Configuring Secure Wireless (SFUNET-SECURE) for iphone/ipod Touch 2.0 What does Secure Wireless (SFUNET-SECURE) do? The Secure Wireless Network uses an encrypted connection between the SFU Wireless Access Points and your wireless enabled computer or mobile device. This prevents other users from intercepting your radio signal and gaining private information from your network traffic. Why should I use SFUNET-SECURE on my iphone or ipod touch? SFUNET-SECURE is preferable over standard SFUNET for two reasons: 1. The connection is encrypted and secure. SFU uses advanced encryption techniques to provide a robust security protocol between a mobile client and an access point. 2. On standard SFUNET, you must authenticate (enter your SFU Computing ID and password) through a web page each time you want to use wireless, which can be difficult and tedious on a mobile device. With SFUNET-SECURE, your ID and password are saved, meaning you only need to enter them once. What do I need first? SFUNET-SECURE can be used on an iphone or ipod touch (referred to as the Device) running version 2.0 of the iphone software. You can check your software version by performing the following steps: 1.
