Abstract

Payment is a basic facility for citizen, required by numerous services in our everyday life. In this paper we present an innovative and open mobile payment infrastructure, targeting Mobile Networks Operators (MNOs) and relying on open protocols and technologies. The MobiSIM platform is based on the Host Card Emulation (HCE) facility introduced since the KitKat Android operating system. It uses secure elements (EMV cards) hosted in the cloud, and remotely accessed via the RACS protocol. It is described by an IETF draft, whose security relies on the TLS protocol. The TLS stack enforces strong mutual authentication, and runs in the SIM module. A legacy contactless payment operation requires about 0,4s. The MobiSIM platform performs payment transactions in the real word, over the 4G cellular network in less than one second.
