GENERAL METHODOLOGY OF MARKET REPORTS
Secondary Market Research
The reports are compiled based on secondary market research. Secondary research is information gathered from previously published sources. Our reports are
solely based on information and data acquired from national and international statistical offices, industry and trade associations, business reports, business and
company databases, journals, company registries, news portals and many other reliable sources. By using various sources we ensure maximum objectivity for
all obtained data. As a result, companies gain a precise and unbiased impression of the market situation.
Cross referencing of data is conducted in order to ensure validity and reliability.
The source of information and its release date are provided on every chart. It is possible that the information contained in one chart is derived from several
sources. If this is the case, all sources are mentioned on the chart.
The reports include mainly data from the last 12 months prior to the date of report publication. Exact publication dates are mentioned in every chart.
Definitions
The reports take into account a broad definition of B2C E-Commerce, which might include mobile commerce. As definitions may vary among sources, exact
definition used by the source (if available) is included at the bottom of the chart.
Chart Types
Our reports include text charts, pie charts, bar charts, rankings, line graphs and tables. Every chart contains an Action Title, which summarizes the main
idea/finding of the chart and a Subtitle, which provides necessary information about the country, the topic, units or measures of currency, and the applicable time
period(s) to which the data refers. With respect to rankings, it is possible that the summation of all categories amounts to more than 100%. In this case, multiple
answers were possible, which is noted at the bottom of the chart.
Report Structure
Reports are comprised of the following elements, in the following order: Cover page, preface, legal notice, methodology, definitions, table of contents,
management summary (summarizing main information contained in each section of report) and report content (divided into sections and chapters). When
available, we also include forecasts in our report content. These forecasts are not our own; they are published by reliable sources. Within Global and Regional
reports, we include all major developed and emerging markets, ranked in order of importance by using evaluative criteria such as sales figures.
Notes and Currency Values
If available, additional information about the data collection, for example the time of survey and number of people surveyed, is provided in the form of a note. In
some cases, the note (also) contains additional information needed to fully understand the contents of the respective data.
When providing information about amounts of money, local currencies are most often used. When referencing currency values in the Action Title, the EUR
values are also provided in brackets. The conversions are always made using the average currency exchange rate for the respective time period. Should the
currency figure be in the future, the average exchange rate of the past 12 months is used.

METHODOLOGY OF THE CURRENT REPORT

Samsung Pay’s security features include tokenization, authentication
via fingerprint and PIN, and the use of the Samsung KNOX platform.
Samsung Pay: Overview of Security Features of Samsung Pay, December 2016
Description
Samsung KNOX
KNOX is a defense-grade mobile security platform built into Samsung’s devices. Samsung Galaxy devices that support KNOX
and Samsung Pay use ARM TrustZone technology, which is a system-on-chip security architecture. TrustZone establishes
two worlds based on the hardware – a Normal World and a Secure World. Encrypted sensitive data and the associated
cryptographic keys are stored and computed in the Secure World. Multiple trusted apps which form the Samsung Pay
architecture run inside the Trusted Execution Environment on the Samsung KNOX platform. Furthermore, Samsung KNOX
platform conducts real-time monitoring for suspicious activity with Samsung Pay.
Tokenization
Payment tokenization adds a cryptogram containing unique authentication data generated by the smartphone. Tokens
transmitted from the POS can only be linked back to sensitive information kept on servers maintained by the token service
provider. Samsung Pay uses tokenization services offered by global payment networks available to the respective card
association members. Third-party tokenization service providers are also supported, as well as such services from card
issuers.
Authentication
Transactions are authenticated by fingerprint or PIN. User input from initial identity verification and transaction authentication
is transferred from the device hardware directly to the Secure World, bypassing the native Android operation system.
Remote Management
Samsung Pay users can access their mobile devices remotely via a web service to delete or suspend cards in the Samsung
Pay application. If the user remotely locks Samsung Pay via Remote Management, for instance, if the device was lost, access
to Samsung Pay from the device will be disabled and the related tokens will be suspended by card networks. Card issuers
can also suspend or delete cards by managing the corresponding tokens.
