Is WAP secure?
It depends on what you are trying to do. For day to day use, WAP is as secure as the mobile phone standard that your phone works on. As that will be probably be GSM, CDMA or TDMA, it is basically very secure against eavesdropping. If you were interested in m-commerce, buying plane tickets, for example, over a WAP phone, then it is fairly secure. The signal from your phone to the WAP gateway, and from the WAP gateway is totally secure, as secure as a normal e-commerce web site. However, there is a moment at the WAP gateway, about a third of a second, when the information is not encrypted, and in theory, the owners of the WAP gateway could print off your information. From a banks point of view, that is not secure enough, but for day to day use, giving your credit card details to a WAP site should not be any more of a problem than handing it over to a waiter in a restaurant.
