<br>
feel free to put it to bed for now. <br>
<br>
Nonetheless, I hope and believe that this group will continue to look
for ways to make the N800 a more secure mobile device. Here are a few
more items I can think of for consideration by Nokia itself:<br>
<br>
</font>
<blockquote><font face="Arial">1. An option for keeping sensitive data
on the device encrypted. This is important for dealing with the fact
that mobile devices get stolen and, more often lost.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Arial">2. An option in the improved mail client, whenever
that arrives from Nokia ,for supporting encrypted email payload and
sender authentication.</font><br>
</blockquote>
<font face="Arial"><br>
I should add that the "someone" to whom security is important is, at a
minimum, the corporate user, should the N800 device become (as I think
it can become) a useful device in the corporate environment. <br>
<br>
A large and looming issue on the "plates" of the corporate it staffs
these days is managing the proliferation of mobile devices
(pda's/notebooks/smartphones, etc.) that can and do drill into the
interior of the corporate network to access different applications
that process sensitive company information.<br>

thread should really be put to bed. The only concrete action item that
has emerged from it is a request for the inclusion of iptables, which
is duly noted. Iptables is one clearly useful tool for limiting access
to a daemon based on source IP. Since none of the devices ship with
any daemons running by default, this is likely to be a low priority for
Nokia engineers. It is, nonetheless, worth noting that it would
provide 3rd party developers and and power users with options for
limiting access to user-installed daemons.
<br>
<br>
If this is important to someone, they should build a kernel package
with the feature enabled. If it generates interest, we'll be in a much
better position to petition Nokia for the feature than by discussing it
in a vacuum as is currently happening.

<br>
Thanks,
