Implementation Options
An electronic commerce implementation involves a choice of content standard, a choice of business process, and a choice of how information will be conveyed - implementation options. These can be combined in many ways. This section discusses the choices of transport and routing standards. These are used to move the payload - the actual data files - and ensuring the content privacy, authentication, integrity and non-repudiation.
