Tales from Encrypt: SecureNow 2006 v1.00 Reviewed

Posted by Anjuan Simmons in "SOFTWARE" @ 09:00 AM



Product Category: Software
Manufacturer: Rural Network Solutions
Where to Buy: Handango (affiliate link)
Price: $19.99 USD
System Requirements: : Works on all Pocket PC platforms (requires Microsoft .NET Compact Framework version 2)

Pros:
  • Encryption and decryption is relatively fast and straightforward;
  • Free upgrades are offered by the company.
Cons:
  • Unprofessional registration approach;
  • Slow launch time due to full device scan;
  • Explorer view does not automatically refresh to show new files that are added to the device after launch;
  • Cannot encrypt folders;
  • After performing an encryption or decryption operation, the program navigates to back to the root of the device after a lengthy “remapping” which forces the user to drill back down to the location of the file.
Summary:
Users of mobile devices store more data than ever on their Pocket PCs. As external storage cards grow in capacity (with most formats offering at least 1 GB of storage space), these devices are used as portable hard drives housing business documents and sensitive customer information such as usernames, passwords, credit card numbers and social security information. This increase in storage capacity means that the information stored on Pocket PCs is far more valuable than the actual devices. Encrypting this valuable information is one way to protect it from theft and exploitation, and Rural Network Solutions offers 256-bit strong encryption in their SecureNow product.
