Securing Mobile Services

With e-Government applications, such as public information services that allow e-Citizens to request message reminders about hospital services, national car test examinations and driving test examinations, being extended onto the mobile platform, there are new challenges to securing these services. The reliability of operations and reduction in the vulnerability of large and critical infrastructures, such as the communication methods and means, and information and communication systems pertaining to these infrastructures, is critical. This is especially true considering individuals' freedom and protection of their computerised identity and privacy and for the public body providing these services.
