This review is from: Electronic Payment Systems (Artech House Computer Science Library) (Hardcover)
For those who are seeking the alternative topologies in Electronic Payment systems this book is a very good starting point with some very good references as well. Gives a good insight on the mechanisms as well. One downside is that too much emphasis is put on maths for security related subject compared to the general aim and tone of the book.

This review is from: Electronic Payment Systems (Artech House Computer Science Library) (Hardcover)
The only missing dimension in the book is the strategic/business aspects. The rest is brilliant. In particular, great description of the emerging payment mechanisms (ecash, digicash, cybercash, millicent...)

Not up-to-date!,

This review is from: Electronic Payment Systems for E-Commerce (Hardcover)
This book is from 2001 so it is definitely not up-to-date. In one table, it compares 25 different companies that offer payment options on the web but only 4 or so are even around. So I'd be wary about paying $88 for information that may not be too trustworthy. Seems geared more towards academics than professionals.
