description Since Weiser's vision in 1991 for ubiquitous (also called pervasive) computing there has been little tangible progress towards it. However, over time the communications industry has begun to erode many of the hardware barriers to this vision. Even so, the utopia of pervasive computing remains out of reach, primarily as a result of the continued fixation with devices and connectivity as a way to realise mobility. However, it could be argued that users ultimately require access to information or content irrespective of the devices and connectivity around them. Consequently, pervasive information is seen as the key to true user mobility. This paper will introduce a potential secure pervasive information architecture that fits Weiser's vision, and position it with respect to a sub-set of current contenders for future systems from both academia and the telecommunications industry, and highlight their strengths and weaknesses.
