726 THE ISSUE OF SECURITY IN ONLINE BANKING AND ITS PANACEA: AN EMPIRICAL EVALUATION
Online banking has given us almost everything we asked for as far as banking is concerned, and is still being revolutionized to offer more simplicity in our everyday banking experience. While the internet offers enormous advantages and opportunities, it also presents various security risks. With this in mind, banks take extensive steps to protect its customers and also information transmitted and processed when carrying out banking online. This includes, for example, ensuring that confidential data sent over the internet cannot be accessed or modified by unauthorized third parties. But the banks normally have no influence over the system used by their customers. The choice is entirely up to them. Moreover, the system selected – a personal computer (PC) connected to the internet, for example-will usually be used for a number of other applications as well. The systems used by online banking customers are therefore exposed to risks beyond the banks control. For this reason, the banks cannot assume liability for them. This paper will look into the main security challenges faced by Banks and its customers and in furtherance to that proffer solutions based on the data collected.
Securing Online Banking Services in an Insecure Environment
Abstract: This research, Securing Online Banking Services in an Insecure Environment sought to address security problems resulting from account credentials theft and all other forms of malicious activities surrounding online banking transactions. A new system implemented using JavaScript for securing online banking transaction has been provided in this research with the aim of increasing security over the existing models. The new system enables the customers and banks to authenticate each other and sign processed transactions online. From the results, the new framework also solves the issues of authentication, confidentiality, integrity and non-repudiation, using an integrated three-tier, trusted and secure channel. In addition to the creation of a secure channel between client’s computers and the bank’s server, a secure algorithm, challenge-Respond security algorithm that would be suitable for clients’ side security (web browser) was implemented. Thus, the secure three-tier transaction model was recommended for banking services as it was found to be suitable for building client trusts.

A Detailed Study of Electronic Banking Security Techniques and Safety Measures
International journal of innovative research and development, 2017
The banking system is one of the major aspects driving the economy of a country. Variety of the banking systems and operations has been the synergy that classifies the modern banking system. The bank houses one of the valuables, the "almighty money", the force that drives both the good and the bad conceptual ideologies of the world today. The might of money and what money can do has made its desire and demand second-to-none. Money is a deity that rules the world. Today, no money invariably means no nation, no man, so bad such that, some people exchange integrity, even life all to have money. Rubbers will bring down buildings, take away peoples' lives; do all forms of atrocities all for money. Politicians can run down a whole system just to embezzle public funds for personal sake. Worst is in the developing countries where the slogan for livelihood is "survival of the fittest", which implies the elimination of the unfit [iv]. The quest for money by all class of citizens has made money essential commodity such that, the legal means to acquire money has been bastardized. Today, you can rub, murder, steal, burgle, kidnap or commit fraud to get money. Based on this, wherever money is housed, is endangered, who ever owns much money and is publicly known is also at risk of those who will want to forcefully own the money. Because of the numerous problems associated with the safe keeping of money, monies are kept in strong rooms with maximum security, convey in a security tide van with adequate and well-equipped security men, and the amount of money own, accessed, deposited, withdrawn or transfer at any point in time by individuals or corporative is being regulated by money laundry policy nationally and internationally [xvi]. Statutorily, monies are kept in the bank for safe keeping, though; there are instances of breaking into banks and carting away with huge sum of money. This would have been worst if monies were kept by individuals at homes in large sum. The convenience of managing bank customers satisfactorily necessitated the introduction of electronic banking such as internet banking, mobile banking SMS banking, phone banking, etc. where the banking system is 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 4 weeks a month, and 12 months in the year at the customers convenient and disposal, provided he or she has the gadgets to effect same. Electronic banking has been integrated with evolving securities in accordance to evolution in knowledge, and technology, but still, fraudsters take advantage of the social engineering vulnerability, and the lack of trust and integrity of the bankers to defraud banks and bank customers through the electronic banking platform. For instance, the USA lost about $3.5 trillion daily through three payment network which dwarf the bank of New York's [ix]. In February, 2005, a Miami businessman sues his bank for the loss of $90,000, which was stolen from his online banking account by an unauthorized transaction. On investigation of the matter, it was discovered that the transaction was affected from his computer that was
Online Authentication Methods Used in Banks and Attacks Against These Methods
Procedia Computer Science, 2019
Growing threats and attacks to online banking security (e.g. phishing, identity theft) motivates most banks to look for and use stronger authentication methods instead of using a normal username and password authentication. The main objective of the research is to identify the most common online authentication methods used widely in international banks and compare it with the methods used in six banks operating in UAE. In addition, this research will cover the current authentication threats and attacks against these methods. Two well-defined comparison matrices [15], one based on characteristics and second one on attack vectors, will be used to examine and assess the authentication methods of those six banks. This paper is different than other studies and works since it will help to identify the common authentication methods used in banks operating in UAE. Moreover, the comparison matrices will help to examine those authentication methods, define their weaknesses, and evaluate them.

