A PKI-based End-To-End Secure Infrastructure for Mobile E-Commerce
Tin-Wo Cheung, Samuel T. Chanson · Kluwer Academic Publishers eBooks · 2006
The popularity of handheld mobile devices, the move towards electronic commerce, and deployment of the public key infrastructure in many parts of the world have led to the development of electronic commerce on mobile devices. The main challenge is the limited computing capacity on these devices for PKI-based end-to-end secure transactions. This paper presents a new architecture and protocol for authentication and key exchange as well as the supporting infrastructure that is suitable for the mobile environment. The system requirements and our solutions in addressing these requirements in the restrictive environment are discussed. An evaluation of the system performance is also included. The system has been implemented and is supporting some real-life applications.
