To respond to this ongoing trends, enterprises have to deliver their new products and services fast and effective with minimal investments and maximal reuse of original assets. Outsourcing process is the very one solution for those requests. Among those outsourcing processes, like human resources outsourcing, accounting outsourcing, etc., information system outsourcing is the key one. Information system outsourcing has carried a new role in Internet industry, namely Application Service Provider, which delivers rentable services for outsourcers. Inside these various electronic commerce systems, the electronic payment systems are always the most critical and sophisticated part of the whole electronic commerce system. Many internet merchants are not capable of providing a secure online transaction environment due to the costly setup cost and administration efforts. Generic Payment Proxy Server is designed for solving this problem by offering electronic payment services and relative financial functions to internet merchants, which is indeed a payment service provider. The main considerations of this design are 1) security, there must not exist any security flaws in this system, 2) platform independent, GPPS is capable of receiving payments from any vendor's front-end merchant system, 3) scalability, GPPS must provide fast enough response speed for every single payment transaction and be able to scale up with the emerging transaction throughputs. GPPS provides commonly used payment protocols such as SET payment, SSL payment and Micropayment. The design and implementation of GPPS may achieve a positive effect for domestic enterprises to involve the electronic commerce trends. Not only does GPPS reduce the barrier for the enterprises to engage electronic commerce, but also increases the motivation and willingness of private sectors to incorporate with the governments to proceed the information revolution.
