Second USENIX Workshop on Electronic Commerce
Strongboxes for Electronic Commerce
Thomas Hardjono and Jennifer Seberry
University of Wollongong
Abstract
As electronic commerce becomes a reality, additional services related
to electronic commerce will also emerge. The current paper proposes
the provision of electronic strongboxes as an integrated part of the
wider electronic commerce. The strongbox concept is introduced as an
electronic counterpart of physical strongboxes typically found in
large traditional financial institutions, such as banks, having secure
vaults or other secure physical storage. The work identifies some
requirements of electronic strongboxes both from the functionality
perspective and from the security point of view. A simple framework
for an electronic strongbox system is also presented.
