The evolution of modern mobile devices towards novel Radio Frequency (RF) capabilities, such as Near Field Communication, leads to a potential for delivering innovative mobile services, which is still partially unexplored. Mobile proximity payment systems are going to enhance the daily shopping experience, but the access to payment security resources of a mobile device (e.g. the “Secure Element”) by third party applications is still blocked by smartphone and Operating System manufacturers. In this paper, the IDA-Pay system is presented, an innovative and secure NFC micro-payment system based on Peer-to-Peer NFC operating mode for Android mobile phones. It allows to deliver mobile-to-POS micro-payment services, bypassing the need for special hardware. A validation scenario and a system evaluation are also reported to demonstrate the system effectiveness and performance.


Mobile adhoc networks (MANETs) have drawn attention to multitudinous consideration because of the univerality of mobile devices as well as the developments in wireless era. MANET is a peer-to-peer multi hop cellular wireless era community which does not have both difficult and speedy infrastructure and a relevant server. Every vertex of a MANET performs like a router and communicates with every unique. There exist numerous information duplication strategies which were presented to reduce the execution squalor. All are concluded that everyone cell vertices cooperate completely from the perspective of sharing their memory vicinity. But, via a few methods few vertices might additionally behave selfishly and determine simplest to cooperate in part or never with different vertices. The selfish vertices ought to then lessen the overall information approachability within the network. From this work, we try to take a look at the influence of selfish vertices in a mobile ad hoc community in terms of reproduction issuance i.e Selfish nodes are dealt with in replica allocation.

Today, Peer-to-Peer SIP based communication systems have attracted much attention from both the academia and industry. The decentralized nature of P2P might provide the distributed peer-to-peer communication system without help of the traditional SIP server. However, the decentralization features come to the cost of the reduced manageability and create new concerns. Until now, the main focus of research was on the availability of the network and systems, while few attempts are put on protecting privacy. In this chapter, we investigate on P2PSIP security issues and introduce two enhancement solutions: central based security and distributed trust security, both of which have their own advantages and disadvantages. After that, we study appropriate combination of these two approaches to get optimized protection. Our design is independent of the DHT (Distributed Hash Table) overlay technology. We take the Chord overlay as the example, and then, analyze the system in several aspects: security & privacy, number-of the hops, message flows, etc.
