Second USENIX Workshop on Electronic Commerce
Payment Method Negotiation Service:
Framework and Programming Specification
Alireza Bahreman and Rajkumar Narayanaswamy

Abstract
We propose a Payment Method Negotiation Service in this paper. This
service enables transacting peers to determine and negotiate their
common set of payment methods, protocols, systems or mechanisms,
system providers, capabilities, accounts, and instruments. The service
also enables the peers to select, among the negotiated choices, a
particular payment system or mechanism to use to conduct commerce. We
use a modular framework and define an object-based solution. The
programming interface is modular and extensible and can interoperate
with a wide range of payment systems. The service is transport
independent and can support a variety of communication
models. Therefore, all electronic commerce application developers
would be able to accommodate this service in their applications. The
Payment Method Negotiation service introduced here is part of the
Generic Electronic Payment Services (GEPS) framework being designed
and implemented in the E-CO System Project.
