Abstract

The goal of creating a secure wireless network in which to conduct commerce is an elusive one. Mobile commerce, (m-commerce) therefore, relies on the wired network to deliver services to its consumers. Trust of the service delivery is a security concern that has prevented a greater acceptance of m-commerce by consumers. This research proposes a new network model that can ensure trust in a mobile commerce environment. A goal of the trusted relationship is to guarantee data and relational integrity in the wireless environment. Research in progress provides a diverse array of solutions from mobile agent systems (Critchlow, 2004, Wang, 2005, Zhang, 2004), the use of a unique asymmetric authentication protocol (He, 2003), to the use of XML to enable Web service efficiencies in architecture (Chang, 2005). This work recognizes and provides plausible solutions to the four elements of challenges and threats to wireless networks outlined by Claessens (2003) and the model is proposed to ensure trust in the m-commerce environment.
