Vulnerability

Due to their portability (being carried around and everything) mobile computers are more likely to be stolen and more vulnerable to loss or damage than stationary computers [45]. With this in mind I hope it is clear why I have already indicated that the mobile clients are "untrusted", and why I have chosen the server to be the true home of the shared data.
