Abstract

One of the key issues emerged in the process of transforming a traditional business into an electronic one is the security problem. Compared with tradition paper-aided transaction, information has to be transferred through public Internet network under the electronic environment. The record media of e-commerce has changed from paper to magnetic media. The characteristics that the information recorded on magnetic media can be easily copied, deleted and modified, and the openness of Internet result in that e-commerce information can be easily leaked, tampered, counterfeited and denied. In order to develop e-commerce, the confidentiality, integrity and authentication of e-commerce transaction data must be ensured. The technologies used to handle these issues mainly come from cryptography, and they include such technologies as encryption, authentication, hash, digital signature, firewall, intrusion detection etc. This chapter gives a brief description on those mentioned technologies which gives a basic understanding of how they work so that we can consciously apply these technologies to protect the security of e-commerce during the business process.
