Abstract:
Kenya being a leading mobile phone operator in Africa provides a suitable
platform of understanding security weaknesses in relation to terrorism and
financial frauds perpetrated through mobile phone technology. According to
[5]; origin and use of mobile money transfer make the country a suitable
case that can be replicated elsewhere in the world. It is worth noting that
growth of mobile money transfer has promoted business alongside creating
new employment opportunities in Kenya. However the growth of mobile
phone technology has had an equal share of problems; subsequently leading
to challenges of financial frauds, and terrorism activities. This paper addresses
a mechanism of safe mobile phone technology through enhanced biometrics
during financial transactions, SIM registration, and forensic audit trail in case
of a crime.
