|Secure storage of the SecurID seed record
|SecurID for the Palm Computing Platform is installed on a Palm device
|through a simple one-time process. After installation, the SecurID
|application and seed record are securely stored on the Palm device.
|Several safeguards are used to prevent the application from being hacked
