ABSTRACT
The incredible growth of Internet usage has shifted routine
business transactions from fax machine and telephones to
e-mail and e-commerce. This shift can be attributed in part
to the economical worldwide connectivity of the Internet
but also to the Internet capacity for more sophisticated
types of transactions. Security professionals must under-
stand the issues and risks associated with these transactions
if they want to provide viable and scalable security solu-
tions for Internet commerce.
