The majority of Android phones currently available can be encrypted, but just a small percentage of them use it. By default, most phones don\u2019t have encryption enabled and most users don\u2019t take the time to adjust the default settings of their devices. Encryption isn\u2019t even a requirement for devices running versions of Android before Mashmallow (Android 6.0) and not even all those that run the latest update have to be encrypted. It is estimated that only a small percentage of Android devices are encrypted.<\/p>\n
Many people believe that it is enough to set a lock screen pattern, a pin or a password in order to encrypt their Android phone. However, the reality is that all it takes is a USB cable to access data from a locked phone that is not encrypted. With encryption, a phones data is protected even before the device boots up. If you are concerned about the privacy and security of your device, it is important to encrypt it. Encryption is particularly important if you have sensitive data on your phone. If your phone is encrypted, its data will remain protected and hackers, thieves and other parties won\u2019t be able to access it. In order to decrypt the phone, the master password is required and without it, even the authorities will struggle to access the contents of your device.<\/p>\n
Once you encrypt your device, you may notice that it doesn\u2019t work as efficiently as it used to. The impact on the device\u2019s performance will depend on the kind of phone that you have. New, advanced models that have a 64-bit ARM processor are less likely to be affected significantly, while older, low price models will probably take a high performance hit. This is something that should be considered before encrypting your Android phone.<\/p>\n
En general, cuando cifras un tel\u00e9fono nuevo que tiene un procesador Qualcomm (aunque sea un modelo m\u00e1s barato), no deber\u00eda haber un impacto importante en el rendimiento del dispositivo. Sin embargo, el rendimiento no es el \u00fanico aspecto que debes tener en cuenta a la hora de cifrar tu tel\u00e9fono Android. He aqu\u00ed algunos factores que determinan tu experiencia con la encriptaci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n
Aunque el cifrado es una medida que mejora la seguridad de los datos de tu dispositivo, no es infalible. Los tel\u00e9fonos Android son m\u00e1s propensos a verse afectados por ataques de arranque en fr\u00edo. Con este tipo de ataque, el tel\u00e9fono se coloca en un congelador y, a continuaci\u00f3n, se utiliza un software especial para extraer informaci\u00f3n de la memoria RAM. Un atacante muy h\u00e1bil podr\u00eda llegar a descifrar el tel\u00e9fono porque la clave de cifrado se guarda en su memoria RAM.<\/p>\n
In some cases, you may also need to set a password on your lockscreen and won\u2019t be able to use the PIN or a pattern to unlock. This wouldn\u2019t be the most practical option for daily use since you would need to type in an ASCII password to access the phone, which is not as easy as a quick swipe of the finger.<\/p>\n
Si tu tel\u00e9fono tiene una ranura para tarjetas SD, puedes cifrar la tarjeta SD pero no la memoria interna. Tambi\u00e9n puedes hacer las cosas al rev\u00e9s. Esto simplifica las cosas cuando necesitas acceder a datos no encriptados en una de ellas, mientras que los datos sensibles pueden guardarse en la otra, lo que reduce el impacto en el rendimiento.<\/p>\n
Puede tardar m\u00e1s en arrancar el dispositivo, en algunos casos incluso el doble del tiempo que se tarda en arrancar un tel\u00e9fono sin cifrado. En la mayor\u00eda de los casos, puedes esperar un tiempo de arranque de unos 5 minutos cuando se trata de un dispositivo cifrado.<\/p>\n
Once you encrypt an SD card, it is only possible to access it from the phone. You won\u2019t be able to remove it and plug it into your computer. The encryption key is only available on your phone so only there it is possible to access files on the encrypted SD card.<\/p>\n
With disk encryption, files are encrypted in your phone\u2019s memory and online traffic is not encrypted at all. This means that there is no protection against online surveillance, hackers or trackers. In order to keep your online traffic private and secure, a VPN is the best option.<\/p>\n
Por \u00faltimo, es importante tener en cuenta que la \u00fanica manera de deshacer el proceso de cifrado es haciendo un restablecimiento de f\u00e1brica. Esto borrar\u00e1 todos los archivos y aplicaciones de tu dispositivo. Aseg\u00farate de hacer una copia de seguridad de todos los datos si quieres volver a utilizar el tel\u00e9fono sin cifrado.<\/p>\n
Una vez que hayas tenido en cuenta todos los factores y hayas decidido seguir adelante con el cifrado, puedes seguir los siguientes pasos. Son adecuados para dispositivos con Android Marshmallow.<\/p>\n
Hay algunos tel\u00e9fonos Android que ofrecen a los usuarios la posibilidad de cifrar tarjetas SD. El proceso funciona de forma similar a la encriptaci\u00f3n del almacenamiento interno que hemos descrito anteriormente. Todo lo que necesitas hacer es ir a Configuraci\u00f3n, a continuaci\u00f3n, seleccione Seguridad y Cifrar tarjeta SD externa, Es posible seleccionar si desea cifrar archivos multimedia o no.<\/p>\n
Before deciding to encrypt your SD card or internal storage, keep in mind that it is easier to decrypt the SD card as it doesn\u2019t require a factory reset. This could be seen as a downside if you consider that this means that the decryption process will be easier for other parties too.<\/p>\n
Keep in mind that if you encrypt your SD card and then want to perform a factory reset on the device, you need to decrypt the SD card first. Once you do this, the encryption key will be deleted and so will everything else, which means that you won\u2019t be able to access any files encrypted on the SD card.<\/p>\n
Hay otra forma de proteger los datos almacenados en tu dispositivo. Puedes cifrar archivos espec\u00edficos mediante una aplicaci\u00f3n, lo que es una soluci\u00f3n pr\u00e1ctica si te preocupan sobre todo determinados datos. Puedes encriptar archivos y carpetas que contengan informaci\u00f3n sensible sin experimentar el golpe de rendimiento y las complicaciones que vienen con el cifrado de disco completo. Aplicaciones como Viivo, Boxcryptor, nCrypted Cloud y Sookasa son buenas opciones compatibles con Android. Permiten cifrar archivos individuales y ofrecen funciones pr\u00e1cticas para que pueda gestionar los datos cifrados con facilidad.<\/p>\n
Encrypting your devices adds an extra layer of protection and it is legal in the majority of countries. In Canada and the United States, authorities can only search unencrypted phones without a warrant, but not encrypted phones. People in the US can\u2019t be compelled to provide their passwords, although those in the UK can, under the Key Disclosure Law.<\/p>", "protected": false }, "excerpt": { "rendered": "
