Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Concept
A protocol feature is a capability defined by that protocol suite. A general-purpose operation may be used inside an implementation without being a named platform capability.
WAP 2.0 expanded the mobile-web environment through communication, messaging, and device-service capabilities.
Application
The WAP Forum materials identify push alongside the traditional pull model, Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS), and a Persistent Storage Interface for organizing, accessing, storing, and retrieving device data. Hashing is instead a general cryptographic operation that maps data to a digest; it is not listed as one of these WAP 2.0 platform capabilities.
Contrast
Push and Pull Model: supports both client-requested content and server-initiated delivery.
Interface to a storage device: exposes persistent-storage services for data held on the wireless device.
Multimedia messaging: supplies the MMS framework for messages containing multiple media types.
Hashing: supplies a general one-way digest operation used in cryptographic systems.
Result
Therefore, the value that is not a WAP 2.0 feature is Hashing.
