Memory Card Encryption ...

[Proto732]

ever since I lost the mini-sd card in my old 6700 on a restaurant floor I've always thought encrypting the memory card was a good idea. I keep alot of personal data on the card that I wouldn't want in someone elses hands.

Now that I moved to the Tilt I've turn that feature on and password locked the phone. Over the weekend I thought of a couple scenarios ... and now I am questioning the feature.

If for some reason I had to hard reset my Tilt, would it still be able to read the encrypted micro SD card?

Is the key between them software or something bound to hardware that wouldn't change in a reset?

If your Make a hard reset on your Kaiser your lost your key Encryption so you can't read you sd-card encrypted.

The key is stored somewhere in the phone. If you were to able to find it and replace it after a hardreset, it ought to be ok.

Anyway, for me, I would keep my stuff in my phone Notes encrypted (i.e. use my software - on signature), or just one of the freeware wallet.
