Towards Secure Mobile P2P Systems

The growth of mobile devices with near PC equivalent capabilities has brought with it the possibility of mobile P2P systems. However, the nature of mobile devices brings additional issues that need to be considered, especially for when considering system security. This paper presents our initial work on the EU funded PEPERS project that seeks to support the development of secure mobile P2P applications. A core part of this support is with the design and development of a mobile P2P security platform.
