Design and evaluation of adaptive secure protocol for E-commerce
Sung Woo Tak, Yugyung Lee, Eun Kyo Park, Jerry Stach · 2002
As Internet business exponentially grows, the need for high security level categories to identify groups of connections or individual transactions is manifest. The development of an efficient and secure communication protocol seems to be highly demanding. We propose the adaptive secure protocol to support secure E-commerce transactions. Our adaptive secure protocol dynamically adapts the security level based on the nature and sensitivity of the interactions among participants. The security class incorporates the security level of cryptographic techniques with a degree of information sensitivity. We implement the adaptive secure protocol and measure its performance. The experimental results show that the adaptive secure protocol provides E-commerce transactions with high quality of security service.
