  19. Web 2.0 Ajax Websites Carmax.com: A no-haggle auto retailer that sells quality used cars in over 100 stores nationwide Netflix.com: An online DVD rental service with home delivery and no late fees

  20. Marketing • How and why do customers shop online? • Brick-and-Mortar Shopping/Browsing and Traditional Ads influence Online Shopping • Online Shopping/Browsing and Internet Ads influence Brick-and-mortar Shopping • Most people use search engines to find online retailers or go directly to a known site • Banner ads, Facebook ads (community sites), affiliate marketing • CRMs (a total view of the customer)

  21. Customer Relationship Management System (CRM) • Track all contact with the customer • Enable up-selling and cross selling • Create more sales opportunities • Enable all employees to provide unparalleled service.

  22. Security • Cybercrime is becoming a big problem. • The Internet and Web are increasingly vulnerable to large-scale attacks (February 2007 – Verisign). • The Internet has been business driven and grown faster than security measures and practices have. • The Internet was not originally designed to be a global marketplace.

  23. Why is the Web such a Tempting Target? • Products, services, cash and information are in abundance • It’s less risky b/c you can do it anonymously • The Web lacks basic security features found in older networks (broadcast TV, telephone)

  24. The Top 5 Cyber Crimes are… • #5 – Phishing • #4 – Laptop/Mobile device theft • #3 – Nigerian Letter Fraud • #2 – Virus • #1 – Insider Abuse

  25. Key Dimensions of E-Commerce Security

  26. Potential Threats • Viruses, worms, bots, Trojan horses • Spyware • Phishing • Denial of Service (DoS) • Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) • Hackers • Spoofers (redirect your site)

  27. Two Main Lines of Defense • Technology Solutions • Encryption, Digital Signatures, Digital Envelopes • Secure Socket Layers (SSL) – encrypted session • Firewalls, Proxy Servers • Policy Solutions • Perform a risk assessment (rank your assets & risks) • Develop security policies • Develop an implementation plan • Create a security organization/team • Perform a security audit.

  28. Encryption • Reorganizes the content of a message so it can’t be understood • Uses a cipher or a key • Cipher: Substituting one symbol for another or transposing letters (easy to break) • Key: Mathematical formula that creates a string that must be decoded using the same key or another (harder to break)

  29. Types of Encryption Strategies • Symmetric Key: Uses the same key to encrypt and decrypt • Public Key Encryption: Uses a public and private key to encrypt (128 to 512 bits). • Digital Signature: uses hash digests and double encryption • Digital envelope: Encrypts a document with a symmetric key and a public key to encrypt the symmetric key • Digital Certificate: Issued by a third party that identifies you, contains your public key, a serial number, and an expiration date (to solve identity issues).

  30. Public Key Encryption

  31. Digital Signature

  32. Pros and Cons • Good security protects your customers • Attracts Customers • Keeps costs and bad publicity down • The more security, the more expensive • The more security, the more inconvenient

  33. Future of E-Commerce (my predictions) • Greater Security • Internet Content Providers (sell channels) • Product interaction online (cars, homes) • Interactive entertainment (Fahrenheit 451) • Ubiquitous E-Marketing (Minority Report) • Sale of B2C and C2C Services (i.e., Long Distance Education) will become global

  34. Getting a job in e-Commerce • Know one language or platform inside and out • Have a portfolio of at least one impressive project • Be focused on what you can give them • A technology degree isn’t of much value without knowledge and skills to back it up • Story: The MIS guy who didn’t get hired
