How Do Encryption Devices Work?

The internet. What a wonderful, magical thing! Where you can surf the web for hours – watch cat videos until your eyes hurt, check out your mum’s latest holiday photos on Facebook, or scan Google for answers to important questions like ‘why is the sky blue?’ and ‘does Gordon Brown have a glass eye?’

A deluge of information is readily available at the click of a button, or the swipe of a screen. Buy, sell, enquire about holidays, books, cars, CDs and DVDs, insurance policies, train tickets – just about anything you want.

If you are making an online transaction, or sending sensitive information via the internet, it is likely that you will be including your name, email, physical addresses, phone numbers, bank details, as well as passwords and personal identification numbers.

In addition, the loss of theft of a laptop, or smartphone can increase the likelihood of this important information being exposed. It’s around this time you go to check your bank balance and realise that someone has transferred £3,000 of your money to a suspect company that has no contact number, website and no address.

If you have ever fallen victim to such crimes, or you are interested in finding out more about how to prevent your personal information being hacked, please read on!

And Cue Encryption…

There are many ways to keep your information secure online. One of the most popular methods is encryption – the process of encoding information so that only the person or computer you want to share it with can decode it with a key. An encrypted device is far more secure than an unencrypted one – they can also be far more reliable than even the most secure passwords.

Encrypting your local storage makes it almost impossible for anyone to access your data without your permission. They will require a key to actually mount the drive or retrieve any information from your device. In addition, if you wipe the drive and/or add new data, that will also become encrypted.

At Spy Equipment UK, we have designed and manufactured a range of encryption products for your mobile phone devices. Below, we take a look at a couple of our best-selling products.
