Based upon both market trends and device usage on campus, the ISO has opted to specify approved methods for encrypting Apple, Blackberry, and Android based handheld devices.

...

Apple iOS devices

Supported devices include the iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPad, and iPod Touch (3rd generation or later) only, running iOS 4.x.  Earlier versions of the hardware and operating system software do not support key security features, such as hardware encryption.

...

RIM BlackBerry OS devices

Google Android devices

Android does not have any native tools to encrypt either user data or the device.  Some third party applications on the Android store, such as TouchDown, can provide limited encryption functionality for Exchange data.  Other applications can offer encrypted storage containers.  This fragmented, piecemeal approach to data protection could be cumbersome for users and would be difficult to verify for audit and compliance purposes.  At this time, due to the fact that there is no native device encryption available and that the ISO is unfamiliar with third party offerings, there are no approved encryption methods for Android devices.  Departments wishing to support Android users should contact the ISO at security@utexas.edu to discuss their plans to protect university data that will be stored on or accessible with the devices.This content has moved.
