Electronic Data Interchange (EDI)


EDI is the transfer of data between different companies using networks. This facilitates the exchange of standard business documents including purchase orders and invoices. EDI is not new; it has been in existence since the 1960s. Organizations that exchange EDI transmissions are called trading partners. Newer technologies such as XML and Web Services are replacing traditional EDI by allowing trading partners virtually unlimited opportunities to customize their information exchange over the Internet.

Micropayments
Small amounts of currency are exchanged over the Internet.
http://www.peppercoin.com/
When digital and physical merchants deploy Peppercoin, consumers can use their debit and credit cards for purchases of any size. For example, a consumer can pay for a parking meter, purchase a digital news article for $0.50, or buy a pack of gum from the corner store for $0.75.

E-Commerce Security
Encryption
Used to ensure privacy within an organization and on the Internet. The conversion of data into an unreadable form, called a ciphertext. This ciphertext cannot be easily understood by unauthorized individuals.

Decryption
The process of converting the ciphertext back into its original form, called plaintext or cleartext, so it can be understood.

The encryption/decryption process requires an algorithm and a key.


2007 Pearson Education
38

Encryption is needed because information in a packet can be intercepted as it travels across media.

2007 Pearson Education

E-Commerce Security Encryption Types


Secure E-Commerce transactions make use of the encryption technologies below: Symmetric-key Encryption Asymmetric-key Encryption Hash Encryption These technologies are used as part of SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) the technology that helps to make commerce on the Internet secure.
2007 Pearson Education
40

E-Commerce Security Types of Encryption(1)


Symmetric-Key Encryption

Also called single-key encryption. Both the encryption and decryption use the same key. Since the key must be kept secret from others, both the sender and receiver must know the key before communicating using encryption. An advantage of symmetric-key encryption is speed.
2007 Pearson Education
41

E-Commerce Security Types of Encryption(2)


Asymmetric-Key Encryption Also called public-key encryption. There is no shared secret. Instead, two keys are created at the same time. This key pair contains a public key and a private key. Public-key encryption is much slower than symmetric-key encryption.
2007 Pearson Education
42

E-Commerce Security Types of Encryption(3)


Hash Encryption A hash algorithm transforms a string of characters into a usually shorter fixedlength value or key that represents the original string, called a digest. Hash encryption is one-way encryption. Hash encryption is used for information that will not be read or decrypted. The function of hash encryption is to verify the integrity of information.
2007 Pearson Education
43

Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)


SSL is a protocol that allows data to be privately exchanged over public networks. SSL was developed by Netscape and is used to encrypt data sent between a client (usually a web browser) and a web server. SSL utilizes both symmetric and asymmetric keys. SSL uses the https protocol instead of the http protocol Most browsers display a lock icon when SSL is being used.
2007 Pearson Education
44

Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)


SSL provides secure communication between a client and server by using:
Server and (optionally) client digital certificates for authentication Symmetric-key cryptography using a "session key" for bulk encryption Public-key cryptography for transfer of the session key Message Digests (hash encryption) to verify the integrity of the transmission

2007 Pearson Education

45

SSL in Action

46

SSL & Digital Certificate


SSL enables two computers to securely communicate by using a digital certificate for authentication.

A digital certificate is a form of an asymmetric key that also contains information about the certificate, the holder of the certificate, and the issuer of the certificate.
2007 Pearson Education
47

Digital Certificate
The contents of a digital certificate include:
The public key Effective date of the certificate Expiration date of the certificate Details about the Certificate Authority -- the issuer of the certificate Details about the certificate holder A digest of the certificate content
2007 Pearson Education
48

Certificate Authority
A Certificate Authority is a trusted third-party organization or company that issued digital certificates. Well-known Certificate Authorities:
Verisign

Thawte
http://www.thawte.com
2007 Pearson Education
49

Obtaining a Digital Certificate


Request a certificate from a Certificate Authority and pay the application fee. The Certificate Authority:
verifies your identity, issues your Certificate, and supplies you with a public/private key pair.

Store the certificate in your software such as a web server, web browser, or email application. The Certificate Authority makes your certificate publicly known.
2007 Pearson Education
50

SSL & Digital Certificates


When you visit an e-commerce site that uses SSL, a number of steps are involved in the authentication process.
The web browser and web server go through initial handshaking steps using the server certificate and keys. Once trust is established, the web browser encrypts the single secret key (symmetric key) that will be used for the rest of the communication. From this point on, all data is encrypted using the secret key.
