This article will examine the security features standard with the Palm OSŪ version 3.x, their vulnerabilities, and some alternative security software which help remedy these vulnerabilities. The classic ideals of information security apply to a Palm device as well as to a network. The key to any good security strategy is defense in depth. A good perimeter (in this case a robust locking system at boot) and encryption of data on the Palm device protected by another strong password make up an adequate defense for most individuals. Devices running Palm OSŪ v4.0 do not share all of these vulnerabilities. To check the version of the Palm OSŪ you are running go to the System program group, push the menu button, choose info and choose version from the options on the bottom of the screen. Your Palm OSŪ version should be listed at the top of the display.
