But, frankly that part about, "secure storage in the cloud" - what are they smoking? If they're doing product for secure-freaks, they shouldn't use such "snake oil" terms, as it makes them look less professional in eyes of potential customers.

When your data is on some funny server you don't control, somewhere on the net, it is *never* secure. Anytime, gov. guys may demand access, and you will never know it. not to mention secret, but mandatory backdoors (germany and USA anonymizers, anyone?).

Well, not totally accurate - they can provide client (device) server (cloud) software that can use strong encryption - both of data transportation and storage - access to such data is irrelevant as it is assumed to be strongly encrypted.

Generally - this is probably a software solution and therefore can be implemented in N900 too - even without the server side software. encryption of data can be executed on the device itself, and using a regular cloud storage server.

There is a lot of buzz around "data protected devices/services" since the news about NSA came - as this subject cannot be understood by the majority of simple smartphone users, it is easy to sell solutions using magic words.

do we have data/drive encryption applications for the N900 with 512/1024 bit keys? i know truecrypt's best encryption (which I use) uses 256bit...
