A Two-Level Authentication Protocol for Secure M-Commerce Transactions using AMQP Protocol
Abstract
Trading is the crucial factor of the world's economic growth, and trading has taken its shape from the ancient barter system to modern mobile commerce because of advancements in technologies, the Internet, use of currency and human beings livelihood, and also in this pandemic situation of CARONA where everyone is focusing on online trading.
Because of advancements in technology usage and a drastic improvisation in hardware front, the entire computational devices and mobile phones have changed its motto of usage, where 90 percent of market users are using palmtops, laptops and smartphones and the human beings lifestyle is also drastically changed where they want everything on a single click through mobile apps irrespective of time and location (anytime from anywhere). The so-called e-commerce is merged with mobile communications, which emerged into mobile commerce.
Mobile commerce, also called mobile e-commerce or m-commerce, is defined as all activities related to a potential commercial transaction conducted through communications networks that interface with wireless or mobile devices.
Mobile Commerce addresses electronic commerce via mobile devices, where the consumer is not in physical or eye contact with the goods that are being purchased.
The advantages are massive with mobile commerce from the customer point of view and the manufacturer's point of view. However, there are also lots of complexities and security issues involved with this mobile commerce which isn't allowing many mobile users to modify m-commerce.
Many Cryptographic security algorithms and communication protocols were utilized in building a robust payment system for mobile commerce, but still, they need some if's and but's. This paper provides a Two-Level Authentication Protocol for secure M-Commerce Transactions using any conventional or public-key cryptosystem algorithm and The Advanced Message Queuing Protocol (AMQP), an open standard for exchanging business messages between applications or organizations.
