I'm using the Samsung Tab S2 (SM-T710 variant) and I've been testing out the SD card encryption feature.
When I've encrypted the SD (Transend 32GB) card, I get confirmation it's been encrypted. I see the progress bar etc as it encrypts the files on the card.
But, if I put the card in a card reader and connect it to my PC, all the files on the card are visible and editable.
If I put the card in my Note 4, it thinks the card is encrypted.
The tablet is rooted stock ROM 6.01 MM, with Xposed and other Mods installed.
But, even disabling them and rebooting doesn't help.
And I've re-flashed the "clean install" backup I created when I first installed Marshmallow n the tablet.
Does encryption only work in Android's own little world or should it be secure on all platforms?
If Android's encryption is useless, can anyone recommend any 3rd party software that works, either on Android or with Android/PC? (I've tried "Eds" in the past on a Fuse enabled custom ROM, with TrueCrypt/Veracrypt and it doesn't work for me).
Thank you
