E-banking Fat Client Security Analysis
The paper examines the security of e-banking fat client. Strong authentication built in fat client is not always applied to overall system. Fat clients store data locally, and that data might not be protected with the same strong authentication. It is possible to bypass such a fat client and access e-banking data stored locally directly, and in this way effectively reduce data security to the level of security provided for local storage. The paper suggests the use of cryptographic data storage. It would ensure overall security to be equal to the strong authentication required to use fat client.
