Ask Slashdot: Does Free Encryption Software for the Pilot Exist? 15
Guido asks: "I'm looking for a freely
available PGP/GPG-compatible software
program for the Palm Pilot. I found several
shareware programs, most of which don't come
with source and/or don't reveal which
algorithms they use and/or don't have the
support base I want--all not appealing to me.
A port of SSLeay to the Palm Pilot, called
pilotSSLeay, exists. This means that all of
the cryptographic algorithms one might
need are already ported. I'm just
wondering if someone has used this to
make a PGP/GPG-compatible encryption
program for the Pilot?

The 2.0 version was freeware, 2.1 and later are shareware. Very useful for PINs and passwords, etc.
Ugh. Pilots (Score:1)
My Pilot has a pretty good uptime, and any resets I have had don't lose data, so they are pretty uneventful.
As for using ssh - there are keyboards available for the Pilot, e.g. GoType - you can just plug in the keyboard when ssh'ing, maybe from a hotel room, but carry just the Pilot the rest of the time. And it's nearer a full-size keyboard than (say) a Psion or CE box.
Each to their own...
This might be useful, perhaps. (Score:1)

dongle", running on a PDA, that would keep your
RSA secret key and perform operations using it
in response to requests over a serial link from
an attached computer. The idea would be to provide
a better level of protection for your secret key
than otherwise possible on a desktop machine to
which others might have physical access. The Pilot
seems like a good platform for this. Has anyone
else thought of this?

Email me if you want details. I didn't write it, but I was personally given it by the author while trolling around on IRC.

They all work fine on my palm unit now. PGP encryption and decryption works perfectly.
See you all on the other side...
