Being in healthcare, I have some strong views on this topic. Unfortunately, I'm cramming for the CSI test I have tomorrow, and I still have two chapters to go through on the KnowledgeNet course. So, you will just have to wait... LOL Expect some comments on EAP-TLS, WPA, and assorted technologies. For now, I have to get some sleep, and study ;-)

[7:73988] For a large campus network that has a need for wireless access in conference rooms, cafeterias, etc., would it be overkill to require wireless clients to use VPN IPSec software to access the campus network? This is for a customer who is paranoid about security and understands the tradeoff of ease-of-use versus security. There are othere downsides with requiring VPN software, of course, including the usual issues of incompatibility with some apps, the lack of support for protocols other than IP, and the lack of support for multicast applications (from what I understand). Also, we have to consider the scalability of the current VPN solution and whether it can support numerous transient wireless users, but we think it can. There are many advantages with IPSec too, like support for encryption that actually works... What do you all think? Do any of you require your campus wireless users to use VPN software? Sorry if it's a stupid question.
