Mobile Personal Firewall

Tags:
firewalls

Overview More and more activities (such as, e-commerce, e-learning, e-chat, etc.) rely on mobile devices. It is an important issue on how to protect mobile users engaged in mobile services. Unfortunately, the conventional firewalls are inappropriate for mobile networks because of the limited computing and communication capabilities of mobile devices. Furthermore, with a conventional firewall, a guardian is not able to monitor/control dynamically the mobile node's activities when the mobile node roams. This paper introduce a new concept of mobile personal firewall and propose a concrete scheme that matches mobile environment and exploits mobile network facilities.
