Virtual private networking
With virtual private networking (VPN), you can create
encrypted connections to information you need while
away from the office. You are in touch and in control with
encrypted access to your enterprise network for email,
database applications, and intranet.
Remote network traffic needs to be protected. Your
company might use a VPN to tunnel network traffic and
apply appropriate security policies. A VPN helps provide
network transactions with privacy and integrity and allows
users to be authenticated and authorized for access to
networks and network services.
To create a VPN, a gateway and the smartphone
authenticate each other and negotiate encryption and
authentication algorithms to help protect the privacy and
integrity of the information that you access.
The VPN system of the Nokia 7710 smartphone currently
supports the following gateways: Nokia IP VPN Gateway,
Cisco VPN 3000 Concentrator Series and Nokia IP Security
Platform. Search www.nokia.com for up-to-date
information on other supported gateways."
