SECURITY BASED MOBILE BANK TRANSACTIONS IN CLOUD COMPUTING USING KERBEROS KEY EXCHANGE METHOD

摘要

Mobile transaction are a new and alternative method. Instead of using traditional methods like cash, cheque, or credit cards, a customer can use a mobile phone to transfer money or for goods and services. Mobile payments have numerous advantages over traditional payment methods. Apart from these apparent flexibility, they enable consumers, who do not have easy access to banking facilities to participate readily in financial transactions. Unfortunately, existing mobile transaction solutions are not secure and as well as interoperable. They only offer services for merchants registered with them and do not allow the transfer of money to, or between, users of other payment providers. This limitation reduces the widespread adoption of mobile transactions. In this paper, we propose new secure mobile transaction architecture using Kerberos technique security and mobile Cloud computing to provide interoperability by solving the problem of departments segmentation during mobile transaction. Securing transaction by avoiding masquerade attack while accessing the bank account and to realize barrier - free communication and integration of mobile payment industrial Chains, to cut down customer attrition cause by low usability of mobile payment.
