Abstract: The rapid evolution of computing and communication technologies and their standardizations have made the boom in e-Commerce possible. Lowering of the cost of operation, increase in the speed of transactions and easy global reach to customers and vendors have been the reasons for the overwhelming popularity of this new way of commerce. Success of an e-Commerce rests on many factors. e-Commerce is widely considered the buying and selling of products over the internet but any transaction that is completed solely through electronic measures can be considered e-Commerce. e-Commerce is subdivided into three categories: Business to Business or B2B (Cisco), Business to Consumer or B2C (Amazon) and Consumer to Consumer or C2C (eBay) also called electronic commerce. One of the important contributors is trust. Trust is something that an e-Commerce must strive to achieve over a period of time. Acquiring customer trust depends on many things that an e-commerce controls. However, customer’s trust as such is not under the control of the e-Commerce. Then e-Commerce security is viewed as an engineering management problem and a life cycle approach is put forward. How the e-Commerce systems can be made secure using the life cycle approach is outlined.
