E-Commerce Security and Privacy

by Anup K. Ghosh (Editor)

Overview

Welcome to the second volume of the Kluwer International Series on ADVANCES IN INFORMATION SECURITY. The goals of this series are, one, to establish the state of the art of and set the course for future research in information security and, two, to serve as a central reference and timely topics in information security research source for advanced and development. The scope of this series includes all aspects of computer and network security and related areas such as fault tolerance and software assurance. ADVANCES IN INFORMATION SECURITY aims to publish thor­ ough and cohesive overviews of specific topics in information security, as well as works that are larger in scope or that contain more detailed background information than can be accommodated in shorter survey articles. The series also serves as a forum for topics that may not have reached a level of maturity to warrant a comprehensive textbook treatment. The success of this series depends on contributions by researchers and developers such as yourself. If you have an idea for a book that is appropriate for this series, I encourage you to contact either the Acquisitions Editor for the series, Lance Wobus ([e-mail]), or myself, the Consulting Editor for the series ([e-mail]). We would be happy about to discuss any potential projects with you. Additional information this series can be obtained from www.wkap.nljseries.htmjADIS.

Editorial Reviews

Resulting from a workshop held in Athens, Greece in November 2000, this group of 8 papers is divided into case studies and innovations in reasoning about secure and private e-commerce by an international group of contributors. The case studies grapple with issues that include problems in policing e-commerce crime, security issues in mobile e- commerce, online banking, and software security analysis. Among the topics in the second part are a goal-based approach for specifying security and policy requirements, methods to provide secure and private access to Internet databases, a logic system used to define accountabilities in cryptographic protocols, and a logic system for provisional authorizations in e-commerce transactions.
