E-Commerce Security

The Security is the major aspect in E-Commerce as the e-commerce is done over an open network called Internet.

In E-Commerce the Customer provides his credit card and other important details over the internet which may be stolen by an unauthorized person/hacker and can be misused.

For Example a customer has ordered for 100 quantities and it may convert into 1000 quantities during sending it to trader.

E-Commerce Security is classified same as Network Security into below four sections.

(1) Confidentiality

(2) Integrity

(3) Authentication

(4) Non-repudiation

(1) Confidentiality:

Confidentiality means security of Information, so that an unauthorized person can not read it.

Confidentiality can be achieved by cryptography.

In cryptography messages are sent into encrypted (changed) form between two parties.

(2) Integrity :

Integrity means the receiver will receive only the information which is actually sent to him by the sender.

By integrity if any one makes changes in the information/data, then it can be identified very easily.

By integrity we can overcome the problem of changes in order and payment.
