A wireless payment system

Abstract

The swift advance of wireless networking, communication, and mobile technology is making a big impact to daily life. The significant increase of mobile device users in the recent years causes a strong demand on secured wireless information services and reliable mobile commerce (m-commerce) applications. Since mobile payment (m-payment) is a critical part of most wireless information services and applications, how to generate secured m-payment systems has become a hot research topic. This paper proposes a peer-to-peer m-payment system, known as P2P-Paid to allow mobile users to conduct wireless payments over the Bluetooth communications and to perform related secured transactions with the server. This paper introduces backgrounds, related work, and the system communication protocol, and provides system overview, security solution as well as implementation report.
