Abstract

Online shopping is a major part of the overall electronic commerce, or e-commerce, industry which consists of all the buying and selling of goods and services over electronic systems such as the internet and other computer networks by households, businesses and other agencies. With the spread of the internet, the amount or trade that is conducted electronically has seen extraordinary growth; and has led to innovations and development in areas such as electronic funds transfer, electronic data interchange and internet marketing. Before the widespread introduction of the internet to the general public in 1994, the term electronic commerce referred to the use of technologies such as Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) and Electronic Fund Transfer (EFT), introduced in the late 1970’s, to facilitate business practices. With the rise of the World Wide Web many predicted that e-commerce would soon become a major economic sector, but security protocols such as HTTPS did not become secure enough for widespread use of such transactions until 1998.
