Abstract

Smartphones have deeply penetrated in modern lifestyle. Accordingly, usage has grown manifold in the area of social media, collaboration, and mobile-based payment. The security of smartphones is increasingly critical at the user end as well as at service provider's end due to the involvement of monetary payments and personal information. Despite using a smartphone for mobile payments, strong security measures have not been put into place by a majority of users, particularly those involved with electronic payments. This article is an attempt to identify threats applicable to smartphones and classify them based on a broader category of threats. Existing vulnerabilities have been explored. In the light of the digital India campaign, security preparedness among Indian users has been assessed by carrying out a survey that reveals a poor level of preparedness among mobile users. Finally, the authors have proposed a lotus diagram (LD)-based framework to mitigate threats that can negatively impact mobile-based payment. The proposed method will greatly help in strengthening security and mitigating the threats for the user.
