Sadly anything requiring the users extra awareness and input will ultimately be reliant on the user for its successful operation.
However in the case of sensitive communications such as m-payments it is reasonable to assume that the user will exercise a certain amount of caution and effort when making a payment.

My preferred approach to virtual security is through the use of embedded and automated technology that requires little or no human intervention to set-up or use.
