Title: An Analysis of WAP/WTLS Members: Alice in Wonderland Courage the Cowardly Dog Abstract: The growth in the wireless market is being driven by the immense, universal popularity of mobile phones, personal digital assistants (PDA) and handheld PCs (HPC). Services and applications for these devices are increasing rapidly. In order to deliver these services and applications in a secure, scalable and manageable way, new architectures and protocols are being designed. The Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) is a result of continuous work to define an industry-wide specification for developing applications that operate over wireless communication networks. The WAP specification is developed and supported by the wireless telecommunication community so that the entire industry and most importantly, its subscribers can benefit from a single, open specification. WAP is a standard for wireless Internet based information services that uses lightweight versions of Internet protocols. WAP is better suited for wireless devices with certain restrictions (bandwidth, processor, display). WTLS (Wireless Transport Layer Security) adapts to wireless networks the SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) used to provide secure session-to-session security in web systems. In this project, we will study WAP, WTLS, and analyze a toolkit designed for deploying WAP/WTLS for mobile devices.
