CHAPTER 23 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.
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.
