I would love to get PGP or GnuPG working on
a palmtop (I've got a PalmIII).
I keep fantasizing about using my palmtop as a sort
of a smart-card, plugging it into all the computers I use..
I also dream about using it to do secure email where ever
I am. I could keep my keys on the unit, and even do
the decryption on the unit. Key exchange/signing with
a Palm could be done at cocktail parties using the IR port
in seconds.
The palm needs some serious data protection.
I'd like to keep encrypted memos on it.
I have a feeling that the password protection
on powerup is a backdoor-party and a joke.
Its Just a dream... I wonder how feasible it is?
I know a lot of Free Software junkies (like me)
are also big Palm-heads.
