Abstract: Long term evolution direct, plus its features of device-to-device networking and proximate discovery, are new and emerging technologies able to come out of the shadow to render a whole new perspective at mobile payments. In this work, we propose a new mobile payment system using long term evolution direct and its features. A sensitive mobile payment system would require high security requirements in order to be trusted by the users and the businesses. These requirements are taken into account in our proposed system design and solutions to security considerations are provided. The system’s security and usability features are designed for implementation from physical to application layer to address the identified issues. Within the scope of this work, we provided the conceptual design solutions to allow the system to be as solid and secure as possible while they are convenient enough not to degrade user’s experience when using the system
