Abstract
Credit and debit card data theft is one of the earliest forms of cybercrime. Still, it is one of the
most common nowadays. Attackers often aim at stealing such customer data by targeting the
Point of Sale (for short, PoS) system, i.e. the point at which a retailer first acquires customer
data. Modern PoS systems are powerful computers equipped with a card reader and running
specialized software. Increasingly often, user devices are leveraged as input to the PoS. In these
scenarios, malware that can steal card data as soon as they are read by the device has flourished.
As such, in cases where customer and vendor are persistently or intermittently disconnected from
the network, no secure on-line payment is possible. This paper describes FRoDO, a secure offline
micro-payment solution that is resilient to PoS data breaches. Our solution improves over up
to date approaches in terms of flexibility and security. To the best of our knowledge, FRoDO is
the first solution that can provide secure fully off-line payments while being resilient to all
currently known PoS breaches. In particular, we detail FRoDO architecture, components, and
protocols. Further, a thorough analysis of FRoDO functional and security properties is provided,
showing its effectiveness and viability.
