Keeping Your Information Private
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.
If you have a large number of contacts and calendar entries or an application
with a large number of records, encrypting the data can take a very long time.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.
