Overview: The deployment of wireless mobile devices - including Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs) such as Palmtops and BlackBerrys, cell phones, smartphones, and laptops - is growing faster than the Internet. There are specific information security issues that users of wireless mobile devices need to deal with, partly technological but primarily human: wireless technology frees you from the wires of the desktop computer, enabling you to work in ways that suit you, and where, when and how it suits you. This is what is propelling the dramatic increase in the deployment of wireless technology. There are three primary wireless technologies, deployed in cell phones, PDAs, and smartphones: Bluetooth; Mobile telephony; and Short message service. This paper explains all the above technologies.
