Usage Ideas Palm = security token + encrypted disk Summary The functionality of your Palm handheld can be extended by turning it into an authentication key on which encryption passwords and user profiles are stored. You will be able to use your Palm to protect access to your computer and use it instead of typing the passwords. You will also enjoy the safety of having all your important documents on it - all protected by strong 256-bit AES encryption. You can easily do this by using a smart combination of Dekart and Softick software. It will take you only a few minutes to learn how to make your Palm an all-in-one solution - a handheld, a security token and an encrypted disk. We hope this guide will help you increase the value of your Palm - by making it a secure and efficient solution for protecting your private data. Why? By mounting your flash memory card (or internal memory) to your desktop PC, you can store your encrypted files on it. You will be able to decrypt your files on any computer to which your Palm can be connected. The major advantage is that your Palm is not only your Portable Digital Assistant, but also your own Portable Encrypted Storage Device or Portable Encrypted Disk. It is also your Personal Security Key. You will be able to log on to a Windows domain or your laptop by simply connecting your Palm to the computer. Additionally, you can use it to log on to a terminal server, Citrix servers or Lotus Notes, etc. Why is this approach a better one? The answers are simple: - Cost-effectiveness - you will not have to buy any additional hardware.
- A steep learning curve - you can keep using the PDA in a usual manner, without having to change your habits or adapt to new software.
- Privacy - you can be sure that your data is safe, because it is always in your pocket.
- 100% secure - due to the fact that every single bit of your files is encrypted with the strongest encryption algorithm available today, the data is not accessible even if you lose the flash memory card or your Palm is stolen.
With these facts in mind, it is clear why the common approach to the security of your data would not be appropriate for you: - A usual password is not safe. It can be easily detected by keyloggers and spyware; it can be brute-forced, or even guessed!
- You can write it down on a piece of paper, someone can read it.
- You can make errors when typing it, so it will take you more attempts to fill it in, hence someone has more chances to see the keys you're pressing.
- Usually people use the same password for all their accounts in order to not forget it. A single flaw, and all your privacy is vanished; while storing the passwords on the PDA will save you from all the trouble.
- It is a common practice to use a smart card for secure authentication. However, smart cards and biometric devices are quite expensive equipment. As you already own a handheld device, you can easily save a fortune by using it with the same efficiency as the smart card.
Most of the Palm owners get so attached to their devices that eventually the PDA becomes a part of them. In this case, this is probably the most private solution from all the private solutions you could possibly ask for! Q&A Softick Card Export II related Where can I get a list of supported devices?
The list can be found in the Softick Card Export II installation manual. How to disconnect the drive from the computer?
You should use the "disconnect removable device" feature by clicking the icon in the system tray. Afterwards, press 'disconnect' on your Palm. Is it wrong not to use 'safe hardware removal' even if Softick Card Export II tells me that there are no read/write operations currently in progress?
In Windows XP you can remove it right away, because this OS is optimizes the external devices for 'quick removal'. If this setting is changed, or you have a different OS, we suggest you use 'safe hardware removal'. Why doesn't it connect if I use the infra-red interface?
Softick Card Export II will only allow you to mount the card to the desktop if you use the cradle. How can I get it to work in Windows 98?
Use the supplied driver, it is located in Softick Card Export II distributive. But we encourage you to experiment with other applications, and contact us if you found something new, so that we could further extend this list. News [2007-11-27]
