Analysis and Design of Browser for Secure Mobile Payments A Summer Internship Project Report On Analysis and Design of Browser for secure mobile payments Carried out at the Institute of Development and Research in Banking Technology During 20th May – 20th July 2014 Submitted by: SUHANI GARG Integrated M.Tech 3rd Year Mathematics and Computing 11412EN005 IIT-BHU (Varanasi) Under the Guidance of Dr. V.N.Sastry Professor IDRBT, Hyderabad Date of Submission: 18th July 2014 1 ABSTRACT Mobile banking is easy, saves a lot of effort and time. Losses attributed to financial fraud are alarming. Mobile banking via a mobile browser is similar to home banking. Browsing-based threats for smartphones are just the same as those for computers which mean mobile security is just as important as PC security. Apart from various browsers available in market, there are several proxies which infect web browser by taking advantage of vulnerabilities in browser security, thereby modifying ones transactions and web pages content. Authentication is a technique to identify a person’s identity. Transaction authentication includes id and password, IP address, geolocation, computer hardware, time of day and previous user pattern of behaviour. Geolocation authentication is an important type of transaction authentication. The aim of the project is to make a comparative analysis of the various desktop and mobile browsers available in the market, study their features and to develop a new secure mobile browser especially for banks including a new way of authentication which includes security of mobile transactions. So, in addition to id and password, geolocation tells banks from which place transaction are going to take place. Hence, it helps banks to provide secure transactions. 2 CERTIFICATE This is to certify that the summer internship project report entitled “Analysis and Design of Browser for Secure Mobile Payments” submitted by SUHANI GARG, I.M.D.(MnC) 3rd Year, IIT-BHU(Varanasi) to Institute for Development and Research in Banking Technology (IDRBT), Hyderabad is a record of bonafide work carried out by her under my supervision and guidance during 20th May 2014 to 18th July 2014.

Conclusions and Future Work References 7 Chapter 1 : Introduction In this chapter, basics about websites, their features, various types of websites available. Browser and their distinguishing features, list of some browsers are presented. Then it describes about various protocols and its layers, authentication and different types of authentication available. Lastly, the various common web development tools i.e. advantages of using HTML, HTML5 and XML are presented. 1.1 Websites Website is the very first thing that we see in a browser. A website is set of web pages hosted on at least one web server. It is accessible via an Internet or local area network through Uniform resource locator. There are various characteristics to make an effective website. 1. Appearance :- A site must be polished, visually appealing and professional outlook. Some guidelines to improve this are meaningful graphics, good use of colour, text easily readable, simplicity and quality photography. 2. Content :- A good site should have relevant and informative substance. Some guidelines to improve this are short and organized copy, speak to visitors, update content regularly, unique content and consider a professional to write and edit. 3. Functionality :- Every component of a website should work correctly and quickly. For this, it should be error free copy. 4. Usability :- Site must be easy to read, understand and navigate. Some guidelines to improve this are fast loading pages, minimal scroll, consistent layout, simplicity, cross platform / browser compatibility and screen resolution. 5. Search Engine Optimized 6. User Friendly 7. Mobile Dominated Web 8. Get on Board with Social Media There are various different types of websites. Some of them are :- 1. Personal websites 2. Writers and Authors websites 3. Photo Sharing websites 4. Community building websites 5. Mobile device websites 6. Blogging websites 7. Directory websites 8. Online Business Brochure/ Catalog websites 9. Informational websites 10. E-Commerce websites 8 1.2 Browsers A web browser is an interface that allows a computer user to gain access to all content that is on Internet as well as hard disk of computer. It allows us to access web pages, images, audio and video files, text documents, etc. We can install multiple browsers in computer. Browsers are developed to access information on World Wide Web. The distinguishing areas of browsers are: Platform : Windows, Mac, BSD, Linux and other Unix Protocols: FTP, SFTP, SAMBA, HTTP, IMAP, etc. Layout Engine: Amaya, Gecko, Trident, KHTML, WebKit Graphical User Interface (GUI) Proprietary HTML5 Support Open Source Mobile Compatibility Some features offered by web browsers include downloads, bookmarks, search engine toolbars password management, spell checking, tabbed browsing, HTML access keys, advertisement filtering and pop-up blocking. Some important web browsers are listed below: Table : Various desktop browsers Browser Release Latest Version Creator URL Year Internet Aug,1995 11.0.9 Microsoft http://microsoft.com/ie Explorer Mozilla Nov,2004 30.0 Mozilla http://mozilla.org/firefox Firefox Google Sep,2008 35.0.1916.153 Google http://www.google.com/chrome Chrome Safari Jan,2003 7.0.5 Apple http://apple.com/safari Netscape Dec,1994 8.1.3.

