The Pan-European RACE II project Mobilise develops and demonstrates the `Personal Services Communication Space' (PSCS) as an approach for the deployment of personalised, mobile communication services based on `Intelligent Network' (IN) techniques.This paper discusses - after an introduction to end-to-end security service requirements - the security architecture of the PSCS demonstrator. It gives examples how these requirements can be met by using existing demonstrator features. A `Public Key Cryptosystem' (PKCS) using the RSA encryption algorithm is used for the mutual authentication between communication partners in the PSCS system. Available smart card technology is used for the secure storage of private and certified public keys, personal data, and for the processing of cryptographical functions needed by the PKCS. A security architecture including a certification hierarchy and a suitable protocol for the mutual authentication has been implemented according to existing standards (X.509, ASN.1, PKCS#1). The performance of the system has been evaluated in detail and examples for the provisioning of end-to-end security services are given.
