online transaction fraud detection using backlogging on e-commerce website

ABSTRACT

Transaction fraud imposes serious threats to e-commerce shopping. As the online transaction is becoming more well known the types of online transaction frauds associated with this are likewise rising which affects the money related industry. This fraud detection system has the ability to restrict and hinder the transaction performed by the attacker from a genuine user’s credit card details. To overcome these problems, this system here is developed for the transactions higher than the customer’s current transaction limit. During registration, we take the required data which is efficient to detect fraudulent user action. The details of items purchased by any Individual transaction are generally not known to any Fraud Detection System (FDS) running at the bank that issues credit cards to the cardholders. BLA (Behavior and Location Analysis) is implemented for addressing this problem. A FDS runs at a credit card giving bank. Each approaching transaction is submitted to the FDS for verification. FDS receives the card details and transaction value to verify, whether the transaction is genuine or not. The types of products that are purchased in that transaction are not known to the FDS. The bank declines the transaction if FDS affirms the transaction to be a fraud. User spending patterns and geographical area is used to verify the identity. In the event that any surprising pattern is detected, the system requires re-verification. Based on previous information of that user, the system recognizes uncommon patterns in the payment procedure. After 3 invalid attempts, the system will hinder the user.

online transaction fraud detection using backlogging on e-commerce website

Background

Information mining involves the use of complicated information investigation instruments to discover previously obscure, substantial patterns and relationships among large informational indexes. These apparatuses can include mathematical calculations, factual models, and machine learning methods, (for example, Neural Networks or Decision Trees). Consequently, information mining comprises more than the collection and management of information, it likewise includes investigation and prediction. Information mining can be performed on information represented in textual, quantitative or multimedia structures. Information mining applications can use a range of parameters to observe the information. This includes an affiliation, characterization, sequence or way examination, clustering, and forecasting. When utilizing typical measures, detection of credit card fraud is a dubious errand. Therefore, the development of the credit card fraud detection model has become a lot of significant, whether in the academic, association, or business network recently. Proposed models or existing models are generally insights driven or Artificial Intelligent-based (AI), which have the theoretical advantages in not forcing counterfeit suspicions on the information variables.

Scope

We here come up with a system to develop a website which has capability to restrict and block the transaction performing by attacker from genuine user’s credit card details. The system here is developed for the transactions higher than the customer’s current transaction limit. We tried to detect fraudulent transaction before transaction succeed. During registration we take required information which is efficient to detect fraudulent user activity. Here we present a Behavior and Location Analysis (BLA). The details of items purchased in Individual transactions are usually not known to any Fraud Detection System (FDS) running at the bank that issues credit cards to the cardholders. Hence, We implemented BLA for addressing this problem. An advantage to use BLA approach to reduce number of false positive transactions identified as malicious by an FDS although they are genuine. An FDS runs at a credit card issuing bank. Each incoming transaction is submitted to the FDS for verification. FDS receives the card details and transaction value to verify, whether the transaction is genuine or not. The types of goods that are bought in that transaction are not known to the FDS. Bank declines the transaction if FDS confirms the transaction to be fraud. User spending patterns and geographical location is used to verify the identity. If any unusual pattern is detected, the system requires re-verification. Based upon previous data of that user the system recognizes unusual patterns in the payment procedure. System will block the user after 3 invalid attempts.

Advantages

The system is more secured with OTP (One Time Password) implementation.
IP address tracking at every transaction.
Security questions for payment limit crossed
More than 20-30 % deviation of user’s transaction (spending history and operating country) is considered as an invalid attempt and system takes action.

The Impact of eNaira Digital Currency on SMEs Business Transactions in Nigeria

On the 5th day of February 2021, the Central Bank of Nigeria (“CBN”) instructed banks and other financial institutions to refrain from dealing with cryptocurrency (a digital currency) and facilitating payment for cryptocurrency exchanges. With this, various crypto-based companies were frustrated out of the Nigerian market and the growth of other digital and virtual currencies in Nigeria decelerated.

