Abstract

In this paper, we overview the current state-of-the-art and future trends in network security and argue that the secu-rity requirements of electronic commerce (e-commerce) applications generally go beyond the more traditional requirements of network security. This is particularly true for the requirements that address the complexity and availability of cryptographic applications, the anonymity of participating peers, the autonomy of mobile code, the manageability of trust, and the necessity for intellectual property protection. Based on these additional require-ments, we point out some areas for further study and pro-pose a corresponding research agenda for security in e-commerce.
