Security testing framework for a novel mobile wallet ecosystem

Tasks related with payments, personal identification, and the usage of tickets and marketing items can be achieved through mobile wallets. Despite the advantages that these present, such as their ease of usage and great accessibility, some security concerns are still pointed out by consumers. On this paper are presented the main security issues existent on mobile wallet ecosystems nowadays, and the possible tests and security measures that can be adopted on those ecosystems. The tests that we describe on the paper are performed on a novel mobile wallet ecosystem named weWallet, and are segmented on three axes: mobile applications, cloud infrastructure, and physical communication technologies.
