Proximity Payment Use Case Document - June 2005
This document brings together a number of use cases for proximity payments from a mobile phone. The document is not an exhaustive list of use cases, but rather gathers together a range of scenarios of how mobile proximity payments can be used.
Proximity Payment Technology Assessment Document - December 2004
This document is a technology assessment concerning all aspects of a proximity payment transaction which are being trialed or have been deployed, including security requirements, point-of-sale impacts, and payment infrastructure impacts.
Form Fill Technology Assessment - August 2003
The Form Fill Activity of the Mobile Payment Forum Processes Working Group developed a document detailing a number of requirements for form fill technologies. This document evaluates a number of form fill technologies and form fill solutions provided by technology vendors against these requirements.
Requirements for Application Download and Personalization - June 2003
This document addresses the requirements for an environment to enable the distributions, personalization and enablement of a payment application, including an OTA download mechanism. The requirements listed concentrate on those essential for the download of payment applications and data. The requirements are not an exhaustive list of requirements for an OTA download mechanism.
Risks and Threats Analysis and Security Best Practices for Two-Way Messaging - December 2002
The Mobile Payment Forum is developing the building blocks required for mobile payment systems. Authentication is an important building block, and the MPF is considering multiple technologies and channels for authentication. The two way messaging channel is ones means and is a candidate for quick deployment. The goal of this document is to provide a detailed security analysis of the two way messaging systems that are used for authentication of users during a financial transaction, and to derive security requirements and/or recommendations in a mobile payment system.
Third-Party Authentication Business Requirements - April 2003
This document lists the business requirements needed to integrate third-party authentication with existing payment models. This document also seeks to clarify the basic intent of Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) and of Financial Institutions (FIs) for processing payment transactions. The business frame, i.e., the transactional context, is also defined, in order to clarify how MNOs and FIs may agree to interact.
Requirements for Two-Way Messaging Interface - February 2003
As part of many mobile payment systems, there is a requirement for the authentication requestor to require that the user authenticate a transaction. This party may have to interact with users on multiple networks, and multiple underlying transport and authentication mechanisms. In order to simplify this for the party requiring authentication, it is useful to have a standardized interface over which authentication may be requested. The purpose of this document is to define the requirements for an authentication service which must be exposed on such an interface.
Mobile Payment Forum White Paper - December 2002
This non-technical white paper provides a high-level context and business rationale for the Mobile Payment Forum's activities. This paper examines the technical and business requirements for successful mobile payments. The paper also addresses how these requirements are being addressed by the Mobile Payment Forum (MPF), a cross-industry alliance of financial institutions, payment card organizations, hardware and software technology vendors, network operators, merchants, content providers, and wireless device manufacturers.
