• an assigned VDR state;
• a provisioning request state;
• and
• a community of interest (COI) active state;
• the mobile gateway including:
• a processor operating as a VDR broker and configured to allocate VDRs to mobile devices based on authentication credentials received from the mobile devices and obtain key information to provide to the allocated VDRs for use in secure communications within the secured network;
• one or more VDRs associated with the mobile device and providing proxied secure communications using the key information obtained from an authentication server based on the authentication credentials provided by the mobile device.
