to the program. The software now offers the ability to create
encrypted volumes that auto-encrypt after a user-defined number of minutes. There is the option of granular encryption of individual files and folders.

This version is not backward-compatible with version 1.0. Users will need to decrypt all files, and then uninstall the old version before upgrading to this new version.
