Electronic Commerce: An Overview of SET and other Technologies
Thursday, March 11
4:00 pm, AK 108
(refreshments at 3:45 pm)
Electronic Commerce is not an idea that will be realized in some distant
future but it is here today. The value of goods and services sold online
amounts to $40 billion in 1998 and is predicted to rise to $900 billion in
2003. In order to make shopping on the Internet secure several technologies
have been developed, most notably the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) proposed by
Netscape and Secure Electronic Transaction (SET) by Visa, MasterCard, GTE,
IBM and others. SSL is widely used and is about to be superseded by
Transport Layer Security (TLS) proposed by the Internet Engineering Task
Force (IETF). SET is currently being deployed. This presentation will
provide an overview of technologies for electronic commerce and discuss both
SSL and SET.
