Trust and Risk in Internet Commerce
L. Jean Camp
<http://mitpress.mit.edu/promotions/books/CAMTHF99>
As Internet-based commerce becomes commonplace, it is important that we
examine the systems used for these financial transactions. Underlying
each system is a set of assumptions, particularly about trust and
risk. To evaluate systems, and thus to determine one's own risks,
requires an understanding of the dimensions of trust: security, privacy,
and reliability.In this book Jean Camp focuses on two major yet
frequently overlooked issues in the design of Internet commerce
systems--trust and risk.
