Security For Mobile Commerce Applications
Abstract: - This paper describes security mechanisms necessary to make mobile commerce applications
secure. An analysis of existing security functions in today’s mobile networks shows that a number of attacks
on these mechanisms are possible, which in the end could lead to fraudulent mobile commerce transactions
and loss of consumer trust into new mobile services. As an alternative a basic security architecture for mobile
networks is proposed, which eliminates the existing flaws and thus could build the basis for the development
of secure mobile commerce applications.
