Payment system in the disaster area is essential for people to buy necessary amenities, like groceries, clothing, medical supplies. However, due to the lack of infrastructures in disaster areas, existing payment systems cannot be applied directly to such scenarios because they either require direct connection to the payment authorities or cannot prevent fraudulent transactions. In this paper, we propose a mobile payment system by adopting infrastructureless mobile ad-hoc networks (MANETs), which can allow users to purchase amenities in disaster areas while providing secure transactions. Specifically, we propose an endorsement-based scheme to verify each transaction and location information based monitoring scheme to achieve transaction validity and reliability. By employing blind signature and one-time session token techniques, our mobile payment system can also prevent double spending and replay attacks.
