Abstract
A method, apparatus, and computer program for improving security in connection with online transactions are provided. A security application configured to monitor received text messages of a short message service is executed in an apparatus. The security application is arranged to have prioritized access to process the received text messages before other applications executed in the apparatus, to identify from contents of a received text message whether or not the received text message includes a transaction authentication message and, upon detecting that the received text message includes the transaction authentication message, prevent the processing of the transaction authentication message by the other applications and carry out user interfacing related to the transaction authentication message within a secured environment provided by the security application.
