GNU Keyring Description

Keyring is a program lets you securely store digital secret keys on your Palm handheld computer. Keyring is a program lets you securely store digital secret keys on your Palm handheld computer. This information might include computer account passwords, credit card or banking numbers, GnuPG passphrases, or OPIE pads. (Previously "GNU Keyring for PalmOS".)Many people use Keyring for PalmOS because of next facilities: Computer account passwords Credit card numbers Confidential memos or diary entries GnuPG or PGP passphrases SKey one-time-pads Phone banking keywordsOther features include: Secure triple-DES encryption using a 112-bit key derived from the password Open Source Software: no back doors, no license fees English, Catalan, Danish, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Japanese, Norwegian (Bokml and nynorsk), Dutch, Polish, Portuguese, and Swedish localized versions Export records to the Memo Pad Generate random new passwordsIf it is possible for an attacker to get the encrypted database he can try a brute-force attack to find the correct password. Keyring for PalmOS provides 112 bits encryption, but that doesn't help if you have a weak master password. An attacker may try all passwords from a dictionary or short letter/digit combinations. With a 1.2 GHz PC he can check roughly 1.5 Million passwords per second. A good password uses at least 8 random letters, digits and punctuation characters. Keyring for PalmOS supports passwords of up to 40 characters. I use a 10 character random password including letters, digits, punctuation and accentuated characters.
