I find myself storing a pile of vaugely sensitive information on my palm. Where do I find the competent analysis of this? Ideally, I'd like to be able to protect things that I move into a "sensitive" area (passwords), and maybe select items in other places that I want to encrypt. I don't really want to have to enter a password each time I look at my schedule and todo lists. Someone suggested YAPS (http://www.palmblvd.com/software/pc/Yaps-2000-11-7-palm-pc.html) are there others I should look at?

I prefer the Keyring for PalmOS (http://gnukeyring.sourceforge.net). Comes with source code, uses 3DES for encryption (the passphrase is MD5 hashed as far as i remember). Have a look at it. Cheers, Ralf -- Ralf-P. Weinmann <rpw@uni.de> PGP fingerprint: 2048/46C772078ACB58DEF6EBF8030CBF1724

I use Keyring (http://sourceforge.net/projects/gnukeyring/), though it seems to have moved on some since I last looked...
