Im thinking of subscribing mobile phone number along with a pin. eg Number 222-222-222 PIN 20029. So when the individual wants to enquire his balance, he sends a text messgae like Bal 20029 i.e. BAL PINNUMBER. The control here is that the sms and pin has to come from the subscribed number and only that number. I also want to be able to allow subscribers to tranfer funds to pre determined service providers such as utility companies etc. What are the risks around this application? How are such applications normally subverted? Are there any case studies someone can point me to? What are the various authentication methods as i appreciate mine can not be the best? Your help will be most appreciated.
