This book was released on 2016-08-17 with total page 43 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Master's Thesis from the year 2015 in the subject Computer Science - Internet, New Technologies, Royal Holloway, University of London, course: Msc Information Security, language: English, abstract: NFC technology is considered extremely secure for communication and the number of phones that can support NFC is also at a rise. The technology is gaining worldwide recognition and as it is easy to implement and since it is really economical numerous applications are using it. Most of NFC applications involve the usage of tags, which can easily be duplicated or can be replaced by a fake one. Therefore, though the technology is so useful and secure, this weakness makes it vulnerable to certain attacks. NFC has numerous applications but in this thesis, I will be discussing various security threats related to NFC applications involving NFC tag and an NFC enabled smartphone, for example smart posters. This thesis will evaluate various security threats like phishing, exposure to adult content etc., what they are and how an attacker can carry out these attacks. Further discussion will be on what an artificial neural network (ANN) is and how it can be used to eliminate these threats. The thesis also proposes a security model that will use ANN, to provide security against threats and will also provide user confidentiality, anonymity and privacy, and a category classifier to increase the overall efficiency of the model and to decrease the memory usage, and will also provide users with an added feature of personalizing their security according to their requirements.

Download or read book Security and Privacy Issues in Near Field Communication NFC Systems written by Hammad Kazmi and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2012-04 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Near Field Communication (NFC) technology will be the next vital enhancement to your cell phone. Today cell phone is used for internet surfing, mobile banking, entertainment and lot more. NFC will enhance the current functionalities in more advanced form. Its touch and go principle will ease the people s life. Our study shows that as this technology grows more and more in daily life applications it will help intruder to enter in your personal life hitting the personal privacy. However there are different aspects of looking at the security and privacy issues of such devices. We have thrown light on different aspects and implementation of NFC technology. In case of using strong asymmetric cryptography for secure communication will definitely increase the transaction time. So Elliptic curve cryptography could be a choice in this situation. Loosing the NFC device in such a condition that when you have all your home/car keys debit/credits cards in it will point to single point of failure. Embedding NFC technology with low powered devices will result in single point of failure in case of power failure. NFC devices will help intruder to pin point your location due to tractability feature.

Download or read book Mobile Applications written by Tejinder S. Randhawa and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-08-17 with total page 669 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using Android as a reference, this book teaches the development of mobile apps designed to be responsive, trustworthy and robust, and optimized for maintainability. As the share of mission-critical mobile apps continues to increase in the ever-expanding mobile app ecosystem, it has become imperative that processes and procedures to assure their reliance are developed and included in the software life cycle at opportune times. Memory, CPU, battery life and screen size limitations of smartphones coupled with volatility associated with mobile environments underlines that the quality assurance strategies that proved to be successful for desktop applications may no longer be effective in mobile apps. To that effect, this book lays a foundation upon which quality assurance processes and procedures for mobile apps could be devised. This foundation is composed of analytical models, experimental test-beds and software solutions. Analytical models proposed in the literature to predict software quality are studied and adapted for mobile apps. The efficacy of these analytical models in prejudging the operations of mobile apps under design and development is evaluated. A comprehensive test suite is presented that empirically assesses a mobile app’s compliance to its quality expectations. Test procedures to measure quality attributes such as maintainability, usability, performance, scalability, reliability, availability and security, are detailed. Utilization of test tools provided in Android Studio as well as third-party vendors in constructing the corresponding test-beds is highlighted. An in-depth exploration of utilities, services and frameworks available on Android is conducted, and the results of their parametrization observed through experimentation to construct quality assurance solutions are presented. Experimental development of some example mobile apps is conducted to gauge adoption of process models and determine favorable opportunities for integrating the quality assurance processes and procedures in the mobile app life cycle. The role of automation in testing, integration, deployment and configuration management is demonstrated to offset cost overheads of integrating quality assurance process in the life cycle of mobile apps.