A Survey of Authentication and Communications Security in Online Banking
ACM Computing Surveys, 2017
A survey was conducted to provide a state of the art of online banking authentication and communications security implementations. Between global regions the applied (single or multifactor) authentication schemes differ greatly, as well as the security of SSL/TLS implementations. Three phases for online banking development are identified. It is predicted that mobile banking will enter a third phase, characterized by the use of standard web technologies to develop mobile banking applications for different platforms. This has the potential to make mobile banking a target for attacks in a similar manner that home banking currently is.

Enhanced Security Framework for Internet Banking Services
Journal of information technology and computing, 2021
This research, Enhanced Security Framework for Internet Banking Services is aimed at developing a suitable framework, a system based on consolidating two algorithms, improved RSA with LSB steganography capable of providing secure transmission of customer Internet banking credentials as this is imperative since the online transactions are carried out using public networks that are vulnerable to varying forms of cyber threats and attacks on data confidentiality, integrity and authenticity. In conducting this research, a thorough analysis of the existing banking system used by most banks such as First bank, Stanbic IBTC and UBA, the FINACLE 10.8 and intellect(TM) PRIVACY security system used by POLARIS bank was carried out in order to ascertain the existing security features while at the same time, reviewing the existing, current Internet banking security models in a bid to concretely establish the gaps filled by this research. The data gathered for this research were collected using the key informant interview method (KIIM), visiting banks IT unit and observation of operational procedures and other technicalities as regards Internet security. Lecture notes, newsletters and journal articles relating to Internet banking security were thoroughly reviewed. It was however found that the existing applications were unable to stop offline credential stealing attacks, were also vulnerable to malicious attacks when credentials are stored on customer PCs. Hence, the use of steganography in this research to consolidate cryptographic algorithms (beginning from the use of PKI-cards on card readers). In building the system, the OOAD approach was used with tools such as Class Diagram, Sequence Diagram, DFDs, and UML use cases to capture the system functionalities in a bid to come up with a successful design. MATLAB R2015a was used to process images imported from JAVA platform and analysis carried out on five (5) standard gray USC-SIPI images of size 512 × 512tiff formats as data sets selected to conceal customer data after encryption by the RSA technique yielding very high PSNR and very low MSE values as required for a secure credential transmission.

E-Banking Security Study—10 Years Later
IEEE Access
ICT security in the banking area is going through rapid changes. It is ten years since we covered the state of e-banking security, and both authentication schemes and legislation has evolved. With the Payment Services Directive (PSD2) for European Union coming into force, we believe it is a good time to update our findings. PSD2 brings new requirements for multi-factor authentication, thus it is necessary to revise compliance of currently used schemes. This work's main contribution is an overview of current authentication methods, their properties with respect to international standards, and their resistance against attacks. We further discuss the multi-factor authentication schemes composed of those methods and their compliance with the PSD2 requirements. In order to present the overview, we introduced the e-banking attacks taxonomy, which is compatible with authenticator threats from NIST Digital Identity Guidelines but has an increased level of detail with respect to the e-banking area. The available sources in this area are usually either very broad, targeted on the business executive, or focus on one particular issue or attack in greater detail. We believe our article can bridge such diverse sources by providing a comprehensive and complex tool to help with orientation in the area.

Received Mar 10, 2020 Revised May 11, 2020 Accepted May 25, 2020 Online banking and other e-banking modes are a very convenient way to banking in terms of speed, convenience and delivery costs, but they have brought many risks alongside them. Online banking has created a new risk orientation and even new forms of risk. Technology plays an important role as both a source and a tool for risk control. The purpose of this research is to identify the security situation of the e-banking application and to analyze the risks and attacks that could occur to the customers that, although it’s an ebanking application attacks could happen. Several mitigations were mentioned to overcome attacks like, access control is to mitigate eavesdropping this means that, restricting access to sensitive data is mandatory. Another way to mitigate is, update and patch which is for SQL injection meaning, it's vital to apply patches and updates when it’s available. These attacks may attack the whole applicat...
