The growing importance of electronic commerce has resulted in the birth of a plethora of different and incompatible payment systems. For business application writers this implies the need to understand the details of different mechanisms, to adapt the code as soon new payment schemes arrive and also to provide a way of finding a common mechanism for every transaction. In our work, we unify the ...

Mobile and Wireless Information Systems received considerable interest in research and development communities. As a result, significant advances were made, which will affect our life both as users and researchers of mobile and wireless technologies. In this paper, we discuss both the current state of mobile and wireless information systems and the challenges in the widescale deployment and use...

The fast ever-growing number of newly introduced mobile technologies makes the development of mobile information systems a somewhat complex activity. Decision makers providers, merchants, and consumers alike have to face great uncertainty and complexity regarding the acceptance of mobile technologies.

Modeling the demand for cash and deposits is a primary concern for central banks. Within a wide range of academic contributions, payment choice models based on transaction sizes (TS models) have been promoted. However, TS models induce strong predictions about the use of payment instruments. In particular, all equal-sized transactions are supposed to be paid with the same payment instrument. We...

Since mid-2012, France and Germany have had to deal with a new form of payment card skimming. This fraud consists of adding a wireless embedded system into a point-of-sale payment terminal with the fraudulent goal of collecting payment card data and personal identification numbers (PIN). This case study details the strategy adopted to conduct the digital forensic examination of these skimmers. ...

This paper analyses relevant IT governance and security frameworks/standards used in IT assurance and security to propose an integrated framework for ensuring effective PCI DSS implementation. Merchants dealing with credit cards have to comply with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS) or face penalties for non-compliance. With more transactions based on credit cards, merc...

To supply ecosystem services, private landholders incur costs. Knowledge of these costs is critical for the design of conservation-payment programs. Estimating these costs accurately is difficult because the minimum acceptable payment to a potential supplier is private information. We describe how an auction of payment contracts can be designed to elicit this information during the design phase...
