Research on the Safety Assessment of Identity Authentication in Mobile-Commerce System Based on Hierarchical Analysis Method

Security of identity authentication in mobile-commerce system is a very important task, and its safety assessment is especially complicated. The Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is an effective tool on transformation of question from half-qualitative and half-quantitative to quantitative. In this paper, applies AHP method to the safety assessment, establishes an index system according to the international standard of network security, constructs a hierarchy model, and establishes a judgment matrix. The method is proved to be feasible by the case study of the safety assessment of identity authentication in mobile- commerce in a special environment.
