The Nokia mobile virtual private network (VPN) client creates a secure connection to compatible corporate Intranet and services,
such as e-mail. Your device connects from a mobile network, through the Internet, to a corporate VPN gateway that acts as a
front door to the compatible corporate network. VPN client uses IP Security (IPSec) technology. IPSec is a framework of open
standards for supporting secure exchange of data over IP networks.

VPN policies define the method used by VPN client and a VPN gateway to authenticate each other, and the encryption algorithms
that they use to help protect the confidentiality of data. Contact your corporation for a VPN policy.
To use VPN with an application, the application must be associated with a VPN access point. A VPN access point is made up of
an Internet access point and a VPN policy.
VPN management
You can manage your VPN policies, policy servers, VPN logs, and key store password in VPN management. VPN policies define
how data is encrypted for transfer over unsecured networks. The key store password helps protect private keys.
An access point is where your device connects to the network by way of a data call or packet data connection. To use e-mail
and multimedia services or to browse Web pages, you must first define Internet access points for these services. VPN access
points pair VPN policies with Internet access points to create encrypted connections.
