Study Notes

Security Measures in Electronic Banking

  • Authentication verifies user identities to ensure they are who they claim to be
  • Authorization controls access to resources based on user identity and permissions
  • Authentication methods include:
    • Username and password
    • One-time passwords (OTPs)
    • Smart cards
    • Biometric authentication (e.g., fingerprint, facial recognition)

Encryption and Cryptography

  • Encryption protects data in transit by converting plaintext to ciphertext
  • Cryptography involves encrypting and decrypting data using algorithms and keys
  • Types of encryption include:
    • Symmetric encryption (e.g., AES)
    • Asymmetric encryption (e.g., RSA)
    • Hash functions (e.g., SHA-256)

Secure Socket Layer/Transport Layer Security (SSL/TLS)

  • SSL/TLS encrypts data in transit between clients and servers
  • HTTPS uses SSL/TLS with HTTP to secure web traffic
  • SSL/TLS versions include:
    • SSL 2.0 and 3.0 (deprecated)
    • TLS 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, and 1.3

Firewalls and Network Security

  • Firewalls control incoming and outgoing network traffic based on rules
  • Network segmentation divides networks into smaller, isolated zones
  • Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) and Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS) monitor network traffic for anomalies and malicious activity

Secure Electronic Transaction (SET) Protocol

  • SET is a protocol for secure online transactions
  • SET features include:
    • Authentication and authorization
    • Encryption and digital signatures
    • Payment processing and verification

Risk Management in Electronic Banking

Risk Management Process

  • Identify risks: Determine potential threats to electronic banking systems
  • Assess risks: Evaluate the likelihood and impact of identified risks
  • Prioritize risks: Focus on high-impact, high-likelihood risks
  • Mitigate risks: Implement controls and countermeasures to reduce risk
  • Monitor and review: Continuously monitor and review risk management process

Risk Assessment Techniques

  • Qualitative risk assessment: Subjective evaluation of risk based on expert judgment
  • Quantitative risk assessment: Objective evaluation of risk using numerical data
  • Hybrid approach: Combines qualitative and quantitative techniques

Risk Mitigation Strategies

  • Deterrents: Implement security measures to prevent attacks (e.g., firewalls, access controls)
  • Detectives: Implement monitoring and detection mechanisms to identify attacks (e.g., intrusion detection systems)
  • Correctives: Implement incident response plans to respond to attacks (e.g., disaster recovery plans)

Risk Management Frameworks

  • NIST Cybersecurity Framework: Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, Recover
  • ISO 27001: Plan, Do, Check, Act (PDCA) cycle for information security management

Challenges in Electronic Banking Risk Management

  • Regulatory compliance: Adhering to multiple regulations and standards
  • Technological advancements: Keeping pace with emerging technologies and threats
  • Human factors: Addressing user errors and social engineering attacks
