PDA Defense Professional about screen on a Palm handheld

PDA Defense Professional is the most comprehensive security solution for handhelds running the Pocket PC operating system and the Palm OS. It uses a multi-tiered system of security:

  • 128-bit Blowfish encryption protects any information stored on a device or on external memory cards. Unlike other solutions, PDA Defense encryption is not limited to dedicated volumes.
  • The "Bomb" feature bit-wipes all RAM databases without a user prompt when the maximum number of unlock attempts is exceeded.
  • A dedicated "safe folder" provides user-transparent encryption and decryption on Pocket PC.
  • Decryption-on-demand maximizes performance by decrypting databases only when they are needed.
  • Optional hardware button password entry dramatically speeds up password entry time.
