The Campus Pay: Offline Payment System Using RFID Technology for Campus Transactions

Abstract

The Campus Pay system integrates RFID-enabled ID cards to allow for cashless payments on campus. This approach meets the need for safe offline transactions in domains with unpredictable internet availability. After the RFID enabled cards save transactions, when connectivity is restored transactions are then synchronized with a cloud based system. The paper describes the architecture, design and implementation of Campus Pay, focusing on how RFID is integrated with current infrastructure and how cloud data analysis is used in transaction monitoring.
