Figure 118. Selecting applications to be encrypted
If the database is encrypted, the data cannot be read without the correct
password even if it has been copied from the PDA. There is no function
in the standard program preinstalled in the PDA that makes it possible
to get the information without entering the password.
6.4.3.3. Selecting an encryption algorithm
There is a variety of data encryption algorithms. They are reliable and consume a
certain amount of system resources. As a rule, the more reliable algorithm, the
more time it requires for encryption.
It is possible to select the encryption algorithm in the
Configuration
screen in
the

Algorithm
drop-down list. At present, the user has the choice
of two encryption algorithms:
•
XOR
– A faster encryption algorithm. It is intended for "domestic" use.
•
RC4
– A more reliable algorithm. Use it for more effective protection of
your data.
It is planned to include faster and more reliable encryption algorithms in the next
