Hi barge,

Did you read what the NSA/DOD is saying in their mobile strategy, lots of stuff but some points of interest and sounds like something Wave's Endpoint Monitor could be used in JMHO:

PG 85

"User Equipment Relationship

The sole purpose of the black network in the Enterprise Mobility Infrastructure is to securely establish and maintain a VPN tunnel between the UE and grey network. All subsequent interactions with the UE occur over the grey network, including application and device management functions.

As part of establishing the VPN tunnel, the VPN Gateway, or associated component, should perform an assessment of the UE. This may include attestation of the UE's integrity status using
something like the Trusted Network Connect (TNC) protocol, and an exchange SCAP messages to verify that the UE configuration is correct. The UE should contain roots of trust such as a trusted
Boot ROM and Mobile TPM (MTM) to prevent tampering of attestation and configuration information by malicious software in an attempt to hide its presence.

UEs may be pre-configured with grey IP addresses, or grey IP addresses may be dynamically assigned by the VPN Gateway when an IPsec security association has been established (i.e., the
UE has been authenticated and authorized to access the grey network).

An important role of Device Management Services is the ability to push mandatory software updates to UEs, and to provide a trusted app store where all apps are digitally signed and can be
verified by the UE as being legitimate Government-approved apps.

Barge: You saw the movie version of Wave's journey. The documentary is much more accurate. It's on, on a different channel.

You really felt the sensation of flying didn't you? Well, you didn't actually move a foot on your trip at a simulated 1,000 feet.

First of all, that wasn't really a plane you were in, it was a big simulator set made to look like an airliner.

Out the window, you saw the latest in green screen tech--you could look down and think you see the ground.

And it was hydraulics tipping your cabin back and forth. And those Foley artists got the sound of jet engines just about perfect. Loved that roar.

Seriously, Barge. You know damned well the construction on the world's longest runway is not yet complete--and until it is, no planes will land or take off.

That's assuming Wave will be able to buy a plane and have the Scam-bls Rubber-Band Self Windup Airplane Logo painted on the craft rolling up to the terminal, if they ever finish the runway.

I went up in the real tower--not your movie tower--the real one, and I looked at their scopes--not one identified a single Wave craft.
There were no real people there, just dummies posed to look like Air Traffic Controllers.

The truth is, there's no traffic, except for the ones like you experienced in the simulator.

The Tower's Long range Ray-dar couldn't pick anything up, either. I think it must be still a ways out. Didn't answer when we called 'em on the two-way, either. Probably not yet in range.

But, you do amuse the waiting room while we wait. Who me? I've only been sitting here for going into my 17th year.

Yeah, drank the Koolaid, bought in at a buck back in Nov. 1996. That was (pre-split) $3. So, today, not a great day for us--that same $3 share is worth only 20 cents.

And I have been told repeatedly how important it was to keep the Wave shares in safe hands. Maybe he meant 'legitimate' hands--that's code for you know what.

Maybe you'll let me have a turn in the Whirl-a-thon. I'm slightly bored. The only candy the machines have is "Dots." God, I used to love them Dots as a kid.

Now, not so much. Not satisfying at all, for some reason.

Best--Blue
