A Secure Mobile Payment Framework Based On Face Authentication

With the increasing market share of the smartphone, more and more people use m-payment (mobile payment) to pay for something in their daily life. In this paper, a brand new m-payment framework which based on face authentication is proposed after studying existing m-payment security frameworks. On the basis of traditional password authentication technology, this new face authentication based framework applies biological characteristics to ensure users’ privacy. In technical level, it uses semi-3D vertical recovery technology and face feature extraction method which cope with 2D-PCA (two dimension principal component analysis) to verify users’ face image. Besides, this framework applies a third-party to guarantee the legitimacy of the transaction process.
