ABSTRACT
This means that the security for mobile devices used for m-commerce must improve substantially. Authentication has been a major problem for some time in networking. Both sides of the connection must be authenticated as to who they say they are. The website must indicate their true validity (usually via a digital certificate (Symantec)). The customer must validate their credentials as well. This is often done by the customer logging in to their account on the website. After an account has been set up, the log-in procedure can be automated via software (app) so the username and password combination is automatically sent to the website when the customer uses a (mobile) device to access the website. Obviously, this convenience may be a problem if the mobile device is lost.
