    CryptoPad features:

    CryptoPad is a MemoPad replacement that uses the Blowfish encryption algorithm to allow for encryption of arbitrary length data with a password of up to 448 bits.

    • Supports find operation
    • Uses the built-in MemoPad database to store memos that are not encrypted
    • Uses its own database to store encrypted memos for protection.

      CryptoPad includes also specific functions :

      1. Global Password: Users have the ability to define a global password available for encryption and decryption of memos in a given session.
      2. Hide/Show lines: It is now possible to hide or show lines in the edit view at will.
      3. Find support: CryptoPad supports the find operation. Encrypted memos are searched for when the global password has been set in a given session.

      CryptoPad desktop

      A CryptoPad desktop is now available and allows you to read your crypted memo directly on PC !

      French, English, Spanish, Deutsch and Turkish versions available.

      If you are running PalmOS3.1 or above, take a look at CryptoPad v. 3.x with many others features.


      Updated Description:

      20-Oct-2000 3.23
      • Fixed a bug that did not display the last visible memo on the main form in a encrypted category.
      • Fixed a bug that did not scroll the first time when trying to scroll down of one line when in a new category (when you switch of category, you had to scroll down twice the first time to effectively scroll down of one line).

        Change the display update when entering and exiting a memo (cf v. 3.54 explanation in the Changelogs).

    BE AWARE!! If you write a memo in Outlook, and then did a sync to get it on my Palm. When it was on my Palm, I encrypted it in CryptoPad. On my next sync, this made it a Deleted Item in Outlook, though it stayed on my Palm. PEOPLE SHOULD BE MADE AWARE THAT THIS IS POSSIBLE!!

    Thanks for your attention,
    Gordon

    Integration empowers hot-sync-ing CryptoPad as Memo Pad notes, but only by duplicating your (unencrypted) entry in Memo Pad. If you sync only FROM the desktop through Memo Pad to CryptoPad you must have the sync operation set to override the handheld to do so. Since CryptoPad encryption removes entries from Memo Pad, CryptoPad will duplicate unlimited copies of Memo Pad entries on every hot-sync this way. You can then erase the (unencrypted) entries after each hot-sync in Memo Pad.

    Excellent - just like Memo Pad with crucial additions (encryption and a very useful facility to turn off the annoying horizontal lines).

    Can't be improved, in my opinion, and I store all my confidential details in it.

    Excellent program. I finally feel secure that my notes won't be read if I lose my Visor or if someone picks it up. Much better than the PalmOS built-in password security, which is easily broken. Blowfish is a reputable strong-encryption algorithm, and the fact that the author gives you the source code definitely gives me confidence.
    One thing I would like to see, however, is better documentation. Even the docs on their website are rudimentary.

    CryptoPad is the best MemoPad replacement ever made. It includes all the features of MemoPad (a 3.31 exits for OS3 users) and it is far better than MemoSafe of others programs (and free !!!). For example, MemoSafe uses only the MemoPad database so it is very easy to corrupt any crypted memo ; with CryptoPad, there is a separate database for the crypted memos to avoid any trouble. This version includes a global password feature so you just have to enter a password once in a session. Finally, CryptoPad respects totally the spirit of Palm built-in programs with one the best encryption algorithm (Blowfish). It comes also with a nice CryptoPad desktop for PC. In fact, I could not find any criticisms to this program !
