Abstract
Providing virtual private network (VPN) sessions or other types of secure or private access to data when a client authorized to access the data travels or otherwise roams from a home network to a partner network is contemplated. The VPN session may be established as part of or as a result of an authentication process undertaken by the client when gaining access to the partner network, such as but not necessarily limited to a home network authentication process undertaken at the partner network to authenticate the client to access partner network services.
