Security

Q .

What security features are available on the iPAQ hx2000 series Pocket PC?

A . Security features including the unique biometric fingerprint reader on one model (hx2700 series) and HP ProtectTools secured by CREDANT Technologies security software on all models provide user authentication and data encryption capabilities. Also full VPN and WEP security is included in the Microsoft operating system. A VPN provides enhanced security when accessing your corporate information over the Internet.1,4 WEP provides encryption security for an authorized connection and data transfer when connected via Wi-Fi (802.11b). Advanced levels of security for wireless communication are available with award winning Odyssey Client from Funk Software (included on your Getting Started Disc) which provides comprehensive standards support including:

•802.1x – LEAP (Cisco), EAP-TTLS, EAP-TLS, EAP-PEAP, EAP-FAST (Cisco), EAP-SIM, and EAP-MD5.

•802.11i – WPA, WPA2

Q . What is the Biometric Fingerprint Reader?

A . Biometric Fingerprint Reader1 protects the information on your Pocket PC by allowing you to easily authenticate yourself to the device using your unique fingerprint, or a combination of a PIN and/or fingerprint (available on HP iPAQ hx2790 series Pocket PC).

Q . What happens if it does not recognize my fingerprint when logging on to the device?

A . In the event that your fingerprint isn’t recognized, you should attempt to swipe another enrolled finger, or choose to enter a PIN or Password if you elected these choices when setting up your security settings. If you are unable to authenticate yourself, you will be prompted to hard reset the device after a specified number of unsuccessful attempts.

Q . What features do HP ProtectTools secured by CREDANT Technologies software provide?

A . With HP ProtectTools secured by Credant Technologies, mobile professionals and others can easily secure their devices by using a PIN or password to control access, imposing industry- standard encryption to protect stored data, and providing fail-safe actions that automatically occur if a device is lost or stolen7. By selecting either a PIN or password, a user is assured that only s/he gains access to the device. In the event a user forgets a PIN or password, access can be regained by entering an answer to a pre-selected question. A second layer of defense can be established with encryption, ensuring that sensitive information remains confidential. A user can encrypt email, contacts, calendar, notes, My Documents and other files that are then automatically protected whether stored on the device or an external storage card. In the event that a mobile device is lost or stolen, aggressive fail-safe actions can be automatically invoked to hard reset the device back to factory defaults after a pre- determined number of access attempts.7

Q . What is 802.1X and is it supported?

A . The hx2000 series supports the IEEE 802.1X standard for wireless encryption for customers whose networks support this feature. This security standard controls access to a wireless network by varying encryption keys using the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP). Pocket PC 2003 supports Transport Layer Security (TLS) and Microsoft’s Protected EAP (PEAP) implementation of 802.1X. Both implementations require an enroller to retrieve the appropriate certificates from a central certificate authority (CA) onto your Pocket PC. The enroller is included in the ROM for the hx2000 series.
