Chapter 15 Using Palm™ Web Browser
264
If you set the option to display web pages already in memory, you are on occasion
likely to see a web page with a banner that says something like, “This content is
X days old.” This banner informs you that instead of connecting to the Internet,
Palm Web Browser is displaying a page from memory. Of course, you can refresh
the page anytime. You can also have Palm Web Browser display a confirmation
dialog box so that you must manually accept every connection made to the
Internet.
Palm Web Browser is secure
Palm Web Browser uses advanced encryption technology from Certicom.
Encryption makes your data unreadable by anyone but the intended recipient.
This encryption technology is used to secure the transmission of sensitive
information, such as credit card numbers, e-mail messages, and passwords. Data
is protected both when sent from your handheld over the network and when
coming in from the Internet directly to your handheld. For more information about
Certicom’s encryption technology, visit the Certicom web site:
www.certicom.com.
When a wireless transaction is secured, the command button that initiates the
transaction is marked by the security icon, which looks like a key:
It’s not unusual to experience an additional delay of several seconds when a
transaction is being encrypted.
