  • 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.

  • Mobile Payments
    Mobile Payments - A study of the emerging payments ecosystem and its inhabitants while building a business case. By: Cherian Abraham Principal Analyst – Mobile Commerce & Payments Practice / Co-Founder - DROP Labs Twitter @ http://twitter.com/cherian abraham LinkedIn @ http://www.linkedin.com/in/cherianabraham For more information on this study and associated research, contact me at EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The advent of the ubiquitous smart phone has along with it brought dramatic shifts in customer behavior and payment modalities. Banks are finding themselves in an unenviable position of choosing to wait until a secure and safe standard emerges for "Digital", or take the plunge in to these murky payment waters. There is a battle waging for the customer mind-share and emerging revenue streams, between traditional and non-traditional players - who are ever more emboldened by advances in technology and disappearing barriers to entry. The objective of this study is to build a business case for banks evaluating the opportunities and challenges present in building out mobile payment solutions, including direct and indirect revenue generation. This study paints a roadmap of current mobile payment initiatives undertaken by Financial institutions, MNO's and technology upstarts, and to highlight the risks of building payment solutions which are not centered on the payment context. This study summarizes the challenges ahead for mobile payments, including a lack of interoperability, consumer apathy and a general lack of understanding of its merits. It is targeted at financial institutions that may be making first steps, by building out their own mobile wallet initiatives or partnering with others, and seeks clarity.

    E-BOOK mobile payments Why the payment landscape is undergoing fundamental change E-BOOK MOBILE PAYMENTS Within the context of digitalization and the technological change, and the entry of the heavyweights into the mobile payment market, the development of pay- ments via smart phone is gaining momentum. Take the CHANCE! 2 E-BOOK MOBILE PAYMENTS Cash was yesterday! The mobile payment systems of Amazon, Apple, Google and many other providers promise consider- able simplification of the payment process. It is therefore clear the mobile payment will gain market shares and the physical wallet will see a slow decline. Jan Florian Richard from Arvato Financial Solutions explains the perspectives of mobile payment and introduces the most important players. 3 E-BOOK MOBILE PAYMENTS “There are still concerning’s with mobile payment“ Where there were previously some big question marks, it is now slowly becoming clear: Mobile payment in places like super- markets is permanently increasing. The relevant studies may be contradicting each other to some extent, but there is a clear trend towards the increasing acceptance of mobile payment. The user figures are nevertheless coming from a low level and security concerns above all as well as a lack of awareness are keeping the majority of consumers from using mobile payment. In Germany especially, we have the traditional great affinity with cash, and many people seem to still be unaware of the topic. So at the end of 2018, the EHI Retail Institute published a survey, which showed that 60 percent of respondents had even heard of mobile payment. And even this group is dominated by the doubters, whereby almost two thirds consider the process to be intransparent and insecure.
