E-Commerce platform represents a computation environment for myriads of web buying and selling transactions on demand. Interestingly, the system architecture for e-commerce domain forms a vulnerable point for hackers and malicious users. Existing security modules have focused on the application front-end for users taking cognizance of the integration logic and the server back-end. Various encryption algorithms proposed to protect the users and the administrators are insufficient to address this challenge, hence this work that discuses and analysed a secured e-commerce design from a network perspective, that used Procedural Service Tagging Technique (PPTS ) as a technique that tags IP address labels of registered e-commerce users on the e-commerce server platform via a robust stateful firewall. An experimental testbed was developed for the e-commerce Network Operation Centre. In the setup, the Integrated Service Router (ISR) firewall monitors the ingress packets as well as the egress packets while obtaining information about the available IP tags on each of its interfaces. It was concluded that the PPTS is most accurate approach as it facilitates the collection of information from all possible sources at the highest possible frequency by the ISR firewall. This approach can be very efficient in terms of stateful monitoring on the e-commerce domain.
