Software 1) GSM SIM-based Mobile Payment Systems: The objective of this project
Systems was to develop a mobile payment system using SIM-enabled handheld
device. As the outcome of the project, we developed a payment system,
Delivered named mChq, which was released and used for real applications by
ZERO-MASS team. The pilot testing of the project was conducted by an
Industry consortium, several banks in India, IIT Bombay and IDRBT-
Hyderabad.

2) Multi-application Smart cards based Payment Systems: This was a

pilot project sponsored by the MCIT, Govt. of India for studying
feasibility and viability of chip-card based payment system in India during
2001-2003. The project was executed by an Industry consortium, IIT
Bombay and IDRBT-Hyderabad. We studied the feasibility of this project
and developed a prototype and test bed for this project. The pilot was
tested and found suitable for its commercialization as and when the
financial institutions willing to adopt this module.

3) Key Management system using Hardware Security Module for

Payment systems: The system was designed for master key generation for
smart card issuers and acquirers, and then personalization of cards at banks
for smart card based payment scenarios.

4) Public Key Certification Module for Certifying Authority: The

objective of the project was to develop the life cycle of the certification
process aiming to use the module in Certifying Authority project. The
module was designed, developed and tested using the real test cases for
managing of public key certificates.