Interestingly, the CBN has recently launched a project titled “Project Giant” on June 24, 2021; a project to produce and issue a government-controlled digital currency in Nigeria known as “eNaira”. On August 27, 2021, the CBN circulated a presentation to licensed Financial Institutions (“FI”) which provides guidelines on the issuance and operation of eNaira in Nigeria (“Presentation”). In this article, we have highlighted the pertinent features of eNaira and its prospective operations in Nigeria.

What is eNaira?

eNaira is a digital currency to be issued by the Nigerian government with the same value as fiat naira (i.e. physical naira notes). It is to be purchased by the general public through FI and transferred into e-wallets maintained by customers. It is similar to the Chinese digital renminbi and the Swedish e-krona.

How is eNaira different from cryptocurrency?

Cryptocurrency is a decentralised form of encrypted digital currency based on blockchain technology whilst eNaira is a government-controlled digital currency envisaged to be more stable than cryptocurrency as its value is to be at parity with the country’s official currency.

What is the benefit of eNaira over regular digital banking?

Unlike digital banking which involves customers transacting with money maintained by them in a bank, eNaira is actual money earned and maintained by customers in their e-wallets. Consequently, customers will be able to transact with it like fiat currency without the involvement of intermediaries as is the case with digital banking. The elimination of the intermediaries is expected to reduce the cost and time of transactions. Furthermore, cross-border transactions are expected to become easier. It also provides an opportunity for unbanked Nigerians to transact with eNaira without a private bank account.

How will eNaira operate in practice?

eNaira will be supplied by the CBN (from their Stock Wallet) to intermediaries (licensed FIs) for onward supply to individuals. Consequently, FIs will maintain a treasury wallet to receive eNaira from the CBN. eNaira transactions will operate on new and existing systems including the Nigerian central switch i.e. the Nigeria Inter-Bank Settlement System Plc (NIBSS).

There are to be four major parties in the operating model of eNaira. (i) The CBN; (ii) the licensed FIs (responsible for issuing eNaira to Customers, monitoring digital transactions under their institution; (iii) Businesses and Merchants (responsible for complying with the CBN regulation on KYC and AML/CFT); and (iv) Customers (responsible for maintaining an eNaira Wallet).

How will the eNaira Wallet operate?

Upon launch of the eNaira, the CBN will provide an interim e-wallet (the Spead Wallet) for customers until FIs can develop and launch their individual wallets. There will be three tiers of wallet as highlighted below.

*Types of wallet*	*Cumulative balance Limit*	*Transfer Limit*	*KYC Requirement*
Tier 1	300,000	50,000	No existing bank account, phone number validated by NIN
Tier 2	500,000	200,000	Existing Bank account and Bank Verification Number (BVN)
Tier 3	5,000,000	1,000,000	Existing Bank account and BVN
Merchant	No limit	1,000,000	Full KYC requirement and Anti-money laundering and counterfeit terrorism regulation of the CBN

Conclusion

For eNaira project to be successful, a good number of Nigerians (including companies and government agencies) will have to maintain e-wallets. Nevertheless, eNaira will be troubled by some of the current issues of the country including illiteracy, lack of power, lack of internet coverage, and the volatility of the Nigerian currency.

Though the provisions of the Presentation are tentative as the CBN is yet to issue a draft guideline or framework on the operation of eNaira, this project appears to be a step in the right direction to achieving a cashless economy.

There are also hopes (though there is no indication of the strength of this) that the guidelines of the CBN will create an avenue for the operation of cryptocurrency and virtual currencies in Nigeria.

A Study of the Antioxidant Activity of Phenolic Components of Natural Honey in Nigeria

The Study of the Antioxidant Activity of Phenolic Components of Natural Honey in Nigeria

ABSTRACT.

