Security Issues for Mobile Government

Mobile and Wireless systems offer new services for public administration that cannot be served by customary wired systems. The wireless mobile system is a solution for some problems that exist in traditional wired systems but they also initiate new security issues. Although the security concerns of wireless mobile systems cannot be completely eliminated with today’s available standards and techniques, it can be moderate some of the problems by a proper integration of standards, technologies, management, policies and service environments. This paper will address the wireless and mobile security issues and challenges faced in the development and implementation of mGovernment Systems and we will also discuss the cases and lessons learned, and future of security solutions, as they relate to mGovernment.
