Architecture and Design of a Secure Electronic Marketplace

چکیده
Backed by the European Commission, a consortium of partners from European industry, financial institutions, and academia has embarked on a research project to develop the fundamentals of secure electronic commerce. The goal of the ACTS Project SEMPER (Secure Electronic Marketplace for Europe) is to provide the first open and comprehensive solution for secure commerce over the Internet and other public information networks. SEMPER’s flexible open architecture is based on a model of electronic commerce which comprehends a business scenario as a sequence of transfers and fair exchanges of “business items”, which are payments, data, or rights. This is reflected in the architecture: The exchange and transfer layer handles transfers and fair exchanges of items. The commerce layer provides methods for downloading certified commerce services and the necessary trust management. The commerce services implement the terms of business of a seller using the exchange and transfer layer services. A prototype of this architecture implemented in the Java programming language will be trialed for sales of multimedia courseware (EUROCOM, Athens, GR), on-line consultancy and subscriptions (FOGRA, München, D) as well as mail-order retailing (Otto-Versand, Hamburg, D). It will integrate the payment systems SET (provided by IBM), Chipper (provided by KPN Research), and ecash (provided by DigiCash)). The prototype uses a distinguished user-interface for trustworthy user inand output which enables to use SEMPER on secure hardware.
