Wireless set: an approach for the deployment of set over WAP mobile networks

This paper addresses the deployment of the Secure Electronic Transaction (SET) protocol for the payment in the mobile commerce. The strength of this protocol is in its capability to separate within the same message, the order information intended to the seller and the payment information intended to the payment gateway. We note that the payment information must be seen only by the payment gateway. Moreover, this approach avoids the “WAP gap” since the payment information would not be decrypted within the WAP gateway.
