DESCRIPTION:*Abstract:*\nIn this talk I will review developments in online
  and electronic payment in the last two decades.  Since the world-wide we
 b emerged in the early nineties we have seen dramatic changes in how we pa
 y\, including the proliferation of online payment\, the introduction of mo
 bile and contactless payment as well as the rise of bitcoin.   Security 
 is a key concern in the design and use of these payment methods\, but thes
 e cannot be understood without also considering legacy issues\, usability 
 concerns and business incentives.   I will start from a landscaping exerc
 ise conducted in 2015\, mapping the current online credit card payment sys
 tem.  I'll discuss the inherent vulnerabilities of the system\, the compe
 ting incentives of the many parties that are involved in payment and the r
 ole of PCI DSS and other approaches to resolve security challenges.  This
  talk exposes attendees to the relevant industrial standards and approache
 s\, introduces some cutting-edge research outcomes\, and provides insight 
 in the many competing concerns that impact on the online payment security.
 \n\n*Bio:*\nMohammed Aamir Ali is currently a Ph.D. research student at th
 e centre of cybercrime and computer security at Newcastle University\, UK.
  His research centres around exploiting the potential vulnerabilities in t
 he payment eco-system (i.e. NFC mobile payments\, payment applications and
  online payments). Understanding the insidious tactics targeting the world
  of cyber systems gives Mohammed an in-depth insight into the methods and 
 psychology of attackers. He has ongoing research which involves landscapin
 g the developments and security challenges in the ecommerce.
