The goal of the paper is to propose a general approach for the authentication of users in remote domains while maintaining strict separation of security domains. The article begins with a discussion of security issues specific to user mobility, with identification of authentication requirements. Authentication solutions in existing mobile-user environments are summarized, the authors´ solution to authentication of mobile users is presented, then some variations on the theme are introduced.<>
