 
Final Year Project: A Mobile Application
For Banking
Processes (2008)
Ref: ict0028 The purpose of this
project is to discuss
the issues associated with the deployment of a secure, WAP-based,
transactional banking system, and to build a solution with these issues
in mind. There are many pitfalls and problems that have to be overcome
when developing a m-commerce solution, ranging from security to
providing support for the multitude of WAP-enabled devices that are
currently on the market. The problems of linking into an existing
back-end infrastructure also need to be met. This paper will compare
and contrast available technologies that could be used to solve each of
these issues, and justify the technologies that were finally chosen.
The goal of this project is to develop a combined retail banking
application that was to be delivered multiple channels, including WAP
devices. The information has to be retrieved from existing back-end
systems on a combination of different platforms. In the following
section a detailed description of what WAP and wireless technology is
will be enlightened.
