Palm OS Security
Adam Bresson explores palm os security at DEF CON 8, examining palm-os and practical defenses.
Summary
Architecture and Background
Adam Bresson - Palm OS Security My talk will focus on protection of info and device via encryption/decryption, Palm OS / hardware architecture, and the structure of a Palm application.
Vulnerability Analysis
Techniques for implementing security for information, accessing Palm system modes and understanding code will be covered.
Exploitation and Demonstrations
My Background: I'm a three year veteran of the Palm scene affiliated with PDAZone, PalmWarez and PalmOlive.
Remediation and Defensive Strategies
I am dedicated to understanding the system and operational functions of the world's first usable PDA. I believe a Palm can do a whole lot more than just store numbers and appointments. My discussion will share my deep knowledge of this device.
