A method for securing communications within a computer network that includes wireless devices (110, 120) is presented. The method involves the use of a middleware server (100), which allows ill-performing and potentially insecure communications protocols to be off-loaded onto a more powerful machine (170, 180) running in a more secure environment, e.g., within a company's Intranet (160). The method can be practiced with any simmetric encryption algorithm, and can be combined with additional security methods, such as asymmetric encryption methods. |
