Hey Everyone!
A
group of researchers at the "Georgia Institute of Technology" in the
United States published a report confirming the lack of web browsers on
mobile phones to safety because there are many gaps.The
assistant professor in the School of Computer Science at the Georgia
Institute of Technology, Patrick Traynor, they found many of the gaps in
the 10 Web browsers on mobile phones they tested, it is stated that
these browsers are more than 90% of the browsers used in the United
States of America.
Traynor said, pressing question these browsers in terms of design with the help
of information security experts by providing them with adequate
information to determine whether they were able to fend off electrinics
attacks, but the answer they got with ten browsers that have been
tested, is "no."The
reason, according to experts, to the lack of those browsers to icons
and indicators of the security protocols used by these browsers, as the
Secure Socket Layer protocol "SSL" Safe Transport Layer Protocol "TLS".In
contrast, the icons helps and cursors users browsers on personal computers
to know whether the site that they visit safe or not, for example, if it
appears at the beginning of Website protocol "HTTPS" and Lock Closed icons, this means that the site is secure and the user can be assured and
conduct financial transactions.The
report pointed out that the developers browsers on mobile phones face a
challenge in establishing browsers enjoy a good browsing experience
with the limited space available on those devices, for a relatively wide
area and available on personal computers.Traynor
urged developers to find the best way and the smart application of
security protocols on mobile browsers to reassure users, with little
coordination everyone can surf the Internet via mobile phones safely,
according to Traynor.
