Was this the article discussing linear feedback shift
registers (LSFRs)? If so, I can attest to the simplicity
and low overhead of the algorithm. I used it in password
protection scheme for a non-Palm project a while ago and
have great success. The trick is protecting the keys used
to initialize the random bitstream.
