Reliable OSPM schema for secure transaction using mobile agent in micropayment system
The paper introduces a novel offline payment system in mobile commerce using the case study of micro-payments. The present paper is an extension version of our prior study addressing on implication of secure micropayment system deploying process oriented structural design in mobile network. The previous system has broad utilization of SPKI and hash chaining to furnish reliable and secure offline transaction in mobile commerce. However, the current work has attempted to provide much more light weight secure offline payment system in micro-payments by designing a new schema termed as Offline Secure Payment in Mobile Commerce (OSPM). The empirical operation are carried out on three types of transaction process considering maximum scenario of real time offline cases. Therefore, the current idea introduces two new parameters i.e. mobile agent and mobile token that can ensure better security and comparatively less network overhead
Anonymous, authentic, and accountable resource management based on the E-cash paradigm
The prevalence of digital information management in an open network has driven
the need to maintain balance between anonymity, authenticity and accountability (AAA).
Anonymity allows a principal to hide its identity from strangers before trust relationship
is established. Authenticity ensures the correct identity is engaged in the transaction even
though it is hidden. Accountability uncovers the hidden identity when misbehavior of the
principal is detected. The objective of this research is to develop an AAA management
framework for secure resource allocations. Most existing resource management schemes
are designed to manage one or two of the AAA attributes. How to provide high strength
protection to all attributes is an extremely challenging undertaking. Our study shows that
the electronic cash (E-cash) paradigm provides some important knowledge bases for this
purpose. Based on Chaum-Pederson’s general transferable E-cash model, we propose a
timed-zero-knowledge proof (TZKP) protocol, which greatly reduces storage spaces and
communication overheads for resource transfers, without compromising anonymity and
accountability. Based on Eng-Okamoto’s general divisible E-cash model, we propose a hypercube-based divisibility framework, which provides a sophisticated and flexible way
to partition a chunk of resources, with different trade-offs in anonymity protection and
computational costs, when it is integrated with different sub-cube allocation schemes.
Based on the E-cash based resource management framework, we propose a privacy
preserving service oriented architecture (SOA), which allows the service providers and
consumers to exchange services without leaking their sensitive data. Simulation results
show that the secure resource management framework is highly practical for missioncritical
applications in large scale distributed information systems
Study Of Electronic Cash: Its Impact On The Economy And Society, And Its Future
Technological advancement has introduced an electronic method for the payment for goods and services. With these advancements and the growth of the internet, the market-place of the world has become one universe without borders. This paper examines the various methods of electronic payment for goods and services and the domestic and international laws that govern their operations. The paper explores concerns about money laundering, counterfeiting, internet security, cyber scams in electronic cash as well as proffered security solutions to these problems. The paper concludes with the proposition that electronic cash in the form of cards (ATM) are more accessible to the masses as compared to electronic cash based on PCs and the Internet
