Defining Security Services for Electronic Tendering
نویسندگان
چکیده
A major step is required to integrate critical legal requirements into e-tendering system design. The current systems using ad-hoc security mechanisms do not meet the legal requirements for forming a complex electronic contract. This paper analyses the etendering process and its legal obligations. The mapping of these obligations to security policies has identified a set of essential security services (mechanisms) for e-tendering systems, with particular emphasis on the contract forming process. These essential security services provide a promising solution for a reliable etendering system.

Infrastructure for Electronic Tendering Interoperability
To conduct business on the Internet, many problems should be solved. Examples of these problems are: security, authentication, heterogeneity, interoperability, and ontology problems. The diicult problem here is how to combine disparate information sources to integrate them in an open environment like Internet. Many approaches were invented to solve this problem. We discuss the problem in the do...
متن کاملSecure E-Tendering Using Identity Based Encryption from Bilinear Pairings
An electronic tender system (e-tender) streamlines the tender process and thereby saves time and cost. Security requirements for e-tendering systems have not been closely scrutinized in the literature. In addition to the security concerns of conventional e-tender systems—authentication, integrity, privacy, and non-repudiation are provided. This paper identifies key issues to be addressed in the...

متن کاملA Fair e-Tendering Protocol
Fairness in electronic tendering is of utmost importance. Current proposals and implementations do not provide fairness and are vulnerable to collusion and favouritism. Dishonest participants, either the principal or tenderer can collude to alter or view competing tenders which would give the favoured tenderer a greater chance of winning the contract. This paper proposes an e-tendering system t...
متن کاملA Semantically Enriched E-Tendering Mechanism
E-tendering is widely used in corporate and government purchasing in e-business practice. Existing etendering platforms cannot solve semantic interoperability problems between heterogeneous e-tendering systems. This paper proposes a novel semantic-enriched e-tendering (SEET) approach, which enables heterogeneous e-tendering systems to be semantically connected and interoperable by applying coll...
