Mobile encryption refers to the encryption applied to mobile devices, such as smartphones and tablets. It is a way of scrambling the data into another form, known as ciphertext, so that only authorized people with the correct decryption key can read it. Mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets can be encrypted using mobile encryption software, aimed at securing end-to-end data transfers, and voice and email-based communications among various stakeholders. The rising adoption of Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) trend among enterprises has resulted in the increased susceptibility of loss or theft of critical business information. Mobile devices are among the common points of data leakage in organizations. This has led to an increased need to protect critical information within these mobile devices in accordance with the encryption guidelines. Mobile encryption software comprises solutions and services that strengthen an organization’s security portfolio with strong encryption capabilities. Mobile encryption applications include disk encryption, file/folder encryption, communication encryption, and cloud encryption. ___________ 1.
