Security on CDMA for Banking Applications

Subject: Security on CDMA for Banking Applications
Date: 26 Mar 2005 03:19:15 -0000


Hi,

  I have a client in a South Asian country that wants to run some Banking 
Applicationns over CDMA Wireless. Why CDMA ? - its just becos he has bank 
branches at places where there are no other means of communication - no Leased/ 
ISDN or any other form of links. The apps/ middlewares by themselves dont 
encrypt the data as it travels over Wire/ Wireless. The Apps run on TCP/ IP 
with dumb terminals connecting to the same; with a proprietary middle ware that 
enables this Apps to terminal interconnection

I would like to know 

a. Is it advisable to run banking apps (include financial transactions) over 
CDMA
b. What perceived Security threats are there when doing so
c. What methods are available to overcome these (hardware/ software etc) - any 
suggestions for products
d. What inherent Security is available in CDMA 
e. Any previous experiences for the same

Thanks
Shankar
