Abstract	A lot of new applications in the field of electronic commerce require customers to pay small amounts of money to purchase low-value services, goods or pieces of information. These kinds of payments, called micropayments, provide a trade-off between efficiency and security requirements. In a previous work, we presented an efficient and secure micropayment scheme which fulfills both the security properties that guarantee no financial risk and the desired privacy for customers. In this paper we present a successful implementation of the scheme on the Android Platform and its performance evaluation to prove that the proposal is viable using current mobile devices. Several tests validate that our scheme can execute very fast payments with our simple but secure spending protocol, even when we need to use multiple tokens to pay for more expensive products. Moreover, we have proved that data storage requirements are low.
