Hey Ariel,

Most 'modern' mobile phones can support SSL, but it all depends on the content that you're wanting to protect really?
Is it really going to be worth using SSL to protect a WAP site?
What sort of application and data are you looking to protect, and then maybe I can give some more advice, bear in mind though that even using GPRS mobil phone connections are still slow, so you really don't want to lumber the overhead of crypto on top of that if you can avoid it.
