Manjunath Ramachandra · IGI Global eBooks · 2010
The data transactions over a web based supply chain are prone to security threats as the internet is involved all the way. The internet happens to be an open forum easily accessible to the general public. It is quite possible that the data gets hacked or faked resulting in financial losses. Worse, it may not reach the intended recipient at all, defeating the purpose of the usage of the web. However, it should not be a cause of concern. With appropriate pre processing of the information getting uploaded on to the web, it should be possible to see that the data does not fall in to the wrong hands and reaches the intended recipients. The required tools and techniques are introduced in this chapter.
