| Summary: | 碩士 === 南台科技大學 === 資訊傳播系 === 101 === With technology development, the number of users of smart mobile devices has also grown steadily in recent years. This is mainly due to the convenience offered by smart mobile devices. SONY, Philips, and Nokia jointly developed the Near-Field Communication technology which is characterized by lower power consumption, connectivity with one device at a time, and higher confidentiality and security. This study used online game and Telecom Based Micropayment as examples to develop a two-factor authentication mechanism for mobile devices built with NFC functionality.
With the increasing popularity of online games, virtual goods in the games have gradually been given a value like physical goods. Many problems such as account fraud and thievery of virtual goods have therefore derived. In the present, many gaming companies have used two-factor authentication of user identity. Although such mechanism offers additional protection of user accounts, the verification is not user-friendly enough, and extra cost of the verification device may be incurred. This study proposed to integrate online gaming accounts and NFC Tags for two-factor authentication. Users only need to use their mobile device built with an NFC sensor to communicate with portable NFC Tags for server authentication. Later, they can input their account and password to log into the game.
Telecom Based Micropayment has become one of the dominant payment methods for online entertaining applications. Telecom Based Micropayment is quick and convenient, so frauds of virtual goods or gaming points may easily occur. The framework proposed in this study is a two-factor authentication mechanism for Telecom Based Micropayment based on NFC technology. In this framework, users use their mobile devices to scan NFC Tags for server authentication of online payment.
