Comparison between WPKI and PKI
WPKI与PKI关键技术对比

Compared to wired networks,wireless data networks present a more constrained communication environment: less bandwidth,more latency,less connection stability,etc.At the same time,there are many problems in hand-held wireless devices application environment,such as less powerful CPUs,less memory,restricted power consumption,smaller displays and so on.The WAP PKI specification has defined by WAP Forum in order to extend the application of PKI to wireless environment.The goal of the WAP PKI is to reuse the existing PKI standards where available,and only develop new standards where necessary to support the requirements of WAP.The application environment,protocol frame,data and business flow,encryption algorithms,certificate form and protocol standards of WAP PKI and PKI were compared.
