-----Original Message----- From: Walter, Randy [mailto:Randy.Walter@private] Sent: Wednesday, August 22, 2001 10:58 AM To: Trimble, Matt; George Heuston Subject: RE: AirSnort Matt, thanks for sending this on... George, as usual the title does an injustice to the rest of the wireless world. From a purely COMMSEC point of view, VPN's with traffic that is encrypted off the network, transmitted across a network, then decrypted off the network is the only secure traffic out there. There are no short cuts to the handling of secure traffic. This would be a good topic for the CRIME group as a whole... there is still this blind faith in the login screen to a network, wireless or wired.
