Customer Data Scanner for Hands-Free Mobile Payment

Abstract

New payment technologies are coming that will raise user convenience. To support automatic hands-free payment, merchant devices will collect customer's information from the cloud of payment service providers or customer's smart phones, which should be removed after the transaction. Using Jaccard containment, we propose a proactive security approach of cleaning personal data at merchant-side point-of-sale terminals. We also propose a sampling method to reduce communication overhead by several orders of magnitude.
