Abstract

We present a set of mobile prepayment solution in which the prepayment meter (PM) system is implemented without smart card and user need not go to agency by oneself for prepayment. For the purpose of solving the difficult problem of utility meter prepayment at the specific location in person, mobile payment client (MPC) with graph user interface (GUI) located on mobile device which is responded for business initiation. PM is connected to PS via Zigbee network and the 3rd generation wireless communication infrastructure (3G) and utility meter may connect Zigbee node via RS485 bus. By means of identification and mutual authentication which generating different session key with time stamp every time, the cross validation mechanism based on PKI among PM, MPC and PS improve the security of mobile prepayment system. The security mechanism is given in the end including user identification, mutual authentication, data integrity and data confidentiality. The result of the present work implied that mobile phone is gradually becoming a data access and exchange platform of mobile payment. It will be an important role in mobile prepayment meter system.
