Building an E-Commerce Trust Infrastructure |

|
Businesses that can manage and process e-commerce transactions can gain a competitive edge by reaching a worldwide audience, at very low cost. But the Web poses a unique set of trust issues, which businesses must address at the outset to minimize risk. Customers submit information and purchase goods or services via the Web only when they are confident that their personal information, such as credit card numbers and financial data, is secure.
The solution for businesses that are serious about e-commerce is to implement a complete e-commerce trust infrastructure. PKI cryptography and digital signature technology, applied via Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) digital certificates, provide the authentication, data integrity, and privacy necessary for e-commerce. Internet payment gateway systems provide online merchants with the ability to efficiently and securely accept and process a variety of online payments from customers.
