CryptoPadSplicer enables the use of the cryptographic MemoPad alternative, CryptoPad, as a replacement application. It acts as a bridge between the two programs.
To install CryptoPadSplicer, users will need to have gcc and a recent version of pilot-link with header files installed. It may be necessary to adjust include and link paths in the Makefile during installation. Once these requirements are met, users can simply run a "make" command followed by an optional "make install" command (as root) to complete the installation process. Although CryptoPadSplicer was developed under Linux, it may work with other operating systems as well. In case any changes are required to make it work, users are encouraged to send feedback to the developer.
When using CryptoPadSplicer, users can use the "-h" flag to access a brief help menu. If no options are specified, the software will connect to the Palm device, retrieve the CryptoPad entries, and request passwords if the entries are encrypted. It saves the entries in a directory, with the entry title serving as the directory name and the category serving as the parent directory name. If multiple entries are encrypted with the same password, the software will not request it again as it comes with a "global password" feature that pre-exists in CryptoPad.
The software also offers several other options. For instance, users can use the "-d" flag to specify a directory where all categories and entries are saved. Additionally, the "-l" flag will list all entries with their index number, category, name, size, and whether or not they are encrypted. Users can also get a single entry by specifying its index number with the "-g" flag. The "-f" flag, on the other hand, will allow users to use a database they already have on disk, such as from a backup or pilot-xfer. Lastly, users can specify the port with "-p" if their cradle is not connected to /dev/pilot.
Overall, CryptoPadSplicer is a reliable and efficient option for encrypting data on Palm computing platforms. It offers several useful features and functionalities that make it easy to use and customize to suit individual needs.
