Secure Your Palm with PGPwireless

Posted By: Ed Monday, November 6, 2000 11:05:38 AM

PGP Security has introduced PGPwireless for PalmOS, which is based on the PGP encryption technology. It provides 256 bit strength encryption, decryption, digital signatures and authentication capabilities to secure information stored and transmitted on PDAs. The product is designed to inter-operate with the user’s desktop to ensure data is secured at all points of entry. PGPwireless for PalmOS will be available in December for $79.

Any piece of sensitive data can be encrypted and decrypted in a matter of seconds. Additionally, with wireless Palms, users have the ability to "beam" their key between devices. Because PGP software compresses files, they are smaller than even the original file and do not take up additional memory. The product has been designed to work with the user’s desktop, incorporating syncing technology to transfer updated, encrypted files between devices.

disappointed with Palm IIIc and Palm Asia after sales servic

I.M. Anonymous @ 11/6/2000 11:51:17 AM #
I bought Palm IIIc with serial No. 19GB15K07WDE in Manila(Glorietta). After barely two months the palm showed defects with its battery life and charging. Palm asia replaced this with two consecutive replacements (reconditioned or new?). With the last replacement which was worse than the previous palm asia does not respond favorably with my complaints and queries. What happen with their after sales service to their customers. Is the palm IIIcl has this defects to all its palm model? Who can I turn to when the nearest techsupport is at Asia and is now not responding with my E mails. I really feel disappointed with Palm and bowed noy to patronize any of their future palm products. I salute the other brands offering the same products as proven by their good performances. My friends (Physicians all) uses Hand spring(Visor)

Resty

Yeah. What's up with that? There're posts like this from time to time. I always wonder if the problem is with the "user" or some little glitch in the software the Palminfocenter guys use. They remind me of Emily Litella on SNL, "What's this I hear about violins on television!"

I think it is a little of both. The comments page on our AvantGo channel needs a bit of an overhaul. Right now, it is easy to accidentally post a comment to the wrong article. Ryan is working on this. But there are also people who don't try very hard to put their comments in logical places.

I've been reluctant to entrust passwords, etc to other products on the Palm because I'm never sure their crypto will be any good (loud proclamations by some that they use WWII technoloqy doesn't exactly help :). It'll be nice to see something from PGP.
