Sharp Zaurus PDA SL-5000D and SL-5500 uses a salt of A0 to encrypt the screen-locking password as stored in the Security.conf file, which makes it easier for local users to guess the password via brute force methods.
Weakness
The product stores or transmits sensitive data using an encryption scheme that is theoretically sound, but is not strong enough for the level of protection required.
