Encryption makes your data unreadable by anyone but the intended
recipient. Encryption is done using elliptic curve cryptography, a
technology developed by Certicom and used in a wide variety of
consumer handheld devices and enterprise applications. For more
information about Certicom’s encryption technology, visit the
Certicom web site http://www.certicom.com.
It’s not unusual to experience a delay of a several seconds when a
wireless transaction is being encrypted.
In addition to the protection provided by the Palm.Net network,
individual web clipping applications may add another layer of
protection to their transactions. For example, a web clipping
application may require you to create and use a password to access
sensitive information (for example, your checking account).
See “Wireless preferences” in Chapter 8 for information about
preventing the transmission of your location and identification. See
“Security” in Chapter 3 for information about locking your handheld.
See “Making records private” in Chapter 4 for information about
hiding specific records.
The Palm.Net web site:
http://www.palm.net
The Palm.Net web site is an important source of information about the
wireless features of your handheld and about your use of the wireless
communication service. The following features are available on the
web site:
■ Coverage maps: Review detailed maps that show where Palm.Net
coverage is available. You can also look up a ZIP code to see if an
area is within coverage. Go here if you want to report an area
where the signal strength is too weak to perform wireless
transactions.
■ My Account: Check the current status of your account, in both
summary and detailed (day-by-day) form. Go here to change your
account information and password.
Note: Access to My Account is restricted to users who have an
account with the Palm.Net wireless communication
service. To access My Account, you must log in with the
username and password you created during activation.
■ iMessenger application support: Delete messages, designate a
forwarding address, and designate an address to which to send a
copy of all your outgoing messages.
