Project description
Payment methods on physical devices have been recently replaced by solutions running on smartphones that use wireless technologies (e.g., Bluetooth, NFC). Despite the benefits, mobile devices, particularly the Android ones, introduce security risks, when used to complete a payment, which have not been addressed by the Android Security community so far. The project focuses on this technology, which enables mobile devices to receive payments in contact/contactless mode, and aims to provide solutions to make it secure through: identification of vulnerabilities and implementation of attacks against Android devices enabled to receive payments via contact/contactless technology; development of defense mechanisms; security analysis of tax data management mechanisms on mobile technology; development of solutions for secure storage of tax data on mobile devices.
