    Jerome Svigals

    Mr Svigals was a senior manager in IBM product development. He led the IBM team that developed the first international-standard magnetic-striped cards and tickets and architected their identification and authorization system design, now carried into smart devices. Since leaving IBM, he has contributed to five US patents. Patent 5,806,045 of 9/8/98 is considered the definitive patent for loyalty/incentive systems. More recently, he has obtained four US patents (8,453,223 dated 5/28/13; 8,806,603 dated 8/12/14; 8,997,188 dated 3/31/15; and 9,009,807 dated 4/14/15).

      Secure Your Internet Use - Jerome Svigals

      Executive Summary

      Purpose: Provide a summary of this Book.

      This report is intended to help you understand the use of Smart Devices, e.g. Smartphones, on the Internet in preparing for Securing Your Internet Use. It is intended to introduce you to the Internet and its role, in the Internet based transactions and Internet of Things era.

      The Internet

      The Internet allows access from more points, more quickly and more easily than any other network in the history of networks. Thus, along with its new facilities comes new and serious security exposures. Since there is no central authority dealing with these security exposures, the users must insure that they are protecting Internet plans and banking activity programs. Their actions must protect your Internet plans and programs. There are security tools to protect your Internet actions. Your goal must be to use them effectively.

      Card and Check Migration

      Physical check entry to the bank disappeared with the advent of check image capture in ATM’s, cell phones and Smartphones. However, the real test is the process by which the individual originates a check-like based payment. The payment needs to identify the payer and the payee. Where bills are being paid, the payee is identified by the demand for payment. The optical image feature of the Smartphone can be used to capture that data just as it is used to capture check images for processing.

      The Plastic Card Equivalent Transaction

      Use of the mobile banking device as a magnetic striped card equivalent signal source requires a wireless transmission from the mobile banking device to the signal accepting unit. A NFC, (Near Field Communications) signal is emitted by the mobile banking device. The mobile banking device displays multiple striped card equivalent type designations. A record is captured in the mobile banking unit for later reference, if needed. The acceptance device processes the card-like transaction into the banking system. The variable amount of the transaction is added to the signal transmitted in the NFC signal to the accepting device. The complete transaction data is then processed by the banking system.

      Smartphone and Cloud Computing

      Smartphone based Cloud computing is the delivery of common Smartphone based bank transaction business computer applications from a remote facility, online, through the Internet. These Smartphone based applications are accessed with a Web Browser. It uses software and data stored on servers (computer subsystems). The bank Cloud user rents a portion of the Cloud infrastructure from a third party. These Smartphone based Cloud processes reduce cost to the bank by sharing the Cloud computer power and resources. The bank does not have to provide added capacities for peak loads. The user must be concerned about the security of Cloud stored information and its protection.

      Bank Organization of 2020

      The primary, government-licensed, bank functional units (teller, loan and payments) will be the same in 2020. The primary changes of 2020 will be in the implementation of each transaction. The former implementation with paper based, manual processing and local handling will be replaced. They will be replaced by Smartphone based electronic paper, transaction processing and remote Internet based processing. This will be achieved by the use of mobile transaction devices, use of the world wide Internet, and electronic logic implementation smart devices.

      Internet Bank Accounts and Transactions

      The all electronic bank of year 2020 will use the Internet to provide bank account records, access and all branch type functions and transactions for customers using the Internet. Smartphone based access to the 2020 bank, with all electronic accounts, will start with the URL (Internet address) of the Web page assigned to each customer’s account. An explicit URL will be a unique Web page address for each customer’s bank account. The customer’s Web page, in turn, will provide direct access to all bank relations for that customer.

      What is a Smartphone?

      The simple, hand held, portable telephone has evolved into a hand held computer, Internet based, and providing phone functions. It is the result of decades of electronic component functional growth and physical size reduction. The simple, hand-held, portable telephone has evolved to a compact, fist-sized, computer capable of 95% of the function of your desk top computer. Its portability reaches any place you can contact cellular phone electromagnetic signals. Its computational ability exercises any programmable computer application within the capability of its operational program system. In other words, the room full of computers in past decades now operate efficiently in your palm as a Smartphone. Furthermore, it has a full display, a keyboard, an operating system and communications
