Hi,

I know there are some (?) ppl here actually working on AV apps for Palm, though others might be profund to answer, too: How severe is the actual (or maybe upcoming) threat by malicious apps for PalmOS?

I'm trying to write a password manager and I think I will be able to get an effective keylength > 64 bit, thus making it more or less secure against non-supercomputer (or grid) attacks. In general the danger of compromising the key is basically larger when there's malicious code on the device that logs key input and/or scans the memory. So it would be nice to know, how many known apps are in the wild that do stuff like this and that could be used to break an otherwise secure database.
