An Efficient and Secure Micro-payment Transaction Using Shell Cryptography

Abstract

The rapid growth of data communication networks in recent years has led to enormous development .electronic micro payment [6] is one of the most important topics in electronic commerce [4], particularly low cost online payment scenarios and offline payment in rural areas. In this paper we discuss some of the micro payment schemes, observe their merits and demerits and the propose micro payment scheme. we will use shell cryptography in lieu of public key cryptography in e cash schemes and provide security to the micro payment transactions. we compare the improved scheme with others and show that the improved scheme provide better security and efficiency, which enables the schemes viable for real world applications in particular, in resource constraint environment such as mobile payment through handheld devices or customers chip card for debit/credit transaction through point of sale terminal.
