Abstract

This paper focuses on the improvement of mobile application security mechanism. Security problem of mobile application is a great challenge nowadays. This paper proposes a security model of mobile application which is based on Kerberos authentication. In this improved security model, every request from the client will be authenticated by the Kerberos server, but the authentication will be different between users with different access. And the classification of the users can be implemented by using different kinds of keys in the ticket-granting server.
