Infrared

How many times have you wirelessly transferred a file or a program from
your Palm computer to another? Most people perform this action on a regular
basis and never give it a second thought! But have you ever considered
how much in the way of information, programs, and contacts can easily
be compromised by anyone interested in acquiring this information?
It is imperative that you make certain that not just anybody can pick
up your handheld device and copy information from its memory
through your wireless infrared interface. The best security mechanism
designed to protect you from this type of information attack is to add
the safeguard of authentication to your infrared device transfer capabilities. In this way you can make certain that infrared capabilities on
your device are disabled unless you specifically authorize them to function.
