GPU Encrypt: AES Encryption on Mobile Devices

Cell phones have evolved into a ubiquitous and essential method of communication across the world. Smartphones and mobile devices have significantly increased the productivity of users through accessibility to important services and have thus become critically integrated into both their work and personal lives [1]. A side effect of this integration is that phones contain a large volume of probative information linked to an individual. The scope of information sensitivity ranges anywhere from low severity (call history, contact information, and text message data) to more valuable information (e-mail, browser history, chat logs, and even passwords) [2]. The ever increasing number of phones available and in use by the public will continue to enhance the convenience of day-to-day life, but simultaneously brings along an increased potential for criminals to misuse this technology.
