As PDAs are so easy to lose or to steal it is vitally important to encrypt sensitive data users carry on their Pocket PCs or Pocket PC phones. With SecuBox data is protected and transparently encrypted using industry class AES 256 bit encryption algorithm.

What is SecuBox

SecuBox is a data protection and encryption program that turns your PDA or Pocket PC phone into a highly secure device. It does not change the way you normally work with data on your device. You create an encrypted storage that looks like a normal storage card to you  - only that all information your write there is automatically encrypted. When you finish work with your sensitive Pocket documents, you unmount the encrypted storage card and all these files are completely inaccessible without a password. Even if you loose your device, you can be sure that no data will get into wrong hands - as it is protected with unbreakable AES 256 bit encryption.

Steps to secure your Pocket PC data:

   1. Download and install SecuBox for Pocket PC from http://www.aikosolutions.com/download/ (Select either Windows executable or direct device installation cab)

   2. install it on your Windows PDA or PDA phone

   3. Tap Create to Create your first virtual encrypted storage card on your PDA

   4. Enter password that will protect your data - this has to be a minimum 8 character password.

   5. Now you can work with the encrypted storage like with any other on your device, only that the data you write there is transparently encrypted

   6. Once you have written all files to this secure location, unmount the storage

   7. Now you can be sure no data will get into hands of your competitors or any other third parties - even if your device is lost or stolen
