Security Threats to the Platform Identification

Abstract

In this paper, we analyze security threats against the services that limits allowance only to the registered platforms for their users, of which core technology is called designated platform solution and it has been deployed in several critical services such as on-line banking, financial transactions and so on. In this paper, we classify potential security threats against this solution into four different areas, process, network layer, software module, and terminal environment. Then, we analyze the security threats by deriving the practical vulnerabilities in each area. The results from this work will be helpful for defining new criteria to improve the security level of the services based on the designated platform solution.
