Personal data manager

A personal data manager (PDM) is a portable hardware tool enabling secure storage and easy access to user data. It can also be an application located on a portable smart device or PC, enabling novice end-users to directly define, classify, and manipulate a universe of information objects. Usually PDMs include password management software, web-browser favorites and cryptographic software. Advanced PDM can also store settings for VPN and Terminal Services, address books, and other features. PDM can also store and launch several portable software applications.
