$395.00 USD

This paper explains the industry security standards for mobile payment and security applications in simple, user-friendly terms and then analyzes 8 popular applications.  The analysis includes VeriFone’s Verishield Total Protect, Bump, FaceCash, the Starbucks mobile app, Square, as well as McAfee Enterprise Mobility Management and VirusScan Mobile, Norton Mobile Security, and Lookout Mobile Security. 

The paper reviews each payment application’s security system as well as what each security application protects against.  The paper identifies strengths and weaknesses of each application as well as an assessment of the effectiveness of the application by author Blattaria Ltd.  The analysis is not meant to be comprehensive, as new systems are being launched and updated all the time, but rather to serve as examples for the reader to ask similar questions about any system of interest. 

The analysis also includes an overview of PCI and PA-DSS security standards, including what types of companies are responsible for implementing each security requirement and when the requirements apply for mobile applications.
