VPNs in handheld devices provide one of the better ways to prevent intruders from gaining access to wireless transmissions. Once the device's VPN client is present and obtains an IP address by connecting to the Internet, it can authenticate itself to a company VPN's server (see Sandra Kay Miller's "Facing the Challenge of Wireless Security"). In many VPN applications, IPSec is included to drive cyber guerillas away (see Dale Gardner's "Wireless Securities").
Microsoft has added a VPN support for its Pocket PC 2002, while WebSphere Everyplace Connection Manager includes a mobile VPN (for laptops and PDAs) to encrypt data. This software is intended to protect roaming across both wireless and wired networks. It also enables a developer to make portal information available to multiple types of devices (see Jimmy Thrasher's "Transcoding Technology in WebSphere Everyplace Access: Using Transcoding Technology to Expand your Pervasive Portal").
