CHAPTER 23

Keeping Your Information Private

 

 

[ ! ] Before You Begin

To use encryption, you must first create a

password for your

handheld.

Encrypting your information

You can encrypt selected information whenever your handheld locks. This means that your information is scrambled so that it cannot be read. When you unlock your handheld and enter your password or Quick Unlock combination, the encrypted information is unscrambled.

The more information you select for encryption, the longer your handheld takes to scramble (and unscramble) the information. Also, applications that use large files, such as palmOne Media, take a long time to encrypt. In these cases, consider the trade-off between security and convenience.
