A Study of Anonymous Purchasing Based on Mobile Payment System

“Anonymous purchasing” has been in use for about a decade. While we have been able to use anonymous purchasing to buy goods and services from home based desk-top computers for many years, it has only been within the last few years that anonymous purchasing has been used on a mobile platform. This has enabled the buyer to use anonymous purchasing almost anywhere such as restaurants where it had not been possible before. Now shoppers can easily use their Wechat account for purchasing goods using their mobile phone and do it anonymously. This has added to the privacy and security of the purchaser. This anonymity in purchasing is increasingly being demanded by more people. In this paper the authors will examine an anonymous purchasing system using digital signature techniques of cryptographic and mobile payment systems.
