Design Experience of WIM Card for M-Commerce
Abstract

We present our design experience of WAP Identity Module(WIM), which will be a very versatile device for secure M-commerce. WIM cooperates with wireless transport layer security(WTLS) to authenticate participating parties and to provide confidentiality of network traffic. To achieve the purpose, various standards including wireless public key infrastructure(WPKI), X.509, ISO 7816 and PKCS#15 are supported in the WIM card.

ETRI WIM implementation is designed in strict layering approach, which separates the transport layer protocol and the application protocol from the overall structure. This layered approach helps developers upgrade easily the internal software modules.

Besides the WIM card, we show how the mobile terminal interacts with the WIM card in the device driver level. Though smard cards with publickey cryptography does not yet have many applications in Korea, use of them is growing gradually with the increase of M-commerce.
