In my opinion, we'll see one wireless company after another falling into line. And I'm now just going to think aloud, and this is only my opinion... If wireless devices support ECC out of necessity, then ANYTHING they need to talk to securely end-to-end will have to support it too, no? SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) which is the protocol currently used to secure normal web-based transactions uses RSA as part of the protocol. Wireless devices won't have RSA...they'll have ECC. So if a webserver (for e-commerce, e-trading, e-tailing whatever) needs to offer end-to-end security, doesn't that imply the they'll have to support ECC too?
