Question

List and discuss the Basic EC security issues and terminology (e-business)

Answer 1

The security issues of the E-Commerce (EC) are as follows:

· Privacy: Information exchange must be kept from unauthorized parties,

· Integrity: The exchange of information in the process must not be altered or tampered with,

· Authentication: The parties in the EC should be authenticated like sender and receiver to know the identities of each of the individual in the process,

· Non-repudiation: Proof is required that exchange of information is received to make the EC transactions complete.

If the EC don’t find the authentication it has to do Denial of services (DoS) for the process and inform the needed parties of the breach. Hence, to ensure that the DoS for the processes are kept intact it has to find a good deal of authentication based on the EC parties in the process to ensure the security of the transactions.
