Abstract:
Grids present an attractive type of distributed applications that can be efficiently developed on 4G networks. They are characterized by large scale resource sharing and innovative distributed applications. The design and deployment of a service in a 4G Grid platform can be done in real time without a prior knowledge of any contributing node. It can be used efficiently to implement sophisticated applications while providing a complete control. In this paper, we propose a new secure micropayment scheme based on the Grid concept. Our scheme presents a solution to pay anonymous parties present on various 4G networks, while allowing tracing payment operations.
