Theft of
personal identity is an unlawful act, a criminal in this case possesses or
attempts to be in possession of an identity of a victim without their knowledge
nor consent. Mobile identity theft the problem that inspires this study is just
one of the types of identity theft and refers to having control of a mobile
subscriber identification through SIM card registration and replacement
services again without the authority of the sole owner. This study provides a
solution to solve a gap that is addressed by empirical studies from both
academia and the industry for a problem that researchers feel should be a none
issue in the twenty first century. The study besides interprets the course of
mobile identity theft problem going by
the literature reviewed to be orchestrated by criminals who leverage
vulnerabilities at Subscriber Identity Module registration and replacement
processes. The study then proposes, develops and tests an integrated
authentication scheme based on existing models and inspired by theory of human
identification to hypothesize that addition of Integrated population
registration records would mitigate the problem.
The simulation process
of the proposed model is guided by an algorithm that employs a formula which
determines strength of authentication score, using data generated by constructs
of the scheme various results provide clarification on the safety of the model
when various parameters are changed. The study observer’s a maximum
authentication score at 96.43% when level of security is highest for all
parameters in the new authentication model against that of 95.37% when security
levels of the current authentication model are highest. The study hereby
confirms that highest level of authentication can be achieved by introducing an
integrated population records to the already existing authentication model
while their levels of security are maximum.
