Introduction

 

CIC's Signature Wallet is a security account management application that also protects your Palm organizer.  Unlike other account management applications that use passwords for data access, Signature Wallet will use your signature.  Signature Wallet uses biometric signature verification to keep your data safe.  This technology records and measures the speed, rhythm, patterns and habits unique to your - and only your handwriting.  Your signature cannot be forgotten, lost, or guessed.  Signature Wallet can be used to store personal and/or business security account information such as:  bank accounts, credit cards, online shopping accounts, and network security accounts.  All data is encrypted with 128 bit encryption for security.   Signature Wallet can also lock your Palm organizer so that no one can access any of your other data.

If Signature Wallet is installed using the Signature Wallet Administration Tool, you will be prompted to enter a password to access the Palm OS device.  You can then enroll your signature template.  If you do not enroll immediately, you will be prompted again the next time you access your device.  You will be required to enroll upon your third access into the Palm OS device.

You will need to enter your signature three times to complete the template.  Tap Next to begin.  Sign and tap Next until you've signed three times.  You can clear signatures and re-sign by selecting Clear.
