A Secure and Efficient Application Download Architecture in 3G Mobile Environment

Abstract

由於第三代行動通訊的技術提升，使得第三代行動手機受到廣泛的使用。由於其高頻㠙的傳輸能力，使得電信業者相繼地提供高傳輸和高品質的行動服務。不過，如果要取得該項服務，電信用戶往往需要經過復雜的程序來安裝相關的應用軟體。因此，我們提出一個有效率且安全的應用軟體下載的架構。透過此架構，電信用戶可以隨時隨地而且方便地下載該項服務的應用軟體。

The 3rd generation (3G) UMTS mobile system has been widely used because of its advances in telecommunication technology. Due to its high-speed transmission capability, numerous high speed and high quality services are (and will be) provided based on 3G mobile system. However, the subscribers need to download and install new service programs before enjoying the numerous applications. In this paper, an efficient and secure application download architecture is proposed. By employing this architecture, the subscribers can securely download new applications and install them anytime and anywhere.
