Abstract
The most important phase in E-Commerce interactions is the payment,
due to the transfer of sensitive information (e.g., credit card
numbers). A couple of requirements exist both from the point of view
of a customer and from the merchant's perspective. This set of
requirements is even enlarged when complex interactions are considered
in which a customer purchases goods originating from different
merchants within one single E-Commerce transaction.
In this paper, we show how all these different requirements of payment
interactions can be seamlessly integrated in transactional payment
processes. These processes are generated automatically based on the
customer's specification of the E-Commerce transaction (involved
participants, means of payment, etc.). We present the basic structure
of such payment processes, how the requirements are mapped into these
processes and how they can be generated automatically. Furthermore,
we present the architecture of a payment coordinator that has been
implemented within the INVENT project. This payment coordinator
controls the execution of transactional payment processes, thereby
keeping track of the interactions with the various participants.
