Abstract

This paper describes our experience with implementing an electronic payment system for the PalmPilot. Although Palm OS lacks support for many desired security features, we are able to build a system suitable for small payments. We discuss the advantages and disadvantages of using a PDA to make secure payments as opposed to using a smartcard or a desktop PC. In addition, we describe the engineering of PDA-PayWord, our implementation of a commerce protocol that takes advantage of both elliptic curve and RSA public key cryptography to support payments efficiently on PDAs with limited processing capability.
