Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

All business is now e-business, and industry leaders must deal with new and complex issues of security before they're robbed and tricked back to the Industrial Age. James Essinger covers the whys and hows of commercial-computer defence in Internet Trust and Security. This comprehensive manual should appeal to managers and executives who need an easily digestible guide to the reasons and basic mechanisms behind Information Age security. Since most of the important issues are related more to personnel than to technology, it is especially important that higher-ups take the problems seriously.

Essinger is unapologetically pro-Internet--on the first page of the introduction, he writes "The Internet revolution benefits everybody." Despite this, or possibly because of it, his writing is clear, focused and on track, as are the chapters contributed by Robert Coles and Paul Graham. Covering the nature of e-business, behavioural determinants of crime, investigation, authentication and public keys, the book quickly lays out the elements of online trust. Including sections written by security consultants from powerhouses such as Deloitte & Touche, the book offers confidence that these issues are well-understood and manageable. Though not all of the proposed solutions are easy, a concerted effort by well-informed management staff can avoid catastrophic losses of cash and, more importantly, consumer trust. --Rob Lightner



Product Description

    One of the main inhibiting factors which is currently slowing up the achievement of the potential offered by ecommerce throughout most industrial and commercial sectors is the problem of trust and confidence - the virtual nature of the Internet makes traditional authentification and verification methods impossible. Therefore, in any ecommerce transaction, whether b2c or b2b, each party has to take it on trust that the other party is who they say they are.

    Therefore, applications and technology which create confidence in this ability are major enabling factors in the growth of ecommerce - whilst Internet security technologies are a part of this process in facilitating secure transactions and exchange of information, they do not address the issue of trust and identity - while the transaction may be safe and secure, there is still the question of verifying the identity of the parties involved.
     This book explains the problem and dilemma of creating and implementing trust in an ebusiness environment, and then goes on to describe the solutions available and the various technologies and tools which enable these.
    Internet trust and security is vital reading for anyone who runs an e-business and provides a comprehensive understanding of the key concepts of trust and security over the internet whilst detailing exactly how to address these issues.
      It provides:
    • Essential guidance on solving problems of security and authentication, enabling businesses realise the full potential of the Internet.
    • Detailed case studies based on completely original research fromindustry and commerce.
    • Detailed information about key vendors of solutions.
