  2. Introduction • In this work, we intend to present which are the available means of protection and security of personal mobile computer devices, especially  against theft and unauthorized use. • Aspects covered: • General security concepts • General measures of protection for personal devices • Applications for data protection • Mechanisms of anti-theft protection

  3. Personal mobile computer devices

  4. General Security Concepts • The Information Security ensures the preservation of certain properties of the information contained in the different ways in which this can be revealed. • There are basic principles that need to be secured for protection, such as: • Availability • Confidentiality • Integrity • Authenticity • The loss of any of these characteristics is a threat to information security.

  5. General measures of protection for personal devices • There are simple steps that are within reach for all users of personal devices in order to increasing safety: • Access control mechanisms such as passwords and firewalls; • Creating backup copies; • Software updates;

  6. Applications for data protection • Data Encryption The encryption of a message is thus to modify its character, by mathematical operations in order to place the characters in transit clear-cut, and the receiver apply for other mathematical operations can understand. SymmetricAlgorithms Asymmetric Algorithms

  7. Applications for data protection • Data encryption applications • TrueCrypt • Camouflage • Conceal • AxCrypt • Encryptonclick

  8. Mechanisms of anti-theft protection • The theft of a laptop computer is currently seeing a huge problem when we consider the amount of personal information located in one device • Security problems, are constantly present in the everyday of a user of information technologies. • One solution, to be taken into account, is to guard the safety of sensitive data and encrypt them, requiring a password or a "keyfile" to access such information

  9. Mechanisms of anti-theft protection • PhysicalMechanisms -Security cable for laptops with anti-theft lock with safety key - Anti-theft cable with combination and alarm

  10. Mechanisms of anti-theft protection • PhysicalMechanisms Safety device for usb flash drive Biometric Readers - authentication through fingerprint
