Security Aware Mobile Web Service Provisioning (1007.3640v1)

Abstract: Mobile data services in combination with profluent web services are seemingly the path breaking domain in current information research. Effectively, these mobile web services will pave the way for exciting performance and security challenges, the core need-to-be-addressed issues. On security front, though a lot of standardized security specifications and implementations exist for web services in the wired networks, not much has been analysed and standardized in the wireless environments. This paper addresses some of the critical challenges in providing security to the mobile web service domain. We first explore mobile web services and their key security issues, with special focus on provisioning based on a mobile web service provider realized by us. Later we discuss state-of-the-art security awareness in the wired and wireless web services, and finally address the realization of security for the mobile web service provisioning with performance analysis results.
