| Abstract. | Mobile devices are used everywhere, from making a call to store huge volume of information. But together with devices shrinking and rise of storage space on a single device we bring to mind the problem of trusting the stored information. Trusting the information and assuring its quality means knowing the security threats these devices face and measures that should be taken. Many questions rise from here like “What happens when a mobile device is used by several persons and especially employees?”, “Is that information reliable and original?”, “Who is responsible for a device and its security?”. We are going to see in this paper that information quality can be assured even on portable devices by using the adequate security measures. |
