Abstract
The explosion of public interest in the Internet
in the last few years has been truly phenomenal. Net
awareness has reached into every corner of society; this
coming together of people from around the world has created
a new community that crosses social and national
boundaries. The growth of the Internet and World Wide
Web usage has been fueled by increasing commercialization
of the network. A number of surveys and reports have
identified the lack of a secure payment scheme as the main
inhibitor of Web commerce. The problem lies in the nature of confidentiality. SET makes use of Netscape's Secure the Internet itself. It was conceived as a way to link different Sockets Layer (SSL), Microsoft's Secure Transaction networks together, providing global public access with
minimal central control and bureaucracy. It has achieved
these objectives very successfully; however, security suffers
as a result.
