Access VPNs with Free movianVPN

Posted By: Ed Monday, February 19, 2001 8:40:19 AM

Certicom is developing movianVPN, which will allow Palm handhelds to connect with VPN servers installed at large corporate sites. It will work with wired and wireless connections, though not with the VII series. movianVPN will be available for free though support will cost $30 per client per year.

movianVPN will make connecting to an ISP then the corporate VPN server a single process for the user. Establishing the VPN session can take 10 seconds to 1 minute, Certicom says. That is in addition to the time it takes to connect to the ISP. Software at both ends generates encryption keys

So far, Certicom's client supports a rudimentary IP Security/Internet Key Exchange VPN session. Other vendors, such as Nortel, are working with Certicom to enhance these connections.

It’s currently interoperable with leading VPN gateways from:

  • Alcatel
  • Check Point Software Technologies
  • Cisco Systems
  • Nortel
  • Radguard
  • Symantec (AXENT)
