Aiko Solutions update SecuBox for Pocket PC and Smartphone

[Guest Paul (MVP)]

Friends of MoDaCo and Plus Partners 'Aiko Solutions' have been in touch to let me know that they have just released a new version of their excellent 'SecuBox' application.

The application, for both Pocket PC and Smartphone, in their own words...

SecuBox is the Windows Mobile encryption software that protects confidential information stored on Windows Mobile PDAs and their removable cards. Since mobile devices are so easy to lose, you are at risk that your sensitive documents and files, or even customer data will become available to third parties. SecuBox creates a secure container for all confidential files, protected with unbreakable industry standard AES 256-bit encryption. Data written to this storage is automatically encrypted. In case you lose the PDA or its removable card you can be sure no one will be able to access your confidential information.

How much of a problem would it be if you lost your device? SecuBox is one way of having peace of mind, and that's exactly why I use it for my data.

New features include:

• Added possibility to automatically explore storages after mounting
  
• Context help is now supported
  
• Added soft keys
  
• Added possibility to unmount all mounted secure storage cards when the device goes into Sleep mode
  
• Added support for SH4 processors
  

  • Improved SIP behaviour
    
  • Fixed bug with impossibility to paste plaintext registration data in the About window
    
  • SecuBox file explorer now opens without delay
    
  • Fixed bug with device suspend during creation of large storage on removable card
    
  • Improved icons for VGA displays
    

  The application retails at $39.95 (free for MoDaCo Plus members of course!), full details and a free trial can be found at the Secubox page.
