Latest release

Introduction
Safe is an application for Java enabled mobile phone for storing securely secrets into mobile phone's memory (or memory card plugged into the mobile phone)
Safe allows encrypting secrets and any kind of confidential information, such as passwords, credit card numbers, phone numbers, etc., in the mobile phone's memory by supplying a secure, encrypted notebook where the user can encrypt and stores all sensible information using a strong cryptographic algorithm such as AES256.
How it works
Safe encrypts secrets using the user PIN as the encryption key for AES256. The user can access to Safe only after typing the correct PIN (if the PIN typed is incorrect the decryption doesn't work). After that he can see all stored secrets or can add new secrets to the encrypted store.
For more information about usage see: Safe User Manual
Supported Phones
Safe can be installed on any Java enabled mobile phone compliant with J2ME - MIDP1.0 or MIDP2.0 platform. The list (not completed) of all compliant devices is reported here. If your mobile phone is not in this list please download and try Safe and write me to this address ugo.chirico@<removethis>ugosweb.com specifying the result of your test and the model of your mobile phone, so that I can update such a list.
Technical details
Safe uses AES256 for encrypting the secrets using the hash (SHA-1) of the PIN as encryption key.
