visNotes-encrypted memos

cbarnett · 10-26-2004, 09:01 PM

SFR have released a utility for the PPC and Palm, visNotes.

This is an alternative memo/notes program that encrypts the note with 128bit encryption. The basic version is free.

Not a bad idea for those who may not already be using ewallet software to encrypt sensitive data on their devices.

Too bad the free version is not open-source. I am always hesitant to using security software that doesn't show its underlying code. I am still using the ancient tool strip for PalmOS for storing my passwords. It comes with sources and uses AES encryption:

Craig, do you know of any open-source encryption solutions for PocketPC?

I personally use CodewalletPro to encrypt all my passwords and other sensitive data on my ipaq, and am very happy with it.

I did a quick check, and came up with the following open source project for PPC (and other OS) cryptography:

Password Safe

It looks pretty stable, and has been out for a while (since 2001), so it might bear looking at.

Hello,

visNotes uses the free Twofish algorithm with 128 Bit for encryption.
(www.twofish.org)

visNotes uses the clicked spots in the picture to generate a key for the encryption algorithm.
