In a previous post (http://mobilitydojo.net/2008/09/16/windows-mobile-61-how-do-i-encrypt-my-device/) I explained some details regarding encryption of files on Windows Mobile, and I also presented a tool designed to aid in troubleshooting/testing device encryption. I added a few disclaimers regarding known issues with the utility called DojoCrypt though. I have now gotten around to actually do something about some of those shortcomings, and upgraded version number to 1.0 in the hope that it deserves the status
This new version includes a “Check File”-tab where you can test the encryption status of a file. (This is functionality previously found in CheckEncryption.exe which I haven’t really published here, only linked to over at the SCMDM forums. But I have fixed file browsing this time.) This feature is “stand-alone” in the sense that you don’t need to use DojoCrypt’s encryption to test the file. This might come in handy if you are applying include/exclude filters from SCMDM, (or other MDM solutions using the built-in encryption in Windows Mobile), and want to check that you’ve set it correctly. Including folders, and excluding subfolders requires you to be very sure you’ve typed it correctly.
Also the program will now list your current inclusions/exclusions at startup as that was sort of a showstopper previously. There’s also some minor code changes. (And hey, I even made a shortcut on your “Programs”-menu.)
And here’s the interactive part of this post; I am still only releasing a version for WM Professional. I can probably produce a version for WM Standard as well, but I don’t know if there is a demand for it. If nobody is using this utility I’m ok with that, but then it would not make sense to put another version high up on my to-do list. So it’s up to you. Let me know if you are interested in a version for Standard, and I’ll see what I can do
Here’s the download link:

This is a great stand alone tool for testing device encryption. Works great on 6.1 Pro, but unfortunately not on 6.1 Standard. Any plans for stand alone client for Standard?
So yes, I’m obviously interested in a Standard version.
The core functionality should be similar on Pro and Standard, but there’s obviously some differences in the UI.
I’ll see if I can get around to coding a version for Standard as well when time permits
*bump*
Any news on a version for WM6.1 Standard?
Well, I was looking at porting it to WM Standard. But I ran into another issue holding me back (on both Pro and Std). I wanted to include encryption of memory cards as well, but the provisioning I use isn’t working on removable media (a limitation of the file system). Haven’t quite figured out how to get past that.
Other than that there never really was a great demand for a Standard version (the Pro version gets a download every now and then but nothing spectacular in those numbers either).
If I don’t include encryption of memory cards a port could probably be done in a short amount of time.
