    Study Notes

    E-commerce Security Concepts

    • Encryption in e-commerce refers to the process of converting plaintext data into unreadable ciphertext to protect it from unauthorized access.
    • Integrity in e-commerce ensures that data transmitted between the sender and receiver remains unchanged and unaltered.

    Confidentiality and Accountability

    • The main purpose of confidentiality in e-commerce is to protect sensitive information, such as credit card numbers and personal data, from unauthorized access.
    • Accountability in e-commerce is concerned with ensuring that individuals or organizations are responsible for their actions and can be traced back in case of any security breaches.

    Risks and Encryption

    • One of the risks associated with organizations performing e-commerce is the loss of sensitive data due to inadequate security measures.
    • The process of converting ciphertext to human-readable plaintext is known as decryption.

    Encryption Types and Hash Algorithms

    • Asymmetric encryption, also known as public-key encryption, encodes messages using mathematically related numeric keys: a public key and a private key.
    • Hash algorithms are a type of one-way function that takes input data of any size and returns a fixed-size string of characters, known as a message digest.

    Secure Information Transfer

    • The Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol provides secure information transfer through the Internet by encrypting data transmitted between the client and server.

    Data Analysis

    • The process of extracting patterns from data is called data mining.
