Light-weight, modular cryptographic and SSL/TLS library – PolarSSL
PolarSSL makes it easy for developers to include cryptographic and SSL/TLS capabilities in their embedded products with as little hassle as possible. It is designed to be readable, documented, tested, loosely coupled and portable.

I found the above site from this article on Slashdot.
The major change is the removal of OpenSSL as the cryptographic core of OpenVPN-NL. Instead, the Dutch government opted to include the smaller, better readable and documented open source library PolarSSL to provide the cryptographic and SSL/TLS functionality.
Die, VPN! We’re all “telecommuters” now—and IT must adjust
They can’t get the passcode into your cloud resources, and they don’t have the ability to generate the passcode. You don’t have to go that far, of course, but the point is that if there’s no local data on the device in normal use, there’s no local data on the device that can be stolen.

Here are a couple of interesting comments covering both sides of this issue:
I work in a large IT org in a large company. THis issue keeps creeping up all the time. I think most end users just really want access to email, ccontacts, calender and IM – this tends to cover at least 80% of the use cases. This can be done with a digital cert and loginid/password – without installing a VPN client. It took a while to convince the security group to do this. Full layer 3 routing access to the network should be for sensitive apps like SAP, etc. Sadly though most IT departments will continue to drive that square peg into that round hole.Hey, IPV6 will solve all our problems. LoL 🙂
