Nigeria: Cyber Space Security vis a vis Computerisation, Miniaturisation and Location-Based AuthenticationAdeka, Muhammad I., Ngala, Mohammad J., Bin-Melha, Mohammed S., Ibrahim, Embarak M., Shepherd, Simon J., Elfergani, Issa T., Hussaini, Abubakar S., Elmegri, Fauzi, Abd-Alhameed, Raed 21 May 2015 (has links)
No / The degree of insecurity occasioned by fraudulent practices in
Nigeria has been of great concern economically, especially as it relates to
overseas transactions. This paper was designed to mitigate this problem for
Nigeria and countries with similar dispositions. Based on a survey involving
field trip to Nigeria, the paper examines the general security situation in
Nigeria and its mutual impacts with computerisation, miniaturisation and
Location-Based Authentication (LBA). It was discovered that both
computerisation and miniaturisation had some negative effects on cybersecurity,
as these were being exploited by fraudsters, especially using
‘advance fee fraud;’ popularly called 419. As a countermeasure, the research
examined the possibility of using LBA and further digitisation of the GSM
Mobile country codes down to City/Area codes along with GSM
Mobile/Global Positioning System (GPS) authentications. Where necessary,
these could be combined with the use of a web-based Secret Sharing Scheme
for services with very high security demands. The anticipated challenges were
also examined and considered to be of negligible impacts; especially roaming. / Petroleum Technology Development Fund (PTDF)

Africa: cyber-security and its mutual impacts with computerisation, miniaturisation and location-based authenticationAdeka, Muhammad I., Anoh, Kelvin O.O., Ngala, Mohammad J., Shepherd, Simon J., Ibrahim, Embarak M., Elfergani, Issa T., Hussaini, A., Rodriguez, Jonathan, Abd-Alhameed, Raed January 2017 (has links)
Yes / The state of insecurity occasioned by fraudulent practices in Africa has been of concern economically, both at home and abroad. In this paper, we propose ways to mitigate this problem, using Nigeria as a case study. Based on surveys in West Africa, the paper examines the security situation in the continent and its mutual impacts with computerisation, miniaturisation and Location-Based Authentication (LBA). It was discovered that computerisation and miniaturisation had negative effects on cyber-security, as these were being exploited by fraudsters, using advance fee fraud; called 419. As a countermeasure, the paper examines the possibility of using LBA and digitisation of the GSM Mobile country codes down to city/area codes along with GSM/GPS authentications. These could also be combined with the use of a web-based Secret Sharing Scheme for services with very high security demands. The challenges of roaming were also examined and considered to be of negligible impact. / Petroleum Technology Development Fund (PTDF)

Advance fee fraudTanfa, Denis Yomi 31 March 2006 (has links)
The focus of this thesis is on Advance Fee Fraud (419 scams) on how it is executed and more importantly, on how it can be prevented. The research addresses the origins of AFF, the nature and extent of this crime and how the perpetrators are able to defraud their victims. The research described, examined and analysed the crimes, the perpetrators, the victims, adjudication and the prevention strategies of this fraud. Information was gathered through literature and empirical research. A qualitative research method was used to gather information from AFF offenders who were incarcerated in South African prisons in 2005. The results of the empirical research were carefully examined, analyzed and integrated into the various chapters of this thesis. A theoretical framework was also developed in an attempt to explain this complex phenomenon. The findings and recommendations in terms of the crimes, the criminals, the victims, adjudication and prevention were also made and some suggestions for further research thereof were also cited. / Criminology / D.
