Abstract

In this paper we describe observed gender differences in the perception of security of mobile phones, especially on authentication and payment-related features and application on smartphones. The data was gathered in a focus group, two surveys and an experiment during November 2009 and September 2011. The data shows significant differences in perceived security and future use of security-related features and applications.
