Greetings!
We all are well aware that the mobile devices are very convenient and cost effective medium for online transactions.
To enable its growth, financial regulators are not only encouraging the use of this medium, but are also allowing increasingly higher quantum of monetary values that can be transacted - be it for mobile banking or securities mobile trading.
However serious security challenges - namely phishing, pharming and identity theft frauds remain [not to mention more advanced frauds like cross-channel frauds, multi-dimension frauds, multi-vector frauds, MITM attack etc.
One could argue that smart mobile phones are nothing but PCs in a different form factor - or one could go a step further and say that wireless devices require even stronger security than the desktop PCs.
And, while you must use security certificate and encryption - this only provides the security at the "transport layer".
At the very least, your two biggest challenges in mobile environment at the "application layer" will be identity theft frauds and phishing/ pharming. While stronger user authentication [2FA] will help you address identity theft issues, you would still be exposed to the biggest of them all - phishing and pharming.
And if you were to use the traditional hardware token based 2FA, you will also have to additionally tackle issues like high cost of hardware tokens, operational cost of managing time-synchronized server infrastructure, and inconvenience of carrying the hardware tokens.
In a world, where more people are opting for more types and number of accounts with more banks and securities houses, and becoming more mobile, it is not practical for them to carry all these hardware tokens all the time - we therefore feel days of hardware tokens are numbered - if not over already. User surveys are increasingly indicating that OTP generating hardware tokens are becoming counter productive - limiting the use of online transactions.
