Security issues of m-commerce over hotspot networks

The development of WLANs in general and of Wi-Fi (802.11b standard) in particular, emerged these two last years as a technology support of public access to the Internet. We think that the potential role of Wi-Fi hotspots, those wireless networks deployed in public environments such as airports, hotels and conference centres, is enormous and will give a new breath to the mobile commerce market. However, the m-commerce still faces challenges, due to the immaturity of these new technologies and where security represents one of its major issues.
