Hi Payment-Gurus, If you have the possibility installing system software like Java SE on a PC or MAC at your disposal, you can test an early version [1] of a decentralized [2], wallet-based [3] Web Payment system. I will later create a short YouTube video that (hopefully) will explain the concept for non-programmers. For those of you who are in the process of creating some kind of Web Payment standard, I believe the fact that the PoC system relies on a single and pretty universal (not "payment flavored"), method added to the browser [4], should be of some interest. Although the scope of this project extends quite a bit beyond security, it may be worth mentioning that the system uses an enhanced smart card for holding payment credentials (albeit in a software version to make testing feasible without shipping hardware). After installing the Wallet software, you can try out the PoC at: https://test.webpki.org/webpay-merchant I'm currently working on a second generation that will contain an equally decentralized scheme for protecting card data in traditional card networks , which is not based on Tokenization since I have found out that the EMVCo Tokenization scheme has severe scalability issues. The system currently lacks some documentation... Anyway, I'm always responding quickly to questions if you have some :-) Cheers, Anders Performing his weekly update 1] Getting the PoC software: https://github.com/cyberphone/web2native-bridge#installation 2] Decentralized payments: http://webpki.org/papers/decentralized-payments.pdf 3] The Wallet: https://github.com/cyberphone/web2native-bridge/blob/release/webpayment.client/src/org/webpki/w2nb/webpayment/client/Wallet.java#L116 4] The added browser method: https://github.com/cyberphone/web2native-bridge#api
