Mobile Phone Self Encryption

Abstract

This Application is aimed to provide a platform for the end user to store data in encrypted form on an Android device and also provide backup of data. This project allows users to store sensitive data on their mobile phones without having to worry about its confidentiality even if the mobile phone is lost. This system is developed so that employees and other mobile users can store and operate on sensitive data on their mobile phones without having to worry of it being leaked. This software project concentrates on securing data on mobile phones by storing it in an encrypted form. This data is encrypted with a stream cipher whose key is stored on a trusted server. When the mobile device is lost, it sends a report to the server and the server then destroys the respective key so that the data on the mobile can never be decrypted and remains confidential.
