Share trading on cellphones will boost the mobile security market as service providers gear up to provide data protection from hackers and viruses.
“The challenge in mobile trading will be to ensure data protection at the device level, server level and during a trading session,” Vishak Raman, regional director (India) of network security firm Fortinet, told The Telegraph.
Experts say the use of the digital signature will also be necessary to authenticate each transaction. A digital signature is the only legally valid certificate approved by the information technology act.
“Apart from antivirus and antispyware, data encryption levels over 128-bits will be required to ensure secure trading,” Raman said.
