We are currently working with various mobile handset makers and cellular carriers in the US and the E.U. In my limited experience with this sector there seems to be a great need to provide secure services like email and data, while also managing the various users and devices on the network. The ability to deal with non-repudiation seems to be the one denominator that seems to be the hardest problem to resolve in the way of authentication. It seems to me that this problem can be resolved with PKI. The use of digital certificates in an "Asymmetric Authentication deployed as PKI" provides the challenge response needed for a trusted network.Also, by embedding these trusted digital certificates in the TPM chips of the device at manufacturing would be the more sensible and economical approach for the mobile handset makers and for the mobile carriers. I am interested in hearing your ideas in the way of securing mobile devices and authenticating them on a network.
