1. Introduction
Mobile devices such as laptops, smartphones or tablets have different
requirements than the traditional fixed devices. These mobile
devices often change their network attachment. They are often
attached to trusted networks, but sometimes they need to be connected
to untrusted networks where their communications can be eavesdropped,
filtered or modified. In these situations, the classical approach is
to rely on VPN protocols such as DTLS or IPSec. These VPN protocols
provide the encryption and authentication functions to protect those
mobile clients from malicious behaviors in untrusted networks.
