Epiphan Consulting announces the availability of LinkSpy™ - a VPN SDK/DDK for Windows CE


ACTON, M.A., April 12th - Epiphan Consulting Inc. (www.epiphan.com) a leader in providing Windows CE software development services, announced today the availability of the LinkSpy™ Software and Driver development kit (SDK/DDK). LinkSpy SDK/DDK enables leading technology vendors to develop their own Virtual Private Network solutions for the Windows CE operating system. Unlike many other SDKs, LinkSpy is provided with full source code that could be freely modified if required.

Windows CE based devices (such as PocketPC and SmartPhone) are seeing explosive growth in the mobile computing marketplace, and are poised to become an essential tool in enterprise computing. As such, secure data transmission between the mobile device the enterprise is paramount. The LinkSpy SDK/DDK provides the tools necessary to develop Virtual Private Networking (VPN) solutions for WindowsCE based devices. Using this SDK/DDK, technology vendors can now give WindowsCE based devices the capability of connecting to a VPN -- the capability that conventional Windows 32 laptops and desktops already have.

The key aspect in every VPN is the security of the information exchange between an off-site computer and a local network. This requires monitoring and encrypting information packets that were sent to or received from a network. Such monitoring can be achieved through the development of VPN solutions using the LinkSpy SDK/DDK.

The LinkSpy SDK/DDK provides the framework and samples necessary to create "VPN drivers" that work with different types of connections (i.e.: PPP, Ethernet). Technology vendors who choose to develop VPN solutions using the LinkSpy SDK/DDK can reduce the effort and risks involved with designing and implementing a VPN solution for Windows CE from scratch.
