Abstract

In recent years, with the rapid development of mobile Internet technology, and the increasing popularity of mobile payment, the security of mobile payment terminal is becoming more and more significant. Even if mobile payment has gained popularity worldwide due to its convenience, it is also facing many threats and security challenges. This paper is targeted at mobile payment security on Android platforms. In detail, we first introduce the current development of mobile payment application, and then we analyze two main threats of mobile payment security, namely near-field payment security and remote payment security. We also focus on phishing attacks on mobile platforms, by analyzing the behavior, characteristics, common techniques and attack methods of these attacks. Finally, we develop a defense strategy based on monitoring running applications, aimed at alerting users when malicious applications are leaking payment information, and we test the feasibility of this strategy on a dataset of Alipay application.
