Abstract

From the Publisher:As the Internet continues to transform commerce as we know it, the method of payment is one component that's critical to successfully conducting business across a network. Electronic Payment Systems offers the first comprehensive, up-to-date survey of the major payment schemes currently available — from a technical user perspective. Requiring only a basic familiarity with computing and networking, the book covers numerous Internet payment systems, including E-cash, SET (secure electronic transactions), FSTC electronic check project, and Millicent. It also identifies the properties unique to the various payment schemes, provides a working knowledge of the necessary cryptography, and explains the protocols involved. In eight concisely written chapters, you acquire the background you need to fully understand how each payment system works. If you deal with payment systems and financial software on a daily basis, this book does the homework for you. It saves you time by gathering and presenting timely information on today's most influential Internet payment systems — and helps you understand the key criteria for evaluating and selecting a system that's efficient, effective, and secure. This new book is a valuable resource for technical professionals in banking/financial services, the software industry, and sales organizations, as well as for users of Electronic Commerce systems. It addresses a wide range of needs by providing timely details that help you determine the state of the market, keep apprised of new developments, adopt the most appropriate systems, develop software, and sell goods across the Internet.
