What is Mobile StrongBOX?


Mobile StrongBOX is designed to protect your entire phone's data. The application uses a strong public-key crypto-system that is optimized for mobile devices.

Mobile StrongBOX uses strong 256-bit AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) encryption for data and 1024-bit RSA encryption for keys. All cryptographic operations are performed using standard NOKIA libraries to ensure there are no security gaps or backdoors.

Any kind of information can be secured with Mobile StrongBOX. It does not only protect your data but also helps you if you have many things to memorize like passwords and credit card PINs. With Mobile StrongBOX you will not have to worry about these things any more!

Storing passwords, PINs, credit cards info, membership, login credentials etc. is now very easy and safe. SMS-es, MMS-es, files and folders can also be added to strongbox, keeping the hierarchical structure of folders(for example you can encrypt your private photos and videos so no one else can view them). Other developers offer some of these features in 2 or 3 different products, with Mobile StrongBOX you have them all in a single one, all data in a single secure place.

Key features: 256 AES + 1024 RSA, user-friendly interface, fully customizable templates(add/remove/rename/move fields), multiple files/folders import/export in one operation, no export needed to view the files(view them directly from strongbox), secure erasing of imported files ( if user wants to), copy/paste,arrange items however you like with move function, search function, auto-lock, multiple strongboxes, import data from CSV files, backup/restore, trash.

With Mobile StrongBOX you have your private information in your pocket anywhere, ON-THE-GO.

Mobile StrongBOX does not use license keys, so you pay once and use forever!!

v2.40 Symbian^3 (N8,E7) possible issue

On Symbian^3 devices it MIGHT be an issue (found on a proto device, so I'm not sure it reproduces on release devices. Maybe it doesn't, cause the app have successfully passed NOKIA QA with no single bug) with the browser : when opening too much folders, the browser window becomes too large in height and from some point (on my phone from height >2000 pixels) the browser's content is not displayed any more, you should open it again.

This issue is FIXED in version 2.41 which is pending NOKIA QA right now !!
S60 3rd and 5th phones are not affected by this!

Sincere apologies to those who might have been affected by this issue!  You must update the application.

  2. Hello THEODOSIS, thank you for your interest in Mobile StrongBOX. The update is still pending NOKIA QA, so it is not published right now. At the end of this week or the start of the next it is expected to be published. Then you will can update the app. try from the OVI client app on the phone. Please feel free to keep me informed!

  3. The app does not have an update function because the OVI has its own update mechanism implemented in the OVI client app.

  5. Dear Al,
    will the data be kept in the app after update (or should I have to type everything back?), when do you expect the latest version to be on OVI store for download

    Sorry to take your time
    Regards,
    Theodosis.

  6. Hi Theodosis,
    You will not loose your data after update(not even after uninstall) because the strongbox remains in the phone's memory(or memory card). After update you will be able to open the strongbox as usually.

    Thanks for your question and please keep me informed!

  7. I've forgot, the latest release version 2.41 is already on OVI store.

  8. Hi Al, I am at the Ovi store (in my N8) and there is (in my "Contents") the Mobile StrongBox indicated as downloaded/installed. There is no obvious way for updating to v2.41
    Frustration...What did you mean about the OVI client app? Should I finally uninstall and then download v2.41 (please guide me !!)

    Theodosis.

  9. If you don't find any 'update' function in OVI client app, then open 'SW Update' app on the phone, this app should serach for the update. You should not download it again!

  10. I have contacted OVI and they say v2.41 is not online yet, although in my publisher account it appears to be published! It is a matter of time (I hope not long) the latest version to be published!

  11. Dear Theodosis,
    Finaly, v2.41 is up in Ovi store. I'm sorry for this delay,it seems that the Ovi guys have a lot of work... Unfortunately the OVI client does not see the v2.41 like an update (this feature is not working in Ovi client,maybe they will fix it). So, here are the steps you must follow to get the v2.41 (no buy required/no data loss):

    1. - open Mobile StrongBOX, go to Settings and remember the location where your strongbox is located - you will need it to import the strongbox in v2.41.

    2. - uninstall Mobile StrongBOX: go to Settings (on your N8), open Application manager->Installed apps., find Mobile StrongBOX, open the context menu and hit Uninstall. Press 'OK' in the following screens.

