Introduction

 

The convergence of information technology and telecommunications has
provided a unique environment for business transactions. The unique benefits
offered by an e-business environment have motivated business organizations
to make huge investments in the requisite infrastructure for e-business.

 

The utilization of the e-business infrastructure has been affected by the
lack of trust among the users due to the vulnerabilities of the system. Such
vulnerabilities have been exposed by various security and other incidents by
the media. These vulnerabilities originate from various technologies that
form the conduit of interactions between the trading parties.  

 

A number of technologies are available that can reduce the vulnerabilities
of e-business infrastructure. However, mere deployment of these technologies
may not be able to enhance the levels of trust. Companies need to achieve
higher levels of assurance with respect to various technology-related issues
that have the potential to leverage technology for enhancing the levels of
trust. For this, it is imperative to define various technology-related trust
dimensions so that suitable strategies could be worked out.

 

Objective of the Book

This book will aim to provide relevant theoretical frameworks and the latest
empirical research findings in the area. It will be useful for professionals

technologies and trust in e-business. Its primary objective is to offer a
comprehensive checklist of not only various technology tools that should be
deployed for enhancing levels of trust, but also the associated policies and
procedures that can make the deployment of these technologies more
effective. Such a checklist can also serve as a set of benchmark practices
for organizations involved in e-business.
