Product Description

"SET" (Secure Electronic Transactions) is the electronic payment protocol recently selected by VISA, MasterCard and other major credit card companies as the new global standard for ensuring security and confidentiality when linking credit card holders, merchants, and financial institutions conducting business over the Internet. This detailed, yet reader-friendly guide to understanding this sophisticated technology will be one of the first -- if not the first -- books on this hot topic and is "must reading" for programmers and business managers who need to know how SET will impact their businesses.

Authored by a well-known conference speaker and writer for leading computer magazines, the book provides readers with a working knowledge of what electronic commerce is, and the various payment and security systems that have led to online credit card commerce, familiarity with the cryptographic extensions utilized by the SET system, the technical details behind SET, from purchase initiation, through certificate management, to data transport protocols, programming examples and computer code for constructing and rolling out a SET system.

The book includes a bound-in CD-ROM with a working demonstration of electronic commerce using the SET protocol, and ready-made protocol routines that programmers can use as a guide for SET implementation.
