Multi-party processes for Large-scale Electronic Commerce transactions.
Project Dates: From March 1998 to March 2000
Project Leader: Prof. Santosh Shrivastava
Sponsors: ESPRIT
The project will develop technologies and demonstrate prototypes for robust, scalable Business-to-Business electronic commerce operating securely over the open, public internet. The technology objectives are to enable e-commerce by developing:
- business protocols and a transaction management system for multiple phases of the life-cycle of a commercial transaction
- a credential authentication framework, between multiple parties, with a single authentication
- secure object services over different infrastructure
The user objectives are to demonstrate working solutions which overcome some of the key inhibitors to the large-scale take-up of business-to-business e-commerce.
