My Wonderful PalmPilot Applets

CryptoPad

CryptoPad v. 2.00 & 3.00

Ever thought about protecting your data, for free?

CryptoPad is an encryption/decryption enabled MemoPad replacement. It lets you assign a different password for each memo. CryptoPad tries to replicate the built-in application as closely as possible (the v. 2.00 for OS2 or above, the v. 3.00 for OS 3.0 or above). However, the 3.00 version does not support yet the beam function but I hope to implement it soon.

The 2.00 and 3.00 versions are a major improvement in CryptoPad history. CryptoPad use the MemoPad database to store, display, edit the non crypted memos and his own database for the crypted memos. The crypted memos don't appear in Palm Desktop but are backup crypted on PC in a .pdb file.
The synchronisation of non crypted memos with the native MemoPad application allow users to take advantage of all the features given by MemoPad :

automatic synchronisation with the PC and ability of seeing the records with Palm Desktop software or others.

backup on PC of the archived deleted records.
Moreover, the categories are also synchronised with both applications automatically.

CryptoPad uses cryptographic software written by Eric Young (eay@mincom.oz.au). This is a slight port to the PalmPilot of his Blowfish algorithm, as found at http://www.counterpane.com. I'm only using the cfb64-processing mode, which allows for encryption of arbitrary-length data with a password of up to 448 bits!

Thanks to Wolfgang Scheele a german translation of CryptoPad is now available. Wolfgang was kind enough to provide translation and suggestions since version 1.0. He can be reached at wolfgang_scheele@compuserve.com.

A strange behavior has been detected by Geoff Whale when using Left Hack with CryptoPad. Thanks to the useful advice from Neil Bridges himself, CryptoPad is now compatible with Left Hack. Geoff and Neil can be contacted at gwhale@nortelnetworks.com and nbridges@interlog.com.

WARNING

Due to heavy testing and development work between version 0.99b and 1.0, I had to change the format of the internal database where memos are stored. As a result, this application is not compatible with the previous beta version.
Please, delete the old application and data before upgrading.

I'm sorry for the inconvenience, but I think the result is worh it. Don't worry, the format should not change in the future again :-)

SCREENSHOTS

A new feature has been implemented : it is now possible to hide the lines of the edit form with a new choice in the Preferences.

CryptoPad is free, download version 2 or version 3 right now in English, French or German version. Alternatively, you can get the entire source code if you want to help, review or even copy this awesome application !
