The major factors are security, authentication, confidentiality and integrity to which have to be focused successfully achieve M-commerce to be challenging one. In existing concepts, the lot of security and authentication schemes is provided. Even though, they need more authentication and security for the mobile purchasing, mobile payment and mobile banking schemes. The proposed system consists of biometric fingerprint authentication, using fuzzy logic to verify the fingerprint, find out the fingerprint threshold level. Based on the fingerprint threshold level the more authentications is provided by SMS authentication and One Time Password (OTP). Service provider (merchant) authentication, double encryption model, RC4 algorithm for encryption. Amalgam encryption (3-DES+RC4) is used for secure PIN distribution process. This amalgam encryption is increasing the secrecy values. The proposed RC4 algorithm has an improvement factor of 76.2% over AES algorithm. Amalgam encryption is better than other Block Cipher and Stream Cipher algorithm. This leads to the more security and authentication in mobile purchasing and payment process. ER -
