Modified Wap for Mobile Communications
نویسنده
چکیده
Rapid advances in Hardware and wireless communication technology have made the concept of mobile computing a reality. There is also an increasing need to preserve the confidentiality, data integrity and authenticity of data in order to have more security. In this paper, the security of the WAP WTLS (Wireless Application Protocol, Wireless Transport Layer Security) is analyzed and modification to the WAP is proposed to enable more secure communication through a New Secure Communication Protocol (NSCP). NSCP follows the same principle as the WTLS but with fewer overheads. It provides services that ensure privacy, server authentication, client authentication, and data integrity.
