=head1 DESCRIPTION
B<Apache::Centipaid> is a mod_perl Authentication handler used in
granting access to users wishing to access paid web services, after
making payment on centipaid.com which process micropayments using
internet stamps.
Centipaid.com offers websites the flexibility to charge small amounts
of money, also refered to as B<micropayment>, to users wishing to
access to their web services without the complexity of setting up
e-commerce enabled site, or to deal with expensive credit card
processing options. Users benefit from not having to reveal their
identity or credit card information everytime they decide to visit a
website. Instead, centipaid allows users to simply pay using
a pre-paid internet stamp, by simply uploading the stamp to centipaid's
site. The stamps are valid in all sites using centipaid.com payment
system.
To access a site, recipts are issued by centipaid and are used to track
valid payments. This information is captured and processed by the
Apache::Centipaid module. The information is then stored locally to
any SQL database installed. The module relies on DBD/DBI interface
so as long as the database has a DBD interface installed under Perl,

Apache::Centipaid allows content and service providers to seamlessly accept
micro payments from online visitors without changing their website design.
The micro payment system relies on specially designed internet stamps which
are used by their visitors to make payments online quickly and securely. Paying
with an Internet stamp is secure and easy, there are no usernames, or
password to enter. No financial or personal information is used or transmitted
while making a payment. When paying with an internet stamp, a user only provides
the stamp itself. There is no need to provide a credit card number or any other
form of identification
Internet stamps
---------------
Internet stamps are specially crafted electronic images containing encrypted
information required for clearing payments through Centipaid. The stamps are
assembled using our patent-pending process to create steganographically encrypted
stamps used in making secure and anonymous micro payments online.
Each internet stamp is unique from an electronic point of view, having an
individual serial number. Each one is treated as a virtual pre-paid card and
is uploaded to Centipaid whenever payment is requested. This parallels the
swiping of a credit cards through a card reader at a physical store location.
By uploading the stamp, there is no need to remember, enter, or jot down
usernames, passwords, or credit card numbers.
