The SIMulation project: Demonstrating mobile payments based on cloud services

Abstract

This demonstration shows the mobile payment platform based on cloud services, designed by the SIMulation project. This project is a joint research effort from a major French mobile operator and an academic research institute. NFC payments cards are hosted in RACS payment servers. These are remotely used thanks to internet enable smart phones acting as logical bridge between the merchant terminal and the payment server. The communication security is enforced by the SIM module plugged in the mobile and fully processing the TLS protocol.
