Cyber Observers: Weakness - Weakness of Applications Must Be Closed Immediately

INDUSTRY.co.id - Jakarta - The rise of hacking on online payment systems, enterprise applications must improve their security system.

According to Cyber ​​Security Observer Pratama Persadha, the weaknesses in the application must be closed so the company can run the business sustainably. He suggested the application of encryption because it can prevent the occurrence of data theft, data manipulation and especially the fictitious order due to hacking.

Encryption can be combined with iris scanner authentication technology, even more extreme fingerprints with digital signatures. Each data traffic requires additional authentication or approval with the above system.

"Encryption is applied to the entire system, either on the server, or in driver and passenger applications. For authentication drivers this can also be used to keep their balances safe, "said Pratama in Jakarta, Tuesday (5/6/2018)

While the best way to avoid Fake GPS, Primary added, is to build an application using HAL (Hardware Abstraction Layer). With this approach, direct GPS hardware communicates with "APPS". Examples of applications that use HAL are WeChat for State security reasons (China).

Another way is to build your own GPS app, plus encryption as a security. For example, the GPS X (homemade) application encrypts before sending information to the driver and passenger applications.

Driver and passengers application are only able to receive the X GPS applications, so that the GPS fake can not be used. The encryption function here is to protect information from being manipulated.

Even if the application company is experiencing an obstacle to patching a security hole, the government is encouraged to intervene. "If necessary the government build its own GPS applications that can be used by all local developers, with anti-fake GPS feature," said Pratama.
