MobiS: A Solution for the Development of Secure Applications for Mobile Devices

With the mobile computing evolution, portable devices have emerged in the market with the possibility of connection to IP networks using wireless technologies. The migration from fixed terminals to wireless mobile devices and the increasing availability of information for such devices impose new challenges in the development of applications. The security and the port- ability are examples of these challenges that constitute the motivation for this work. Our main goal is to introduce a solution, called MobiS (Mobility and Se- curity), to the development of secure applications for data transmission using wireless technologies.
