Abstract: The disclosure describes a method for securing the trustworthiness of an electronic device. At least first and second check-up data are stored in the electronic device. In the method, a first step of a boot program is executed. In the first boot step, the trustworthiness of the first check-up data is examined, wherein if the check-up shows that the first check-up data is trusted, the second check-up data related to the second boot step is examined to confirm the trustworthiness of the second boot step. If the check-up shows that the second check-up data related to the second boot step is trusted, the second boot step is executed after said first boot step.

Abstract: The present invention is a method and an apparatus for searching a personal digital assistant (PDA) data base utilizing a search criteria and displaying the result so that the user can determine whether the search yielded the intended result, whether the search needs to be refined, or whether the outcome should be used to initiate an electronic communication such as a telephone call. After successfully obtaining the specific name and recipient information, such as a telephone number, telefax number, numbers for an Internet server and related E-mail address, the numbers may be applied to a telephone for establishing a PSTN or telephone connection. Thereafter the PDA, utilizing the telephone unit links the user to a line or employs data transmission capabilities of a wireless network to send telefaxes, short messages, E-mail and to connect with remote computers. Using a keyboard the user can store data in a data base, alter the data base and input search criteria.
