A conceptual approach to information security in financial account aggregation

Published: 25 March 2004 Publication History

Abstract

An important dimension of mobile computing is the ubiquitous and location-independent availability of data. Aggregation is the ability to electronically access and display personal account information from disparate sources through a single identity. The client financial data is assembled in an organized format providing meaningful summarization and analysis. The prevalent methods of aggregation pose issues in information security and assurance. Utilizing advances in Internet technology such as web services and SOAP coupled with the best of the present approaches to aggregation we can arrive at better solutions to securing the identity and data of aggregation customers. The paper puts forth conceptual solutions to address issues regarding security of user profile and identifying aggregators masquerading as users through processes such as screen scraping.
