is easy to be lulled into a false sense of security once your
VPN is in place. It is generally accepted that in order to be truly
effective, a VPN must be combined with strong authentication. More
and more companies are turning to SSL VPNs for their flexibility,
ease of administration, and proven security.

spanning two points. Although the traffic traveling through this
private tunnel is encrypted, the walls are transparent.

en-route is not enough. It is also essential that the identity
of the conversation partner is known; without strong authentication
