Building Secure E-commerce Systems

Abstract:
Internet-based electronic commerce is ubiquitous in developed countries, with purchases, bill payment, and other online interactions becoming routine for many people. Although concerns about security and privacy exist, clearly there is enough trust in digital economy to ensure that electronic commerce continues to grow. But what does it take to build secure electronic commerce systems? The talk will start with the history of electronic commerce, outline main areas of security that need to be addressed when discussing secure e-commerce, evaluate privacy issues associated with e-commerce applications, explain common security features in standard transport and application protocols as well as security features in user-facing and back-end electronic commerce systems, address issues of usability and usage patterns, and conclude with implementation examples for various types of e-commerce systems.
