....into the underlying Palm OS hardware will greatly enhance the security of the device and may minimize enough risk to be a suitable platform for security based applications. It is possible that smartcards can serve as interim cryptographic coprocessors for portable devices [28] Additionally, [3] proposes a software based solution of using PDAs as cryptographic tokens. Currently, Palm OS devices are extremely vulnerable to Flash memory attacks and have no protection mechanisms as described in this section. This is quite possibly the case for other PDAs and portable devices, as well. 10 ....

....not have any means of direct communication with the users. They propose schemes to substitute secure input with 2 secure output and vice versa. However, their schemes are not very applicable for practical use since they require the user to perform some encryption in his head. Balfanz and Felten [9] observe that normal personal computers should not be trusted to perform cryptographic operations. They implement PKCS#11 [6] compatible library on PC that performs cryptographic operations on Palm PDA. As an added feature, they use the Palm to enter the PIN code and display the decrypted text so ....

....Many of these applications require the ability to communicate securely with a remote device over an authenticated channel. Example applications include: 1) a wireless purchase using a cell phone, 2) remote secure synchronization with a PDA, 3) using a handheld device as an authentication token [2], and (4) handheld electronic wallets [3] Many of these handheld applications require the ability to issue digital signatures on behalf of their users. Currently, the RSA cryptosystem is the most widely used cryptosystem for key exchange and digital signatures: SSL commonly uses RSA based key ....