Internet protocols include TCP/IP (Transfer Control Protocol/ Internet Protocol), FTP (File Transfer Protocol), HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) and SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol). World’s most famous protocol is internet protocol based on open system, suited for LAN and WAN communications and can communicate to any set of interconnected networks. The two best known are Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and the Internet Protocol (IP).Internet Protocol Suite provides abstraction of protocols using encapsulation. The four layers are: Application Layer : FTP, DNS, HTTP, SMTP, SNMP, SSH, NTP, SOCKS, SSL, Telnet and more Transport Layer : TCP, UDP, SCTP, RSVP, DCCP and more Internet Layer : IP (IPv4, IPv6), IPsec, ICMP, ECN, ICMPv6 and more Link Layer : DSL, PPP, NDP, ARP and more Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) is the current-generation Internet Protocol version designated as the successor to IPv4. IPv6 addresses typically have two parts: a 64-bit network prefix and a 64-bit host address. The IPv6 addressing structure uses hexadecimal notation, normally written as eight groups of four hexadecimal digits, and colons replace the periods used in IPv4. IPv6 has four address types: unicast (one-to-one), anycast (one-to-nearest), multicast (one-to-many), and a reserved class. IPv6 does not support broadcasting. IPv6 runs well in high-performance networks, such as Gigabit Ethernet and ATM networks, and it is also efficient for low- bandwidth networks such as wireless networks. IPv6 offers better security mechanisms, mandating the use of IPsec and IKE. The motivations to bring IPv6 version are fast growing internet and large address space, to provide security feature which is vulnerable as data on internet, to make data prioritization up to date and to make device to have globally unique IP address.

  • Effects and Opportunities of Native Code Extensions For
    Effects and Opportunities of Native Code Extensions for Computationally Demanding Web Applications DISSERTATION zur Erlangung des akademischen Grades Dr. Phil. im Fach Bibliotheks- und Informationswissenschaft eingereicht an der Philosophischen Fakultät I Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin von Dipl. Inform. Dennis Jarosch Präsident der Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin: Prof. Dr. Jan-Hendrik Olbertz Dekan der Philosophischen Fakultät I: Prof. Michael Seadle, Ph.D. Gutachter: 1. Prof. Dr. Robert Funk 2. Prof. Michael Seadle, Ph.D. eingereicht am: 28.10.2011 Tag der mündlichen Prüfung: 16.12.2011 Abstract The World Wide Web is amidst a transition from interactive websites to web applications. An increasing number of users perform their daily computing tasks entirely within the web browser — turning the Web into an important platform for application development. The Web as a platform, however, lacks the computational performance of native applications. This problem has motivated the inception of Microsoft Xax and Google Native Client (NaCl), two independent projects that fa- cilitate the development of native web applications. Native web applications allow the extension of conventional web applications with compiled native code, while maintaining operating system portability. This dissertation determines the bene- fits and drawbacks of native web applications. It also addresses the question how the performance of JavaScript web applications compares to that of native appli- cations and native web applications. Four application benchmarks are introduced that focus on different performance aspects: number crunching (serial and parallel), 3D graphics performance, and data processing. A performance analysis is under- taken in order to determine and compare the performance characteristics of native C applications, JavaScript web applications, and NaCl native web applications.

  • Introducing 2D Game Engine Development with Javascript
    CHAPTER 1 Introducing 2D Game Engine Development with JavaScript Video games are complex, interactive, multimedia software systems. These systems must, in real time, process player input, simulate the interactions of semi-autonomous objects, and generate high-fidelity graphics and audio outputs, all while trying to engage the players. Attempts at building video games can quickly be overwhelmed by the need to be well versed in software development as well as in how to create appealing player experiences. The first challenge can be alleviated with a software library, or game engine, that contains a coherent collection of utilities and objects designed specifically for developing video games. The player engagement goal is typically achieved through careful gameplay design and fine-tuning throughout the video game development process. This book is about the design and development of a game engine; it will focus on implementing and hiding the mundane operations and supporting complex simulations. Through the projects in this book, you will build a practical game engine for developing video games that are accessible across the Internet. A game engine relieves the game developers from simple routine tasks such as decoding specific key presses on the keyboard, designing complex algorithms for common operations such as mimicking shadows in a 2D world, and understanding nuances in implementations such as enforcing accuracy tolerance of a physics simulation. Commercial and well-established game engines such as Unity, Unreal Engine, and Panda3D present their systems through a graphical user interface (GUI). Not only does the friendly GUI simplify some of the tedious processes of game design such as creating and placing objects in a level, but more importantly, it ensures that these game engines are accessible to creative designers with diverse backgrounds who may find software development specifics distracting.

  • The GNOME Desktop Environment
    The GNOME desktop environment Miguel de Icaza ([email protected]) Instituto de Ciencias Nucleares, UNAM Elliot Lee ([email protected]) Federico Mena ([email protected]) Instituto de Ciencias Nucleares, UNAM Tom Tromey ([email protected]) April 27, 1998 Abstract We present an overview of the free GNU Network Object Model Environment (GNOME). GNOME is a suite of X11 GUI applications that provides joy to users and hackers alike. It has been designed for extensibility and automation by using CORBA and scripting languages throughout the code. GNOME is licensed under the terms of the GNU GPL and the GNU LGPL and has been developed on the Internet by a loosely-coupled team of programmers. 1 Motivation Free operating systems1 are excellent at providing server-class services, and so are often the ideal choice for a server machine. However, the lack of a consistent user interface and of consumer-targeted applications has prevented free operating systems from reaching the vast majority of users — the desktop users. As such, the benefits of free software have only been enjoyed by the technically savvy computer user community. Most users are still locked into proprietary solutions for their desktop environments. By using GNOME, free operating systems will have a complete, user-friendly desktop which will provide users with powerful and easy-to-use graphical applications. Many people have suggested that the cause for the lack of free user-oriented appli- cations is that these do not provide enough excitement to hackers, as opposed to system- level programming. Since most of the GNOME code had to be written by hackers, we kept them happy: the magic recipe here is to design GNOME around an adrenaline response by trying to use exciting models and ideas in the applications.
