Today’s smartphones and tablet devices are essentially handheld computers, capable of storing the same types of sensitive information as desktop and laptop systems. Small and powerful, yet very prone to loss and theft, today’s “smart” mobile devices can be effectively locked down with encryption technology.
All Apple iOS devices, including iPhones and iPads, come with built-in 256-bit AES encryption that’s strong enough to resist virtually all cracking attempts. (Although a Russian security firm recently claimed that it could defeat iOS encryption through a complex and time consuming process that most real world snoops aren’t likely to attempt emulating.) The iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4 also have built-in chips that supply extra hardware-based protection to deter data spies.
