SecurID

A good means of protecting information on your Palm device is afforded
by RSA’s SecurID. This product is a piece of authentication software installed on your Palm computer and used “positively” to identify network
and system users prior to their gaining access to confidential
resources. This product works almost exactly as standard RSA SecurID
software authentication applications. SecurID is used in combination
with the RSA ACE/server network security software.
It is important to note that RSA SecurID for the Palm creates a random,
one-time use access code that changes every minute. This frequently
changing value makes it exceedingly difficult (if not impossible)
for a hacker to figure out how to guess this value and gain fraudulent
access into either your mobile Palm device or your wireless network.
The advantage of integrating RSA SecurID authentication into your
Palm gives you the power to have “crack-proof” security in one simple
method. It also eliminates the need for the user to carry a separate
hardware authenticator, which is normally necessary for other network
access requirements, including networks that cannot be accessed unless
you use a virtual private network tunnel from a public to a private network
where a hardware device is required to initiate the proper encryption
scheme.
