Trust and Risk in Internet Commerce

by L. Jean Camp

Book Overview

As Internet-based commerce becomes commonplace, it is important that we examine the systems used for these financial transactions. Underlying each system is a set of assumptions, particularly about trust and risk. To evaluate systems, and this to determine one's own risks, requires an understanding of the dimensions of trust: security, privacy and reliability.

Great book!

As both the manager of a small business and a frequent on-line purchaser, I found this book really helpful in understanding the technologies behind the websites I use --- and what they mean for risk in my transactions.
