Route1's Mobi solution is hardware, software, and a managed service that extend existing computing, networking and security infrastructures to outworkers without requiring modification to existing systems or end-user training. Mobi's Perfect Forward Secrecy design guarantees that the compromise of a long-term private key does not compromise any earlier session keys used to secure communications or transactions.