    3 - now you can enter the Ovi store, go to 'My stuff' and download Mobile StrongBOX again.

    4 - open Mobile StronBOX, go to Settings and press 'Import strongbox' from the Options menu. Select the folder where is your strongbox located(root folder, see step 1), press OK and 'Save' from the Options menu. Now you have configured your strongbox!

    Thank you,
    ALin.

  12. For feedback Al,
    last time I downloaded what was supposed to be v2.41( was 2.4 finally)
    Since there was no update option I had to uninstall and install again (thinking that it was worth it since I was supposed to get the 2.41 - which was not the case)
    When I installed the app (v2.4 again) all my data was lost (contrary to what you mention abone on a comment).
    I tried to use the "Import Strongbox" option of your app from the right source. NOTHING HAPPENED, by no way was my data could be imported. Big mess, big trouble, had to manually write down everything again. So how can I believe that it is worth it this time?
    It seems that your app has "teething" problems. I will just uninstall it and forget about it (and the 6 Euros) if only problems and frustration come up..

    Thank you for the intimate effort for support though (and I would really appreciate any update)

    Regards,
    Theodosis.

  13. did you selected the root folder and then pressed 'Save' from Options menu? There is no way of not working this way because I have tried this many times.

    I am sorry for your disappoiment, but if you would try it again, I'm sure that you will succeed! (v2.41 is online)

  14. you did pay for Mobile StrongBOX, so you have all my support! why not to benefit from your paid money and try to handle this issue?

    ReplyDelete
  15. I am sure that you failed to import the strongbox because you did not pressed 'Save'. if you have read the help section, you have succeeded to import your strongbox.

  16. PRESSED SAVE AND EVERYTHING, i AM FAMILIAR WITH THIS KIND OF THINGS AS AN END USER... IT JUST DOES NOT WORK, SHOULD WAIT TO GET ADDITIONAL FEEDBACK FROM OTHERS TOO AS I SUPPOSE THE PROBLEM WILL GENERATE ITSELF ON OTHER DEVICES, TOO

    tHANKS.

  17. Hi Theodosis, the best feedback you will get from me :) cause I best know the app. Where was your strongbox located? did you get the message "No strongbox found at that location" after selected a location?

    ReplyDelete
  18. and did you get the message "Strongbox not initialized, initialize it now?" when you tried to open it?

    ReplyDelete
  19. Al. to be honest I downloaded and installed the v2.41 a couple of hours ago.
    THE VERY SAME FUNCTIONAL PROBLEMS CAME UP.
    I had to uninstall v2.4 in order to install v2.41. Although I can see my old data as a Strongbox file in the Mass storage memory (E) full of .cnt files, there is no way of importing the "old" strong box (I select it from the browser of your app, a message comes up after saving indicating "Setting saved",...THEN A BIG ZERO,Nowhere can I see it in the app.

    Sorry, this is the truth...certainly cannot rate it as a fine app, I shall have to find another product and on top of this spend another hour for typing down...

  20. OK Theodosis ... it is strange because I tried today this with 2 phones (N8 an N97) and it did work well. I have tested this 'import' function many times ... also NOKIA did!

    ReplyDelete
  21. I think that you have created another strongbox in the same location and this have overwritten some files...I'm curious if you will create another dummy strongbox in another location and try switch between them using import.

    Please send me this feedback,
    Thanks!

  22. What a professional you are. Why did you delete the Jan 25th comments where I said that your instructions on solving prolems of the app just do not work, are not even supported the way you claim.
    Just wipe off your mess under your carpet
    Sorry for your attitude.
    Fortunately your crap just costed 6 Euros.
    Theodosis.

  23. Theodosis, I removed the comments because you refused to answer my questiions and you are malicious. I've tried to help you and I'm sure that it's your fault because you created a new strongbox overwriting the old one! The app is not a crap !! Can you be serious ?? I would be a crap it would not ave passed NOKIA QA !!

    ReplyDelete
  24. I've tried import and is working...although it should give a worning to not create a new strongbox overwriting the prev one!

  25. Hello David, I will implement this warning in the next release!

    Thank you!
