Mobile phone devices and memory card can be robbed and lost due to the carelessness that might be caused to leak personal information, and also company's confidential information can be disclosed. Therefore, the importance of user authentication to protect personal information is increasing exponentially. However, there are the limitations that criminals could easily obtain and abuse information about individuals, because the input method of personal identification number or the input method of password might not be safe for Shoulder Surfing Attack(SSA). Although various biometric identification methods were suggested to obstruct the SSA, it is the fact that they also have some faults due to the inconvenience to use in mobile environments. In this study, more complemented service for the user authentication was proposed by applying Keystroke method in the mobile environments to make up for the faults of existing biometric identification method. Lastly, the effectiveness and validity of this study were confirmed through experimental evaluations.

As the increase of transaction using mobile banking continues, threat to the mobile financial security is also increasing. Mobile banking service performs the financial transaction using the dedicate application which is made by financial corporation. It provides the same services as the internet banking service. Personal information such as credit card number, which is stored in the mobile banking application can be used to the additional attack caused by a malicious attack or the loss of the mobile devices. Therefore, in this paper, to cope with the mobile financial accident caused by personal information exposure, we suggest outlier detection method which can judge whether the transaction is conducted by the appropriate user or not. This detection method utilizes the user's input patterns and transaction patterns when a user uses the banking service on the mobile devices. User's input and transaction pattern data involves the information which can be used to discern a certain user. Thus, if these data are utilized appropriately, they can be the information to distinguish abnormal transaction from the transaction done by the appropriate user. In this paper, we collect the data of user's input patterns on a smart phone for the experiment. And we use the experiment data which domestic financial corporation uses to detect outlier as the data of transaction pattern. We verify that our proposal can detect the abnormal transaction efficiently, as a result of detection experiment based on the collected input and transaction pattern data.
