Matt & Educause,

We will be getting access to an iPhone in the near future and we plan on
digging into it, to answer questions such as this. Unless someone else
can furnish the information we need, we'll use it as an opportunity to
dig into the new technology. It's seems pretty clear that we are headed
down the road of increasing amounts of mobile devices so we had best
prepare for the inevitable security issues that will emerge.

Has anyone been able to find out what security protocols the iPhones
use?  We have had zero success going through Apple support web pages.

Thanks!
