ECOM20002  Security, Ethics & Electronic Commerce Systems

This course will expose students to two interrelated fields of study as they relate to information technology. In an integrated way we will first look at the multi-faceted aspects of electronic commerce (e-comm). Secondly, we will investigate how security, including moral and ethical issues, is integral to the analysis and formulation of e-comm business solutions. This will include, but is not limited to topics of security control procedures, technologies including cryptography issues and firewalls, risks and risk assessment, Internet & Intranet associated risks, topology, and electronic checks & cash.

Access to the Internet is desirable but not mandatory.
