Abstract
A micropayment framework suitable for the Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) environment is presented. The approach chosen focuses on the problems of scalability, modeling of a continuous cash flow and communication bandwidth. Only well known cryptographic algorithms and methods are used. The protocol will be conceptually clean as to upgrade to newer and more secure cryptographic protocols in the future. Because of the expected large number of mobile clients it is essential to the acceptance of a new protocol to be transparent to the user and the developer. We discuss the problems of mobile commerce, privacy and WAP related integration. The protocol performance regarding its timing behavior is evaluated within a standard-conformant WAP environment.
