Mark Shuttleworth, SA's most renowned IT millionaire, will speak at two business breakfasts this week, discussing how Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) security and the impact of m-commerce will affect business process evolution in this country.
Sponsored by the South African Certification Agency (SACA), the breakfasts will be held at the Hilton Hotel Sandton in Gauteng on 28 July and the Mount Nelson Hotel in Cape Town on 26 July.
SACA sees itself as leading the way in the provision of PKI solutions and services for the emerging wireless market.
Its related products offer consumers the chance to securely transmit confidential data. A wireless platform PKI enables users to network without delay and the GoSecure packaged services for wireless e-commerce are tailored for people on the move. WAP services include a VeriSign Onsite service for clients to access instant assistance anywhere, anytime.
"This opens up e-commerce-type facilities to a vital new market that does not have access to the Internet itself," says Gerda Venter, SACA marketing executive. "Clients will benefit from the obvious convenience of cellphone technology and the data transfers that can now be done over GSM cellular networks instead of just over the Internet."
