A graduate in Bu- siness Administration (Dipl.-Kfm.), Tiwari co-leads the research project “Prospects of Mobile Commerce” at TUHH. The main area of his responsi- bility in this project is Mobile Banking. He was awarded with the “Market and Customer Orientation 2006” prize of the Vodafone Foundation for Research for his study on the prospects of Mobile Banking. Dr. Stephan Buse is Assistant Professor at the Institute of Technology and Innovation Management, Hamburg University of Technology (TUHH). Dr. Buse, earlier acting head of the Chair of International Management at University of Hamburg (UHH), founded the research project “Prospects of Mobile Commerce” in 2001 with the intention to conduct in-depth surveys and analysis of consumer behaviour and market developments in various fields of the mobile economy. He continues to lead and guide the project which at present consists of the following mobile commerce applications: Mobile Banking, Mobile Entertainment, Mobile Information Services, Mo- bile Marketing and Mobile Ticketing. Executive Summary Mobile Commerce has gained increasing acceptance amongst various sec- tions of the society in previous years. The reasons for its growth can be traced back to technological and demographical developments that have influenced many aspects of the socio-cultural behaviour in today’s world. The need (and/or wish) for mobility seems to be the driving force behind Mobile Commerce. The launch of UMTS technology has provided Mobile Commerce with the necessary verve. Mobile Financial Services build a cornerstone of Mobile Commerce. They comprise of Mobile Payment and Mobile Banking. Mobile Banking, the primary research object of this study, in turn consists of the following sub-applications: 1. Mobile Accounting 2. Mobile Brokerage 3. Mobile Financial Information Mobile Financial Information can be considered as an independent module and offered as a stand-alone application. Each of the first two sub- applications is offered, in contrast, invariably in combination with informa- tion services. An empirical survey of the customer acceptance conducted under the ambit of this study reveals large-scale interest in Mobile Banking. The cus- tomer interest and the willingness to pay however vary for individual ser- vices. It is therefore necessary to design offers taking cognizance of the needs and wishes of relevant target groups. Mobile Banking presents an opportunity for banks to retain their exist- ing, technology-savvy customer base by offering value-added, innovative services and to attract new customers from corresponding sections of the society. The customer survey provides evidence that such sections in the meanwhile include the affluent and financially relevant groups of the soci- ety in Germany. The time seems to be ripe to convert this non-negligible customer interest into business-driving customer demand. A proactive atti- tude on the part of the banks therefore seems to be recommendable. Many banks in Germany have come to regard Mobile Banking as a nec- essary tool for thwarting negative differentiation vis-à-vis rivals and to vi Executive Summary foster/retain an innovative image. This self-reinforcing dynamism is ex- pected to gain currency in near-future so that Mobile Banking services could soon advance to a standard product – on the lines of Online Banking – offer- ed by more or less each and every bank.

TRANSFORMATION: MOBILE MESSAGING EXCHANGE A NEW GOLDEN AGE OF MOBILE BANKING? The ubiquity of mobile phones has made them an ideal channel for mobile banking services. Research from Ovum indicates that retail bank investment into digital banking technology will achieve 5.2% CAGR (2018-2022) 1, It is to be assumed that a significant portion of this will target mobile banking applications and related services, and the growth rate is significantly higher than comparable investment in other IT areas, such as ATM, contact centre services or even fraud and security spending1. Emerging markets have proven particularly open to mobile banking services as the mobile infrastructures in these regions is often more advanced (and less expensive to deploy) than the fixed-line alternative. Traditionally SMS-based services have been the mainstay of mobile banking, but this has changed in developed markets with the advent of smartphones and the rise of the app economy.