In this study, ten honey and five propolis samples from different geographical origins were tested. Both honey and propolis samples showed high content of total phenolic compounds (330-610 mg gallic acid equivalent (GAE)/100 g honey; 365-1022 mg GAE/g ethanol extract of propolis (EEP). The total flavonoids ranged from (15.1-42.6 mg catechin equivalent (CE)/100 g for honey; to 123-74 mg CE/g for EEP. These honeybee products of Ethiopia had high total radical scavenging properties with respect to 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH); 18.1-59.8% and 48.6-87.8% for honey and EEP respectively. Furthermore, the hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) of the honey samples was found to be low with a mean value of 4.8 mg/kg suggesting that the samples were of good quality. The antioxidant properties of the products showed a good correlation (r2 = 0.50-0.82) with their polyphenolic contents.

Renoprotective Role of Natural Honey in the prevention of High Blood Pressure in Animal Model

Introduction

Honey is a natural product produced from the nectar and exudation of plants by the honeybees, Apis mellifera (Alvarez-Suarez et al., 2010). The natural honey has been reported to contain about 200 substances, which consist of not only highly concentrated solution of sugars, but also the complex mixture of other saccharides, amino acids, peptides, enzymes, proteins, organic acids, polyphenols, carotenoidlike substances, vitamins, and minerals (Gheldof etal., 2002; Sato & Miyata, 2000; White, 1975).

Sugars are the main constituents of honey, comprising about 95% of its dry weight (Alvarez-Suarez et al., 2010). While glucose and fructose are the dominant constituents, about 25 different sugars have been detected (Doner, 1977; Siddiqui, 1970). The view by White (1975) has demonstrated that proteins in honey are mainly enzymes. Honey contains roughly 0.5% proteins (Alvarez-Suarez et al., 2010) and the protein contents in some honeys can be over 1 000 µg/g (Azeredo et al., 2003). Main enzymes include diastase, invertase, glucose oxidase and catalase. Although the content of amino acids in honey is relatively small, it has been found that almost all of physiologically essential amino acids are present in honey (Cotte et al., 2004; Hermosín et al., 2003). The primary amino acid is proline, contributing 50-85% of the total amino acids (Hermosín et al., 2003). The level of organic acids in honey is relatively low and about 18 organic acids have been detected (Nanda et al., 2003). Most of the acidity present in honey is added by honeybees (Echigo & Takenaka, 1974). Gluconic acid, the predominant honey organic acid, is the product of glucose oxidation, presenting at 50-fold higher levels than other acids (Cherchi et al., 1994). Investigations have shown that a wide range of trace elements are present in honey, including Al, Ba, Bi, Co, Cr, Mo, Ni, Pb, Sn, Ti, as well as minerals (Ca, Cu, Fe, K, Na, Mg, Mn, Zn) (Conti, 2000; Stocker et al., 2005), among them, the main mineral element is potassium while copper presents lowest amount (Nada et al., 2003). Vitamins such as thiamin (B1), riboflavin (B2), pyridoxine (B6), and ascorbic acid (C) have also been reported but their amount is very small in honey (Ball, 2007; Nada et al., 2003). When honey is treated with mild heat or prolonged storage, a compositional change can occur due to caramelization of the carbohydrates, the Maillard reaction, and decomposition of fructose in the acid medium of honey (Villamiel et al., 2001)

Phytochemicals are chemical substances naturally occurring in plants and many of them are now recognized to have health-promoting activity (Apostolidis et al., 2006; Liu, 2003; Liu, 2004; Sun et al., 2002; Vattem et al., 2005). Phenolic substances are the largest group of phytochemicals (King & Young, 1999). The plants containing phytochemicals might be used as a supply of the bees; thereby bioactive compounds can be transferred to honey. Studies have shown that honey contains great variation in contents of different phytochemicals according to floral sources and climatic conditions, which contribute to different characteristic colors, flavors, aromas, and bioactivities (Abu-Tarboush et al., 1993; Molan, 1996). As herbal medicines are derived from different plants, which can produce different therapeutic properties (Villegas et al., 1997), some honey derived from these specific plants may provide added value for health promotion. Honey produced by bees fed herbal extracts has shown greater antioxidant activity than normal honey (Rosenblat et al., 1997).
