Security

Security is a significant issue for both consumers and suppliers of goods and services over the new interactive mediums. Some say that these mediums will not take off for the mass market unless this issue is first addressed. It is not just a technological issue. It is also one of instilling confidence in consumers in a non technical way against the backdrop of media scare stories of hackers and fraudsters. This section will look at the security issues and also provide pointers to web resources.

One issue is the need for customers to authenticate the supplier, and the supplier the customer. One method is to delegate this to a trusted third party .
