1. What is visNotes PPC?
visNotes PPC is a data safe for easy storage of all your text based private data, like passwords, PINs, bank accounts, ....
At startup it shows a picture of your choice. You can only access your private data, if you click on certain previously defined spots on the picture in the correct order.
SFR holds a patent on this revolutionary new "Visual Key" technology for authentication and encryption.
2. Why is visNotes more secure than other encryption software?
If you are using a 4-number PIN you have 10.000 different combinations for your password. visNotes radically increases these combinations, and easily helps you keeping your password in mind.
If you are using a picture with 240x320 pixels (standard screen size of a QVGA pocket PC) and use a "input precision" of 20, then you have more than 1.000.000.000 combinations using only 4 spots in the picture for your password.
3. Will visNotes PPC run on my Pocket PC?
visNotes PPC runs on pocket PC's with ARM compatible processors (e.g. XScale). Since Windows Mobile 2002 all new devices have a compatible processor.

14. What happens if I delete the picture, which I already use as my password picture (visDoor)?
visNotes duplicates the picture into a safe area. This means that the original file is not necessary for the protection of your private data.
