e data and message security ensured in e-business via:
Encryption: This technology deploys a public key and a private key infrastructure to ensure security. The public key can be distributed but the private key remains only with the user and the service provider. So, it works just like the username and password system of your e-mail account.
Digital signatures: This technology requires a recipient’s password to decode the encrypted data. The sender’s authentication gets confirmed through a digital certificate, issued by credible authorities such as Verisign and Thawte.
Secure socket layers (SSL): This process involves both public key and digital certificate technologies to ensure privacy and authentication. To initiate the process, a client asks for authentication from the server, which is done through a digital certificate. Then, both the client and server design session keys for data transfer. The session will expire following any modification or prolonged period of inactivity.
Firewalls: This includes both software and hardware that protects the network against hackers and viruses. Installing premium quality anti-virus programs and spyware helps to fortify e-commerce protection from malicious threats.
Access control: Restricting user access to information on the site is an effective way to control the site’s security. Researches show that most e-commerce malfunctions occur due to users’ ignorance.
