Person to Person Mobile Commerce

摘要

Most m-commerce systems currently in use are business to consumer (B2C) oriented, and use a mobile network to operate. A related area that does not receive as much attention is person-to-person (P2P) m-commerce. P2P m-commerce enables transactions between individual mobile users and non-professional traders with mobile devices. Web based P2P transactions have created a multi-billion dollar industry; it is conceivable that a mobile P2P payment system has the potential for similar success. This paper discusses the development of a system to allow secure P2P payments between users via their mobile device.
