  • Publication number: 20040143735
    Abstract: A method for securing communications within a computer network that includes wireless devices is presented. The method involves the use of a middleware server, which allows ill-performing and potentially insecure communications protocols to be off-loaded onto a more powerful machine running in a more secure environment, e.g., within a company's Intranet. The method can be practiced with any symmetric encryption algorithm, and can be combined with additional security methods, such as asymmetric encryption methods.
