I' currently doing some WAP development and a few (technically apt) clients are keen to implement WTLS. Now I'm doing some research and have come across of few useful pieces of information - but this only theoretically explains the how WTLS works with WAP. I need to actually find out how to go about implementing it terms of:

1 - Do I have to obtain a WTLS certificate as with SSL?
2 - How much support is out their for WTLS, is it supported by only modern mobiles?
3 - Is there any programming involved or is it similar to the implementation of SSL?


In conclusion...I've read much about how insecure WTLS currently is as the encryption from the client to the gateway is lost and the data is converted into plaintext at the gateway and that SSL will takeover from the gateway to the resulting server... and a whole bunch of other stuff...

I need to know how I can go about practically implementing WTLS...


Thanks
