Increasing security for a hand-held data processing device with
communication functionality where such a device includes an
access-ordered memory cache relating to communications carried out by the
device. The hand-held data processing device has a locked state that is
entered by the device receiving or initiating a trigger. On occurrence of
the trigger to enter the locked state the memory cache is reordered so as
to disrupt the access-ordering of the cache to obscure device traffic
information and thus increase the security of the device in the locked
state.
