The Security of the Mobile Citizen Oriented Applications

The concept of citizen oriented informatics application is defined. The differences between these and the traditional applications are described. Structures of citizen oriented applications are presented. The development cycle of the citizen oriented applications is followed and foe each step, differences from the traditional development cycle of the applications are underlined. The security requirements of the citizen oriented applications are discussed. Vulnerabilities of the applications are described. Ways of dealing with vulnerabilities are discussed. The limitations of the mobile devices are highlighted. The authentication process and the automation of it are taken into discussion. An authentication method based on gestures recorded from accelerometer sensor data is proposed as simple and effective way for accessing application resources
