Abstract
Are you apprehensive about sending your credit card number to a website? Is there a CD or book you decided not to buy because the seller required you to use Visa or MasterCard on the Internet? Well, you are certainly not the only person who doesn’t trust the web. Many people around the world still do not take advantage of the efficiencies of e-commerce because they do not have confidence in the security of online transactions. But you might be surprised to find out that sharing confidential information through the web is actually one of the most secure transactions ever devised. If you take some elementary precautions, such as having nothing to do with sellers who are not known to you and not sending confidential information by normal (i.e. non-encrypted) email, the world of e-commerce is at your fingertips.
