Session 3: SECURITY OF CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE
Session Moderator: Ms Marian Gordon, Department of State, USA
Title of Presentation: Securing banking and financial systems

This report provides a summary on CFT’s 12-year experience in development of secured banking and financial applications. Issues observed:
  • Integrated multi-functional banking systems as a means of increasing security and efficiency of financial operations. Incorporating all applications in an integrated back-office core banking solution provides for centralized control of responsibility allocation and effective operations monitoring. 
  • Clients’ cryptographic authentication for direct client servicing and remote banking operations. For remote banking procedures, strong cryptographic algorithms are a standard. For direct client servicing, strong authentication helps to increase quality of service while slashing expenses, and provides protection against forgery or beach of bank secrecy.
  • Smart technology for fraud prevention in consumer payment systems. Credit card fraud results in billion dollar losses annually. Smart-card technology has proved to be the most effective method of fraud prevention. 
  • Safe mobile banking. Each GSM mobile has a SIM-card with security capabilities similar to those of a smart-card. These capabilities are effective for both mobile commerce and secure Internet-operations.
  • Public Key Infrastructure to guarantee security in financial networks. Our company’s practical experience of setting up a Certification Authority, development of a nation-wide interbank network of Registration Authorities, and development of PKI-based financial applications.

Financial services outsourcing as a way to slash costs and secure transactions. Modern standard-based security technologies can be used to safely process all kinds of typical retail or corporate banking transactions. Centralized capture and processing of critical information allows to provide high level of security in the system while keeping expenses reasonable. This approach works most effectively for nation-wide financial systems.
