Abstract

The recent increase in data breaching incidents involving high profile e-commerce companies is alarming as such privacy threats can seriously thwart the healthy growth of electronic commerce. We propose a privacy-preserving e-payment scheme that guarantees authenticity while keeping the customer's sensitive details secret from the respective parties involved in the online transaction. Using a non-reusable password-based authentication approach, the proposed protocol allows consumers to anonymously purchase goods from an online merchant, thus achieving the ideal privacy environment in which to shop. The protocol can be easily deployed in an e-commerce environment without requiring great changes to the current processes.
