Securing Electronic Commerce: Applied Computer Security or Just Common Sense
Clifford Neuman, University of Southern California
Internet commerce has made security critical and organizations finally recognize the need to provide security. Because electronic commerce often involves access to privileged data by customers, it is harder to secure these applications than traditional ones. Authentication, authorization, and encryption can be used to secure computers and communication channels, but there will always be vulnerabilities at the end points; attackers will break into the service provider's and end user's systems to steal or modify data. Once these basic security techniques have been applied, the greatest improvements in security can be obtained through the common sense technique of partitioning protected data so that authoritative and highly sensitive data is stored on computers that aren't directly connected to the internet. In this talk Dr. Neuman will describe the application of distributed system security techniques and data partitioning to the development electronic commerce applications.
