Try http://www.easy-set.org
Also you can find (spanish) SET information at http://www.bookonhand.com
(bookseller that supports SET and easy-set thrugh Banesto bank). Information
is in spanish, but you can get a 500 k wallet there.
I am not so sure 3D SET is the solution, because 3D SET is just another
flavour of SET. In that case that only means that SET finally gets its way
to reach customers.
It�s true that payment is a matter of trust and liability (more than a
technical issue even if it uses technical solutions). So, it is probably
good to distinguish between the liability of the merchant-acquirer (1D), the
cardholder-issuer (2D) and the clearing network (3D).
But the 3D SET technical proposal is just a little bit more open approach to
the issuer liability mainly based in standard plain SET, with the (wrong)
assumption that is the simpler solution and the lightest wallet (or whatever
you define the dedicated plug-in). In fact, in my opinion, is simpler the
Easy-SET approach and has several advantages:
- The private key is under the control of the cardholder
- It can be used in countries where there are more than one Card Processor
(it is difficult to have several "server wallets" if you need to preserve
certificates associated to banks belonging to competing payment networks).
Nevertheless, I think card companies are now in the right path. Better than
defining technical solutions, they are defining who is going to pay for the
fraud and what services acquirer and issuers are bound to deploy and when.
So, if the acquirer allows its merchats to accept SET transactions, any
liability is transferred to the issuer. And that means that the only way for
issuers to recover balanced position as an on-site payment is to have SET
payment availability for their cardholders (being that standard SET,
easy-SET, or server wallet based 3D SET).
Still, other solutions are appearing in the market. In Europe, watch what is
happening with mobile phone enabled payments. (as Movilpago)

Client-based SET1.0 is dead. It has only reached about 0.1% of the
projections.
Maybe you should redirect the research task to cover payment methods over
the internet?
Or try to find out why SET 1.0 failed. Hints:
- Fraud is not a major issue in the US
- Very expensive
- Complicated client solution
- Slow
- Not very complient with Internet-banks which actually has been a huge
success
Try to get hold of 3D SET information which at least technically looks like
a winner.
Note that credit-card transactions over the Internet may redundant in
10 years or so if everybody is on-line and the number of currencies goes
down.
