Abstract-- Mobile Payment researches has increased rapidly in
recent years. A most recent researchers are focusing on
contactless mobile payment systems that uses mobile phones
wireless technologies to achieve payment system success factors
like availability, simplicity, security, and privacy of payment
transaction. Moreover, Mobile technologies has a number of
security risks. This paper proposes a new secured design of
mobile payment system using a Near Field Communication
(NFC) technology. The proposed system uses the features of NFC
system to achieve an efficient and complete payment cycle.
Furthermore, a solution to the relay attack is proposed. Also the
proposed design satisfies the three most important security
measures, Confidentiality, integrity and availability.
Index Term-- Mobile Payment Privacy protection; Secured
Payment System; NFC Payment System.
1. INTRODUCTION
As mobile devices have become one of the most trusted
personal devices, also mobile payment is defined as
interactions between parties in an electronic Payment (e-
payment) system with specific data and certain payment
capabilities, the concept of mobile payment (m-payments)
includes any payment in which a mobile device is used in at
least one step of payment process [1]. The m-payment services
can be done through a none-bank party (as financial or credit
institutions) that independent of pre-existing bank accounts
[2].
Figure.1 shows m-payment basic process steps, m-payment
system main steps are the registration and forwarding the
authorized and validated payment transactions [3]. Payment
system life-cycle starts with payment request creation then
payment authorization, and ended by payment request
completion [4].
Fig. 1. m-Payment Conceptual Schema
Moreover, the proposed m-payments contains four entities:
consumer who subscribe to a service, merchants who provide
product or service to consumers, payment service provider,
which controls the payment process in additional to the
financial organization (FO) who manage users financial
accounts [5].
The proposed system simulates a payment transaction
process where an NFC mobile phone is used as a payment
terminal at a point of sale device (POS). Also, the transaction
is made through NFC communication between the customer
NFC-phone and POS contactless reader which connected to a
computer. The reader acts as a payment card terminal and an
application running on the Personal Computer (PC) acts as a
cash register system. An overview of the proposed system is
shown in Figure 2.
