  • Patent number: 8639941
    Abstract: Systems, methods for computer program products for securely storing data in a data store or in an external data store associated with a mobile device are described herein. Data that is being sent from an application module to a data store, on the mobile device or an external data store used by the mobile device is first encrypted by a security manager. The security manager encrypts data based on an encryption algorithm that may be selected by a user. Data received from an application module is thus stored in an encrypted form on a data store. When an application requests data from the data store, the security manager decrypts the data and provides the data to the application module in its decrypted form. All data that is transmitted to or received from a data store or an external data store is intercepted by the security manager for encryption and decryption respectively.
