Security analysis of mobile web service provisioning

Abstract

Mobile data services in combination with profluent web services are seemingly the path breaking domain in current information systems research. Mobile web services have vast application domains and effectively pave the way for exciting performance and security challenges. Though numerous standardised security specifications and implementations exist for web services in general, not much has been analysed and standardised for mobile web services. This paper explores some of the critical challenges in providing security to the mobile web services domain and addresses the realisation of security for mobile web service provisioning with special focus at our Mobile Host.
