English Abstract

The vast spread of information in the last decade has led to great development in e-commerce.

This has become a very important issue in the Internet services that implement e-transaction from any place in the world.

This helps the merchant and bank to ease the financial transaction process and to give the user friendly services at any time.

The cost of communications falls down considerably while the cost of the trusted authority and protecting information is increased.

E-payment operations are now one of the most central research areas in e-commerce, mainly, regarding online and payment scenarios.

In this thesis, we will discuss an important e-payment protocol; namely, Kim and Lee’s scheme and examine its advantages and delimitations.

This encourages the researcher to develop more efficient scheme that keeps all characteristics intact without concession of the security robustness of the protocol.

The suggested protocol employs the idea of public key encryption scheme using the thought of hash function.

We will compare the proposed protocol with Kim and Lee’s protocol and demonstrate that the proposed protocol offers more security and efficiency; which makes the proposed protocol practicable for the real world services.
