WinMagic® Inc. Releases SecureDoc™ Mobile Edition v1.2 for PDAs

SecureDoc Mobile Edition v1.2 on Windows Mobile 5.0 secures all Personally Identifiable Information on PDAs

Mississauga, Ontario, April 13th 2007 – WinMagic® Inc, an innovative leader in full-disk encryption, is pleased to announce the release of SecureDoc Mobile Edition v1.2 for PDAs as part of its comprehensive suite of products for protecting all data at rest. With PDAs now synchronized with the desktop/laptop they can provide access to exactly the same Personally Identifiable Information and sensitive data. SecureDoc Mobile Edition v1.2 leverages the same robust 256-bit AES encryption algorithm utilized in WinMagic’s enterprise edition to prevent unauthorized access to all sensitive data.

“By their very nature, PDAs are very portable and therefore susceptible to being lost of stolen,” said Thi Nguyen-Huu, CEO & President, WinMagic. “In this robust enterprise class mobile version, WinMagic further enhances its product suite to protect data on devices that are not capable of doing so out of the box.”

Some of the new and enhanced features include:

Strong Encryption
SecureDoc Mobile Edition encrypts data through virtual drive encryption utilizing the 256-bit AES encryption algorithm. This encryption algorithm offers users better performance than other algorithms with a greater amount of security.

Removable Media Encryption
SecureDoc Mobile Edition encrypts virtual disks on removable media such as compact flash cards, SD cards, multimedia cards, micro drives and other removable media. All files in the virtual disks residing on removable media are automatically encrypted so data cannot accidentally be exposed to unauthorized users.

Strong Password Protection
Strong password protection is used to protect all encrypted data. There are no symbols used which could leave scratches on the screen revealing your pin to an unauthorized user. In addition, versatile key labelling is provided so users can share encrypted files, and removable media.

Secure ActiveSync
Synchronization between other PCs is protected through a secure password protected by a SecureDoc Mobile key file which can be synchronized with any version of the Windows Operating system.

Account Lockout Protection
Accounts can be set up to automatically lock out after a password is entered incorrectly a set amount of times – protecting secure data from brute-force attacks and unauthorized access.

Feature Rich and Easy to Use GUI
SecureDoc Mobile Edition enables users to have the security of encryption without complicating the installation and configuration processes. SecureDoc installs in the background and encrypts PDAs and removable media transparently so that users are not even aware that the information is encrypted. The simple-to-use GUI makes installation and administration of SecureDoc Mobile Edition easy for any user.
