So then, what's the ideal Internet "store" from a security viewpoint?
How would you set up shop so that, say, somebody could browse a catalog
and then place an order, while both you and he stay protected (i.e., no
credit-card fraud, protection of your intellectual assests, etc.)?
Security issues are a big part of the discussion about doing EDI over the
Internet. Should they be as well for "retail" shopping as well?
For what it's worth, I ask partly because I'm interested and partly
because I'll probably be writing about this.
Thanks!
