Abstract: The exponential growth of the mobile applications and emerging concept of cloud computing (CC) has introduced a new realm of research known as mobile commerce based on cloud. In this paper, we propose a secure mobile commerce framework based on Banking Community Cloud (BCC). This paper overcomes all the flaws in the existing literature by making use of wireless public key infrastructure (WPKI), Universal Integrated Circuit Card (UICC) and BCC thereby achieving end to end security. Client's data will be protected during the transit and during the storage in cloud from cloud providers and from attackers. End to end security is ensured thereby ensuring authentication, integrity, confidentiality, and non-repudiation properties. Proposed protocols are free from attacks as they are formally verified using formal methods such as BAN logic.

Keywords: cloud computing; m-commerce; mobile commerce; Banking Community Cloud; BCC; Universal Integrated Circuit Card; UICC; wireless public key infrastructure; WPKI; end to end security; BAN logic; cloud security; authentication; integrity; confidentiality; non-repudiation.
