Using mobile devices to make secure and reliable payments for store or online purchases

Payment systems currently in vogue (credit / debit cards) use a form of identity applicable only to a specific payment network (card number). This prevents the aggregation of one's payment options, and exposes the sensitive account information to the relatively insecure parts (merchant locations) of the transaction chain.This invention introduces an alternative platform for payments by aggregating the different identities under one. It proposes to use one's cellphone number as that identity. A set of configurable rules defined by the user let him / her choose the appropriate method of payment at the point of sale. The invention is a set of software and hardware components that work together to create a secure, robust and easy-to-use payment system. It also allows for fraud detection at the time it is being committed.The advantage of this system is that it lets the users pay for their purchases only using their mobile phone.
