Introduction
Many wallets today are clustered with several cards, cash & more.
Keeping track of all these items can be difficult .The E-Wallet will
provide all of the functions of today’s wallet on one convenient
smart card eliminating the need for several cards. The E-Wallet will also
provide numerous security features not available to regular wallet
carriers. Identification is required for every credit card transaction &
the card should be tampered with. These increased security measures
& convenience makes this a worthwhile project.
E-Wallet is a means of authentication & payment for device
independent e-payment instructions. Digital Wallet allows user to make
e-transactions quickly & securely. A E-Wallet functions much like a
physical wallet.It is a method of storing various forms of e-money(e-
cash),it has also evolved into a service that provides internet users with
a convenient way to store & use online shopping information.

Abstract
Using the basic concepts of Embedded Systems, an idea for changing
the future of Cards (Banking, Petro, Health, Televoice, etc.) is proposed
in this paper. Requirement of a special card reader, limited lifetime,
acceptance being the main disadvantages of today's traditional cards,
led to the design of e-Wallet. The main objective of e-Wallet is to make
paperless money transaction easier.
The main idea behind this paper is to bring in a cheaper, more
versatile and much more easily usable kind of a card. Using this e-
Wallet the transaction procedure can be as simple as: the customer
goes to the point of sale (POS), does the purchasing and when it comes
to the payment, the customer submits his e-Wallet to vender who
connects it to his terminal (PC).
The vender displays the billing information to the customer who
finalizes it. The amount in the e-Wallet is updated accordingly. Later at
periodic intervals, the vender intimates the bank (in case of credit
cards) which transfers the amount from the customer'(s) account to his.
The advantages of e-Wallet are its ease of use (doesn't require a
separate card reader), ease of maintenance, flexibility, safety, being the
primary ones.
The designing of the card is similar to any other embedded card. The
designing cost of the card (e-Wallet) being as low as the price of a

pizza. There are ample enhancements to this application from credit
cards to televoice cards. Unlike traditional cards which are application
oriented, all the applications' software can be embedded into this e-
Wallet which provides multi-functionality.
What Is An E-Wallet
Once you have been online for a few weeks or months, you will have an
online identity. You may need and use quite a few online passwords
and pins, along with personalized billing and shipping information. Not
only do you need to enter your personal and financial data at each site,
but you also have to remember and secure that information. An e-
wallet is a convenient, secure place to store data related to your online
identities. Once you start using one, you will wonder how you ever
managed without it.

Misconceptions
Many popular browsers, including Internet Explorer and Firefox have
some basic built-in e-wallet functions. However, storing your
information in a browser is not as secure as using a separate program
that is specifically designed for this task. In addition, if you change
browsers, you may not have access to your data. Browsers also store
your passwords in a separate location from your form data. In some
cases, you need an add-on to store personal data that you need for
completing forms. With few exceptions, these days, you will have a
separate email program where you store email addresses for your
contacts
Functions
E-wallets can store your passwords, credit card numbers, email
contacts and vital data like your driver's license or social security
numbers. You may have your personal data recorded in several
disparate locations, including your browser, spreadsheets, a PDA and
on paper. Not only is it inconvenient to manage your online experience
this way, but it can also be risky. Paper can get lost or waterlogged.
Trying to remember and update your email contacts and credit card
information can be overwhelming. An e-wallet allows you to unify and
store the information that you need. You will only need to remember
one password to unlock your encrypted data.

Features Of E-Wallet
A consumer e-wallet is a standalone software application that you can
download and install on your computer, PDA or Smartphone. Some of
the most popular e-wallet software programs also allow you to store
photos and maps. You can often customize the software's data entry
options to fit your needs. Many retailers also provide credit card data e-
wallets to their customers. These have limited features. They mainly
store billing and shipping information.
Consideration
Syncing and backup options are important. Keeping a file separate
gives you peace of mind and recovery options when you lose access to
the original files, or the device stops working. The option to use your
e-wallet on multiple electronic devices makes the software more useful.
To simplify your life, you should choose ane-wallet that you can run
from a USB flash drive, along with your Smartphone and a desktop or
laptop.
