This course overviews the fundamentals of e-commerce security:
authentication, validity, confidentiality, privacy, and non-repudiation.

E-commerce security technologies, including cryptography, public-key
infrastructures, digital signatures, virtual private networks (VPN) and
website certification are examined. Internet security threats such as
viruses, worms, Trojan horses, and denial of service attacks will be
discussed along with the countermeasures used to control these threats.
The course also considers methods and protocols for secure electronic
payments, including Electronic Data Interchange (EDI), Secure Sockets
Layer (SSL) and Secure Electronic Transactions (SET) technologies, as
well as security issues underlying e-cash, smart cards, and other
electronic payment systems.
