“…Thus, the evaluations of Information and service quality are determined by mobile app quality itself, whereas system quality has relevance to both mobile app and mobile service provider. Mobile apps require an access to the internet, and most users prefer wi-fi networks which are free to use (Park et al 2014). Most users of wireless networks know that the access of mobile apps using wi-fi doesn't guarantee the stable connection.…”

This study investigates consumer intentions within the smartphone app environment. More specifically, it studies the factors influencing the intention to use banking apps based on the smartphone by employing the information system success model and a revised technology acceptance model. The study examines how quality factors and attitudes toward mobile apps-based banking influence the intention to use banking apps, and whether trust influences the relationship between quality factors and intention to use. In it, we collect data from 520 users and estimate the structural model. The results indicate that attitudes to mobile appsbased banking, as well as information and service quality, affect consumers' intention to use banking apps. We further confirm that three particular quality factors, moderated by trust, affect the intention to use these apps. This study helps to explain consumers' mobile apps-based banking behaviours, by combining the information system success model with a technology acceptance model.

“…In order to sniff only network traffic generated by the examined applications and not by other services and programs running in the background, an separated hotspot was created in order to avoid interference from devices or applications on the same network. Similar to authors of previous works (Park, Choi, Eom, & Chung, 2014) in creating a hotspot in order to meet this very important pre requisite. The Asus Nexus 7 Google tablet was placed on a separate network established using Connectify (2016.0.3.36821 Pro) which allowed having a hotspot with specific IP addresses and this separated the Asus Nexus 7 Google tablet's IP address from the local network.…”

Mobile phones have been playing a very significant role in our daily activities for the last decade. With the increase need for these devices, people are now more reliant on their smartphone applications for their daily tasks and many prefer to save their mobile data on a cloud platform to access them anywhere on any device. Cloud technology is the new way for better data storage, as it offers better security, more flexibility, and mobility. Many smartphones have been investigated as subjects, objects or tools of the crime. Many of these investigations include analysing data stored through cloud storage apps which contributes to importance of cloud apps forensics on mobile devices. In this paper, various cloud Android applications are analysed using the forensics tool XRY and a forensics taxonomy for investigation of these apps is suggested. The proposed taxonomy reflects residual artefacts retrievable from 31 different cloud applications. It is expected that the proposed taxonomy and the forensic findings in this paper will assist future forensic investigations involving cloud based storage applications.

“…Extra steps are needed to ensure that the detection scheme works for both scenarios. Work [9] demonstrated how Android applications can be exploited using MITM attacks with DNS spoofing. It also pointed out various security holes in the Android security model.…”

“…Similarly, as in works [13,3,11,10,9] the main aim of this document is to raise awareness of the dangers of MITM attacks. We demonstrated the methods that could be used by attackers, and provided appropriate methods and things to consider in order to stay safe, and keep our information private.…”

Part 7: Various Aspects of Computer SecurityInternational audienceClients of public hotspots are exposed to various threats including a man–in–the–middle attacks. To stress existing threats we created the Evil-AP application for demonstrating a man–in–the–middle attack. The application, installed on an Android phone with root permissions, turns on hotspot services and performs network redirection. We tested as the proposed techniques can be used to eavesdrop, redirect, inject, and strip the Internet traffic. A mobility of the created solution together with the wide functionality creates an extremely dangerous tool. Therefore, we concluded our work with good practices that allow the users to avoid similar threats as described in our work
