Abstract

How often do you go on a business trip, pull out your laptop, and access your firm's proprietary information? Perhaps you use an airport's WiFi system to connect to the Internet. You answer some e‐mail, check some facts or news on the Web, and get some work done.

But while you're doing that, some hacker can also be intercepting your wireless transmissions—and gaining unfettered access to your company's records or your personal data.
