  4. Abstract:
  5. Upon development of m-commerce as one of the new branches of e-commerce, m-banking has emerged as one of the main divisions of m-commerce. As the m-banking was received very well, it has embarked upon supply of various services based on different systems and with the aid of various services such as the Short Messaging Service (SMS). However, in spite of its advantages, m-banking is facing some challenges as well. One of these challenges is the issue of security of this system. This paper presents a method for increasing security of the information requested by users with the use of steganography method. In this method, instead of direct sending of the information, it is hidden in a picture by the password and is put on a site. Then the address of the picture is sent to the user. After receiving the address of the picture through SMS, the user downloads the picture by a special program. After entering the password, the user can witness the information extracted from the picture if the password is entered correctly. This project is written in J2ME language (Java 2 Micro Edition) and has been implemented on Nokia mobile phones, models N71 and 6680. © 2007 IEEE
