-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- i'll take that one - basically there are two sections involved in the mobile phone to e-gold web site communication path, both of which are encrypted to protect the data in transit.
the RF encrypted section will vary in methodology according to your provider and their gateway capabilities. see this whitepaper on the security involved in the AT&T Pocketnet CDPD data network. (for what it's worth, i use Pocketnet to access e-gold.) the other part of the path to the e-gold site will always be SSL protected and arrives at the e-gold servers just like any other IP connection to port 443. for most of the wireless providers, this connection will be coming from the provider's gateway making a connection on behalf of a particular mobile handset. the mobile phones i am familiar with provide something similar to a browser lock icon to indicate secure mode. there are mobile phone emulators that do support SSL - but to answer your question, i am not aware of any mobile phones that perform SSL themselves. readers unfamiliar with the mobile use of e-gold might want to take a look at this demonstation: http://pcs.e-gold.com/demo.html jay w.
