Payment Service and Fraud Detection in Uber Design

Our goal in this lesson is to highlight the need to secure the system against malicious activities. We’ll discuss fraudulent activities in the context of payment. We’ll first briefly go through how the payment system works, and then we’ll cover how to guard our system against malicious activity.

The payment service deals with the payments side of the Uber application. It includes collecting payment from the rider to give it to the driver. As the trip completes, it collects the trip information, calculates the cost of the journey, and initiates the payment process.
