Wireless Transport Layer Security

Overview The Security layer protocol in the WAP architecture is called the Wireless Transport Layer Security, WTLS. The WTLS layer operates above the transport protocol layer. The WTLS layer is modular and it depends on the required security level of the given application whether it is used or not. WTLS provides the upper-level layer of WAP with a secure transport service interface that preserves the transport service interface below it. In addition, WTLS provides an interface for managing (e.g., creating and terminating) secure connections.
