In this tutorial, we show you how to use the SSE Universal Application Encryption to better protect data and files on your Samsung Galaxy S6.
The Samsung Galaxy S6 is a smartphone that is sticking very strong market, as often happens with all of Samsung's flagships. If you are the lucky owner of one, either as standard or Edge sure you use it non-stop for all kinds of activities, from chats with friends to banking queries. This has meant that over time a huge amount of sensitive data is generated, and although Android and Samsung have their own defense mechanisms, it never hurts to put more difficulties to any possible intruder by encrypting files or applications. So today we showed this tutorial to protect the data on your Samsung Galaxy S6.- The first thing you need to do is download the application SSE Encryption Universal App from Google Play. This application is free and is highly valued by users, although there are other similar applications.
- Then you will open the application. A menu with four options, of which you are going to use the option File / Dir Encryptor. With this option, you not only can encrypt files of your Samsung Galaxy S6, but also entire folders. A file browser opens in which to look for file encryption.
- Once you've found the file, tap on it to select it. After selecting the file, you will see that activates the lower button Encrypt File, press it. It will open a window to enter a password, a utility that indicates the strength of the password to hack (It is important to write passwords that are not easy to crack). Once written and confirmed, tap on the OK button.
- Now you will see a copy of the encrypted file with the violet background and the lock symbol, which is the protected file displayed. But this is a copy, ie, the original is just above, and therefore you will have to delete it. You just need to do a long press on it and see that a popup window appears. You will tap on File Delete, and so the original is erased forever from your Samsung Galaxy S6 and will be impossible to access it.
- Now close the application and go to your Samsung Galaxy S6 file browser. You’ll find the folder containing the encrypted file. You will see that the icon of the file has changed, and instead of a miniature what is shown is the icon of the SSE Universal Encryption application. If you tap on it, you will be asked to introduce the password so that only those who know the password can access the file.
This is a very simple process to protect your valuable data stored on your Galaxy S6 or S6 Edge.
