What is encryption?


Encryption is the conversion of data into a form, called a cipher text, that cannot be easily understood by unauthorized people.
Encryption is the process of transforming information using an algorithm (called cipher) to make it unreadable to anyone except those possessing special knowledge, usually referred to as a key.

Simple email

Hello bad guy,

I am giving you a valuable information regarding my company. With that information you can ruin my company.

We need tool so that we cay easily encrypt and decrypt our data
Many commercial and free version available
Built in technology in OS
T r u e C r y p t is free open-source disk encryption software for  Linux, Mac and Windows.


Features of Truecrypt


Creates a virtual encrypted disk within a file and mounts it as a real disk.
Encrypts an entire partition or storage device such as USB flash drive or hard drive.
Encryption is automatic, real-time (on-the-fly) and transparent

Main Features


Provides two levels of plausible deniability, in case an adversary forces you to reveal the password:
1) No TrueCrypt volume can be identified
2) Hidden volume (steganography)   and hidden operating system.

  • Standard Truecrypt volume
  • Hidden volume
Truecrypt can be found at http://www.truecrypt.org/
Truecrypt tutorial can be found athttp://www.truecrypt.org/docs/?s=tutorial http://www.truecrypt.org/docs/

Disadvantages of encryption


Extra processing
Slow access to data
Extra memory consumed
Data can be rendered useless if the key is lost
Forceful retrieve of key makes encryption useless

Increase Free Space On HTC Desire Android Phones

Its really frustrating seeing all those apps with 20MB+ size eating up valuable space on Android phones. Even with App2SD I had very very difficult time maintaining free space. Installing apps like Facebook, Google Plus, Google Reader would eat up all the space. Today I used link2sd to increase free space on my Android phone and now I've more than 1GB of free space for installing apps. I've been installed so so many apps now. link2sd can move your application apk, dex and lib files to second partition of your SD card and creates a symlink where necessary.
