Regarding the development of mobile technology, it seems essential to have a payment protocol which provides the required security features along with an acceptable efficiency in mobile environment. This article introduces an anonymous payment protocol based on secure wireless payment protocol (SWPP). Contrary to SWPP, this protocol manages to provide anonymity and privacy of the customer. This protocol uses a blindly signed pseudo digital certificate and anonymous bank account in order to protect the customer's identity. The proposed protocol was simulated, and then its security and efficiency features were compared to those of other protocols. The comparison proves that this protocol covers all security features required by a secure payment system. Moreover, it is more efficient than other protocols.
