Abstract
In this paper, we describe the design and development of a microtransaction system to provide an efficient, secure and flexible subscription based solution to e-commerce for digital goods and services. The system is integrated with a multi-instrument payment system as well as a role based PKI system. This has enabled us to support various privacy and authentication aspects of microtransactions.
The work was done under the project Design and Implementation of Secure Systems for E-Commerce, supported from MIT, New Delhi.
Forrester estimates that e-commerce will account for 8.6 % of worldwide sales of goods and services by 2004.
