Security on the road

If you travel frequently and access the internet from your Powerbook or iBook, or if you use webmail at various locations, you might want to have a look at the Mobile Security reader report thread over at MacInTouch. The thread offers a wealth of information, ideas and hacks you can use to make your computing environment more secure, no matter how mobile.

The thread is in response to the following reader question, which receives a host of useful responses:

 I have a client who is going on vacation and then traveling for work; he will be gone for 3 months. What he
wants to do is put all his passwords in an email that he is going to send to himself. That email will be accessed
from all around the world on different machines.

 How does he protect that email and still make it accessible from anywhere on anything? The machines will be
public and private, his own and others.
