I'm moving very slowly towards moving from a Palm TX for my walkaround device to the N800. The N800 has much superior web browsing, a better screen, a darned good ebook reader, and thought I don't have it yet I hear there's a port of KeePass encrypted password database, which would be compatible with what I use elsewhere so I can just drop the file on the N800. I've got an adequate email solution, working. So if I find an address database and a calendar I can stand, I'll be good. Except that I don't dare take it out of the house. There doesn't seem to be any security. Anybody who found it could access my email, the passwords stored in the browser, the credit card information in the PIM database, and so forth. I found some kind of lock that takes a very short numeric password, but that's inadequate. And of course anything on either of the two memory cards can be read in any device you put the cards into, which means I really need encryption on them (or be sure nothing sensitive is stored there). Furthermore, startup is very slow, unless I just put it to sleep. And does waking up require re-authenticating? I'm assuming I just lose on encrypting the memory cards; I suspect the processor performance would make that a bad idea. I can probably live with that, with a little care on where things go. But I need some kind of authentication when I turn the device on or wake it up. How do people handle this? Or do people just wander around with their information ready to hand for the first person who snatches their toy? -- David Dyer-Bennet, dd-b@xxxxxxxx; http://dd-b.net/ Snapshots: http://dd-b.net/dd-b/SnapshotAlbum/data/ Photos: http://dd-b.net/photography/gallery/ Dragaera: http://dragaera.info _______________________________________________ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@xxxxxxxxx https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
