SSL Vs. SET: Who Will Win?
A part of SSL (Secure Socket Layer) is available
on customers’ browsers
it is basically an encryption mechanism for order taking,
queries and other applications
it does not protect against all security hazards
it is mature, simple, and widely use
SET ( Secure Electronic Transaction) is a very
comprehensive security protocol
it provides for privacy, authenticity, integrity, and, or
repudiation
it is used very infrequently due to its complexity and the
need for a special card reader by the user
it may be abandoned if it is not simplified/improved

Payments, Protocols and Related Issues (cont.)
Security requirements
Authentication: A way to verify the buyer’s identity
before payments are made
Integrity: Ensuring that information will not be
accidentally or maliciously altered or destroyed,
usually during transmission
Encryption: A process of making messages
indecipherable except by those who have an
authorized decryption key
Non-repudiation: Merchants need protection
against the customer’s unjustifiable denial of placed
orders, and customers need protection against the
merchants’ unjustifiable denial of past payment

Digital Signature
Analogous to handwritten signature
Sender encrypts
a message with
her private key
A digital signature is
attached by a sender
to a message
encrypted in the
receiver’s public key
Any receiver with
senders public key
can read it
The receiver is the only
one that can read the
message and at the same
time he is assured that
the message was indeed
sent by the sender

Electronic Credit Card System
on the Internet (cont.)
The process of using credit cards offline
A cardholder requests the issuance of a
card brand (like Visa and MasterCard)
to an issuer bank in which the
cardholder may have an account.
A plastic card is physically delivered
to the customer’s address by mail.
The cardholder shows the card to a
merchant to pay a requested
amount. Then the merchant asks
for approval from the brand
company.
The acquirer bank requests the
issuer bank to pay for the credit
amount.
The authorization of card issuance
by the issuer bank, or its designated
brand company, may require
customer’s physical visit to an office.
The card can be in effect as the
cardholder calls the bank for
initiation and signs on the back of
the card.
Upon the approval, the merchant
requests payment to the merchant’s
acquirer bank, and pays fee for the
service. This process is called a
“capturing process”

Secure Electronic Transaction (SET)
Protocol
Sender’s Computer
1. The message is hashed to a prefixed length of message digest.
2. The message digest is encrypted with the sender’s private
signature key, and a digital signature is created.
3. The composition of message, digital signature, and Sender’s
certificate is encrypted with the symmetric key which is
generated at sender’s computer for every transaction. The
result is an encrypted message. SET protocol uses the DES
algorithm instead of RSA for encryption because DES can be
executed much faster than RSA.
4. The Symmetric key itself is encrypted with the receiver’s public
key which was sent to the sender in advance. The result is a
digital envelope.

Secure Electronic Transaction (SET)
Protocol (cont.)
Receiver’s Computer
5. The encrypted message and digital envelope are transmitted to
receiver’s computer via the Internet.
6. The digital envelope is decrypted with receiver’s private
exchange key.
7. Using the restored symmetric key, the encrypted message can be
restored to the message, digital signature, and sender’s
certificate.
8. To confirm the integrity, the digital signature is decrypted by
sender’s public key, obtaining the message digest.
9. The delivered message is hashed to generate message digest.
10. The message digests obtained by steps 8 and 9 respectively,
are compared by the receiver to confirm whether there was any
change during the transmission. This step confirms the integrity.

SET Vs. SSL
Secure Electronic Transaction (SET) Secure Socket Layer (SSL)
Complex
Simple
SET is tailored to the credit card
payment to the merchants.
SSL is a protocol for generalpurpose secure message
exchanges (encryption).
SSL protocol may use a
certificate, but there is no
payment gateway. So, the
merchants need to receive both
the ordering information and
credit card information, because
the capturing process should be
initiated by the merchants.
SET protocol hides the customer’s
credit card information from
merchants, and also hides the
order information to banks, to
protect privacy. This scheme is
called dual signature.

Mondex, VisaCash applied this approach
Either anonymous or onymous
CyberCash has commercialized a debit card
named CyberCoin as a medium of
micropayments on the Internet

Financial EDI
It is an EDI used for financial transactions
EDI is a standardized way of exchanging messages
between businesses
EFT can be implemented using a Financial EDI system
Safe Financial EDI needs to adopt a security
scheme used for the SSL protocol
Extranet encrypts the packets exchanged between
senders and receivers using the public key
cryptography

Electronic Cash and Micropayments
Smart Cards
The concept of e-cash is used in the non-Internet
environment
Plastic cards with magnetic stripes (old technology)
Includes IC chips with programmable functions on
them which makes cards “smart”
One e-cash card for one application
Recharge the card only at designated locations,
such as bank office or a kiosk. Future: recharge at
your PC
e.g. Mondex & VisaCash

Electronic Money
DigiCash
The analogy of paper money or coins
Expensive, as each payment transaction must
be reported to the bank and recorded
Conflict with the role of central bank’s bill
issuance
Legally, DigiCash is not supposed to issue more
than an electronic gift certificate even though it
may be accepted by a wide number of member
stores

26
Electronic Money (cont.)
Stored Value Cards
No issuance of money
Debit card — a delivering vehicle of cash in an
electronic form
Either anonymous or onymous
Advantage of an anonymous card
the card may be given from one person to
another
Also implemented on the Internet without
employment of an IC card

Electronic Money (cont.)
Smart card-based e-cash
Can be recharged at home through the Internet
Can be used on the Internet as well as in a nonInternet environment
Ceiling of Stored Values
To prevent the abuse of stored values in money
laundry
S$500 in Singapore; HK$3,000 in Hong Kong
Multiple Currencies
Can be used for cross border payments

28
Contactless IC Cards
Proximity Card
Used to access buildings and for paying in buses
and other transportation systems
Bus, subway and toll card in many cities
Amplified Remote Sensing Card
Good for a range of up to 100 feet, and can be
used for tolling moving vehicles at gates
Pay toll without stopping (e.g. Highway 91 in
California)

Integrating Payment Methods
Two potential consolidations:
The on-line electronic check is merging with EFT
The electronic check with a designated
settlement date is merging with electronic credit
cards
Security First Network Bank (SFNB)
First cyberbank
Lower service charges to challenge the service
fees of traditional banks
Visa
VisaCash is a debit card
ePay is an EFT service

How Many Cards are Appropriate?
An onymous card
is necessary to
keep the certificates for
credit cards, EFT, and
electronic checkbooks
The stored value in
IC card can be delivered
in an anonymous mode

Five Security Tips
 Don’t reveal your online Passcode to anyone. If you think
your online Passcode has been compromised, change it
immediately.
 Don’t walk away from your computer if you are in the
middle of a session.
 Once you have finished conducting your banking on the
Internet, always sign off before visiting other Internet
sites.
 If anyone else is likely to use your computer, clear your
cache or turn off and re-initiate your browser in order to
eliminate copies of Web pages that have been stored in
your hard drive.
 Bank of America strongly recommends that you use a
browser with 128-bit encryption to conduct secure
financial transactions over the Internet.

Managerial Issues
 Security solution providers can cultivate the opportunity of
providing solutions for the secure electronic payment systems
 Electronic payment system solution providers can offer
various types of electronic payment systems to electronic stores
and banks
 Electronic stores should select an appropriate set of electronic
payment systems
 Banks need to develop cyberbank services to be compatible
with the various electronic payment system
 Credit card brand companies need to develop an EC
standard like SET, and watch the acceptance by customers
 Smart card brand should develop a business model in
cooperation with application sectors and banks
 Certificate authority needs to identify the types of certificate to
provide
