Scenario: You are the IT Manager for a fictitious bank called First Union Bank. Your management team has asked you to implement a new project to provide Mobile Banking services and a new Mobile Banking application via smartphones for bank customers. The project has an aggressive timeline of 90 days, and must be approved by the VP of Client Services, the CIO, and the Senior VP of Operations. Here are some of the core requirements:

• The bank users must be able to register online and set up their account security questions. Only existing bank customers are allowed to sign up, and their accounts are to be restricted based on their account history, credit risk, and account balance.

• The application needs to support a mobile deposit feature for paper checks using the smartphone camera and a 3rd party imaging library.

• Mobile Banking services must access the legacy transaction processing systems of the bank to provide transactions such as: Balance Inquiry, Account Transfers, Deposits, and online Bill payment.

• Credit card accounts need to be linked to bank accounts, via a network gateway connection to the VISA payment network. This will allow for credit card payment authorizations and credit card payment transactions to be supported.

• Both iOS and Android smartphones must be supported.

Deliverable #1 – The VP of Client Services has come up with a new requirement for the Mobile Banking application, insisting that it provides a better user experience. It must support fingerprint authentication of the user, using the fingerprint reader of the smartphone. Identify the biggest pros and cons of this requirement from a security point of view. List out your recommendations for how this requirement should be implemented. Lastly, identify possible fallback solutions that could be considered, and the risks with each one.
