Authentication and payment in mobile computing network
Wang Yu-min · Journal of China Institute of Communications · 2002
According to the requirements of the technique in mobile computing network, an efficient protocol for mutual authentication and electronic payment is proposed with the capability of arbitrating disputed bills. The paper also demonstrates how a micropayment scheme can be integrated into the authentication protocol. The protocols provide security services required by regular authentication and payment protocols and are efficient in consideration of the storage requirement and computation overheads on subscribers. They protect subscribers from incorrect service charges and provide service providers legal evidences to collect bills that are denied. By using public key infrastructure, they can be used as authentication and payment protocol in future mobile systems.
