Abstract

The perceived lack of security in the wireless environmenthas delayed many initiatives in providing access to e-commerceapplications from wireless devices. Manyorganizations are skeptical that the same kind of securityprotections that they are used to in the current Internet(wired) e-commerce environment are also available forwireless transactions. In this paper we will show that theseperceptions are misplaced. We describe the securityproperties and mechanisms available for Internet (wired),WAP based and iMode e-commerce. We find that bothWAP and iMode provide excellent security features andare geared to provide other security provisions over andabove those commonly available in a wired environment.