A. Elsayed College of Engineering and Information Technology, Jeddah, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia E-mail: [email protected] Received: November 25, 2010 Accepted: April 21, 2011 Published: February 1, 2012 doi:10.5539/ijms.v4n1p77 URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.5539/ijms.v4n1p77 Abstract There has been a tremendous growth in the mobile telecommunication industry in Jordan. Jordan has already crossed the 6 million users mark in February 2009 (Arab Advisors Group's, 2010). At the same time, there has also been a growth in the mobile advertising space in Jordan. Although several papers have been written in the recent times about consumer attitudes towards mobile advertising, a systematic study of these for Jordan context is lacking. This paper has tried to address this need. The underlying paper discusses its relevance and investigates antecedents of consumer attitudes towards SMS advertising via mobile devices and variables influencing it. The analysis is based on a consumer survey. For this purpose a quota sample of 130 cellular phone users in Jordan has been interviewed. It was found that consumers’ perceptions of the entertainment value, Informativeness and credibility of SMS advertisements are positively correlated to consumers’ overall attitudes towards SMS advertisements.

  • Mobile Banking Authentication Secures Your App Security Platform While Eliminating the Need for Hardware Tokens Or One-Time Passwords
    Account Entersekt Protection solutionsMobile 2015 Banking authentication The Entersekt Entersekt’s solution for mobile banking authentication secures your app security platform while eliminating the need for hardware tokens or one-time passwords. Our product, Transakt, lies at the center of all of our solutions. Transakt uses industry-standard digital certificates to deliver the strongest possible device identification. These can be combined with a PIN, password, or fingerprint scan to identify the user and enable easy yet secure access to your mobile banking app. Transakt also creates a secure communication channel between your financial institution and your customers’ mobile devices. This enables you to send real-time requests to your users to authenticate sensitive transactions. Their responses are digitally signed, supporting nonre- pudiation, then encrypted and returned. Because the Transakt channel is truly out of band, Transakt counters all phishing attacks, man-in-the- middle exploits, and other kinds of digital fraud. Your institution retains complete control over user registration, which is independent of mobile networks and SIM cards. If a user’s phone is stolen, the certificate is revoked, immediately rendering the application unusable. What makes Transakt deploys a unique X.509 digital certificate to each mobile device. This robustly Transakt unique? identifies the device and creates a secure, mutually authenticated connection between it and the Transakt Secure Gateway – a FIPS 140-2 Level 3 hardware appliance installed behind the bank’s firewall. Typical implementation Mobile device A security token is retrieved from the Transakt Secure Gateway via a completely out-of-band channel.

  • Snooping Passcodes in Mobile Payment Using Wrist-Worn Wearables
    WristSpy: Snooping Passcodes in Mobile Payment Using Wrist-worn Wearables Chen Wang∗, Jian Liu∗, Xiaonan Guo†, Yan Wang‡ and Yingying Chen∗ ∗WINLAB, Rutgers University, North Brunswick, NJ 08902, USA †Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis, Indianapolis, IN 46202, USA ‡Binghamton University, Binghamton, NY 13902, USA [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] [email protected], [email protected] Abstract—Mobile payment has drawn considerable attention due to its convenience of paying via personal mobile devices at anytime and anywhere, and passcodes (i.e., PINs or patterns) are the first choice of most consumers to authorize the payment. This paper demonstrates a serious security breach and aims to raise the awareness of the public that the passcodes for authorizing transactions in mobile payments can be leaked by exploiting the embedded sensors in wearable devices (e.g., smartwatches). We present a passcode inference system, WristSpy, which examines to what extent the user’s PIN/pattern during the mobile payment could be revealed from a single wrist-worn wearable device under different passcode input scenarios involving either two hands or a single hand. In particular, WristSpy has the capability to accurately reconstruct fine-grained hand movement trajectories and infer PINs/patterns when mobile and wearable devices are on two hands through building a Euclidean distance-based model and developing a training-free parallel PIN/pattern inference algorithm. When both devices are on the same single hand, Fig. 1. Mobile payment examples and representative passcode input scenarios. a highly challenging case, WristSpy extracts multi-dimensional features by capturing the dynamics of minute hand vibrations from moderate accuracy (< 10% in 5 tries) because it is hard and performs machine-learning based classification to identify to capture fine-grained hand movements of the user.
