The security standards used at UML is WPA / TKIP encryption and 802.1x EAP / PEAP with MSCHAPv2 authentication.  Please note that some devices do not need a client certificate (such as Odyssey client software) and others do require a certificate.

If you do need the certificate you can get it from the following link, at this point there are no instructions available for configuring wireless on your PDA with the certificate.
