A framework for electronic commerce security

This paper suggests a framework that can be used to identify the security requirements for a specific electronic commerce environment. The first step is to list all the security requirements for run electronic commerce environment in general. Next, all participants need to be identified. This is followed bq the breaking down of the transactions into different autonomous actions. These actions are then mapped onto the participants involved, which serve as a model for the electronic commerce environment. This information is then used to identify the security requirements for a secure electronic commerce environment. The security requirements, in turn, are then used to develop the security architecture, consisting of appropriate security procedures and mechanisms and policy.
