8.1. Why is security an issue on imode?:

Mobile commerce (mcommerce) is conducted on imode including mobile banking and security trading, therefore security is a serious issue.

The security issues on imode are devided into different sectors:
(1) Security of the radio link between imode handset and the cellular base station (this link uses proprietary protocols and encoding controlled by NTT DoCoMo.
(2) Security of the transparent public internet connection between imode sites and the handset in the chtml layer.
(3) Security of private networks on imode.
(4) Security of private network links between the imode center and special service providers such as banks.
(5) Password security.

(6) Actions in case of loss, e.g. remote locking

(7) Access control, e.g. via passwords, finger print recognition etc
Each of these different security issues needs to be addressed separately.

 

8.3. Which security measures are implemented?

imode network and imode handsets are equipped for SSL (secure socket layer) encrypted transmission, and imode handsets have unique identifiers allowing similar security to be implemented as on the wired internet. Mobile banking on imode and corporate networks use SSL. In addition there are many other security measures, some are only implemented in specific handsets, e.g. face recognition or finger print recognition, or remote locking.
