Abstract

This paper shows an end-to-end application-layer security solution for wireless enterprise applications using the Java 2 Platform Micro Edition (J2ME). The proposed solution uses pure Java components to provide end-to-end client authentication and data confidentiality between wireless J2ME based clients and J2EE based servers. This solution can be implemented with the available limited resources of a Java MIDP device, without any modification to the underlying protocols or wireless network infrastructure. A mobile banking application is used to illustrate the implementation of the proposed solution.
