Media Safe is a file security software available for Symbian OS (as used on several types of mobile phone). It is published and developed by Nova Epoc Systems and is at version 1.1 which was released September 16th, 2004. It is a shareware title which is free to use for 14 days, after which a US$15.00 shareware fee has to be paid.

What does Media Safe do in a nutshell?

Media Safe keeps files such as videos, photos, audio, notes etc. private and secure on your Symbian OS mobile telephone by encrypting them and making them password protected. One example of the usefulness of this is that should you happen to lose your phone, Media Safe will only allow someone with the password that you entered to gain access to your data.

Facts about Media Safe

Below are some of the key features of Media Safe: - The user interface is comfortable to use and is fully customisable to suit each individual's needs. - Media Safe uses a very strong data encryption algorithms called the BLOWFISH block cipher and SHA1 secure hashing algorithm. This is a 256-bit encryption method and is wildly regarded as being one of the fastest and most secure encryption algorithms. - Upon starting the software, the user is presented with a menu on the main screen offering four different 'stores'. These are images, notes, sounds and videos. The user has to select the appropriate store for the specific media that they wish to keep safe and encrypted. - On first running the software, you will be asked to enter a password. Upon starting the software after this, you will be asked to enter a password each time. Nova Epoc Systems recommend a password of a length of more than ten characters in length and these should be a combination of lower and upper case letters, numbers and other certain allowed characters. It is recommended that users should not use a dictionary word. - Not only does the software add an extra level of privacy to your files, it is also a very good way of keeping your files organised, especially when compared to some versions of Symbian OS which have a clunky, clumsy feel to them.
