Abstract

Mobile commerce has been booming rapidly partly due to advancement and sophistication of mobile technologies in recent years. Because of the highly vulnerability nature existing in wireless data communication, this further exacerbates the security problems inherited from electronic commerce. This paper gives a critical review of most common mobile security technologies with respect to possible loopholes and associated risks. Finally, some countermeasures are derived from the discussion of the above issues.
