Chosing a Smart Card for Secure Wireless E-Commerce
Overview In order to participate in mobile e-commerce based on the security services offered by a Public Key Infrastructure (PKI), the user must have a portable device that is both physically and logically secure. Typically, this device is an Integrated Chip Card (ICC) commonly referred to as "smart card." Without going into the technical details of the file or operating structure within the ICC or the communication protocols involved, this document examines various types of smart cards. The differences are viewed from the perspective of those seeking to provide security services for wireless e-business applications. In the GSM world, the smart card is known as a Subscriber Identity Module (SIM). Here, it is important to choose and implement the correct security services for integration into the SIM. Where WAP services are involved, the smart card is known as a Wireless Identity Module (WIM), and the same applies. For this reason, the paper also briefly examines these important aspects.
