Previous research has shown that perceived security has an influence on customers’ acceptance of e-commerce and intention to purchase online. However, little research investigates the antecedent factors that influence that construct (i.e. perceived security). This paper aims to predict and test the factors that influence the customer’s perception of e-commerce security. A research model of the ...

Social aspects of security of information systems are often discussed in terms of “actual security” and “perceived security”. This may lead to the hypothesis that e-voting is controversial because in paper voting, actual and perceived security coincide, whereas they do not in electronic systems. In this paper, we argue that the distinction between actual and perceived security is problematic fr...

Web service technology is a new technology for the Internet in recent years, and is extensively taken as the important technology in the next generation dynamic e-commerce. But the dynamic e-commerce’s development speed is affected by itself security, that’s the web service security. In this paper, the backgrounds and concepts of dynamic electronic commerce are introduced, and then its security...

Acknowledgement I am greatly indebted to Omar El Sawy and Ann Majchrzak for their guidance and suggestion, and I would like to thank Ricky Lim and Raymond for their help with the data analysis. Abstract Consumers' trust in their online transactions is vital for the sustained progress and development of electronic commerce. Our paper proposes that in addition to known factors of trust such a ven...

Strangely enough, the Semantic Web has fallen behind the rest of the Web in terms of security. In particular, we note how TLS is not in use currently for the majority of URIs on the Semantic Web, and how existing Semantic Web standards need to be updated to take into account security best practices. We point out security and privacy flaws in WebID+TLS, and propose alternatives and solutions.

Web Services are regarded as the premier building blocks of Service-Oriented Architectures (SOA). Founding on specifications for basic communication patterns and message syntax, a lot of additional Web Service specifications that address non-functional requirements have been introduced. The most relevant specifications for these non-functional requirements deal with security aspects of Web Serv...

Security is a very important aspect for web service technology. Many people find the idea of creating security metrics to be a daunting task. Secure web service discovery aims at finding the best component services that satisfy the end-to-end security requirements between service consumer and service provider. The term "metrics or criteria" refers to specific objectives that have defined securi...
