The fast advance of wireless networking, communication, and mobile technology brings big impact to daily life. The significant increase of smartphone users in the recent years causes a strong demand on secured wireless information services and reliable mobile commerce applications. Since wireless payment is a critical part of most wireless information services and mobile commerce applications, how to generate secured mobile payment systems becomes a hot research topic in both the e-commerce research community and wireless commerce industry. This project proposes a peer-to-peer wireless payment system to allow two mobile users to conduct wireless payment transactions over the Near Field Communications (NFC). The system uses a 2-dimensional secured protocol, which not only supports the peer-to-peer (P2P) payment transactions between two mobile clients using NFC, but also supports the related secured transactions between the payment server and mobile clients. At this stage, this project is focused on the first phase implementation to demonstrate the functions and feasibility of the system. This report provides a system overview about system functional features, system architecture, and used technologies
