CHAPTER 25 Keeping Your Information Private
Encrypting your information
You can encrypt selected information whenever your device locks. This means that your
information is scrambled so that it cannot be read. When you unlock your device and enter your
password or Quick Unlock combination, the encrypted information is unscrambled.
The more information you select for encryption, the longer your device 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.
