Certification and Security in Inter-Organizational E-Services presents the proceedings of CSES 2004 - the 2nd International Workshop on Certification and Security in Inter-Organizational E-Services held within IFIP WCC in August 2004 in Toulouse, France. Certification and security share a common technological basis in the reliable and efficient monitoring of executed and running processes; they likewise depend on the same fundamental organizational and economic principles. As the range of services managed and accessed through communication networks grows throughout society, and given the legal value that is often attached to data treated or exchanged, it is critical to be able to certify the network transactions and ensure that the integrity of the involved computer-based systems is maintained. This collection of papers documents several important developments, and offers real-life application experiences, research results and methodological proposals of direct interest to systems experts and users in governmental, industrial and academic communities.

This volume contains the final proceedings of the special stream on security in E-government and E-business. This stream has been an integral part of the IFIP World Computer Congress 2002, that has taken place from 26-29 August 2002 in Montreal, Canada. The stream consisted of three events: one tutorial and two workshops. The tutorial was devoted to the theme "An Architecture for Information Se curity Management", and was presented by Prof. Dr. Basie von Solms (Past chairman of IFIP TC 11) and Prof. Dr. Jan Eloff (Past chairman of IFIP TC 11 WG 11.2). Both are from Rand Afrikaans University -Standard Bank Academy for Information Technology, Johannesburg, South Africa. The main purpose of the tutorial was to present and discuss an Architecture for Informa tion Security Management and was specifically of value for people involved in, or who wanted to find out more about the management of information secu rity in a company. It provided a reference framework covering all three of the relevant levels or dimensions of Information Security Management. The theme of the first workshop was "E-Government and Security" and was chaired by Leon Strous, CISA (De Nederlandsche Bank NY, The Netherlands and chairman of IFIP TC 11) and by Sabina Posadziejewski, I.S.P., MBA (Al berta Innovation and Science, Edmonton, Canada).

While buying and selling goods and services once necessitated a face-to-face transaction, much of the commerce we now undertake is completely electronic. Recent advances in electronic and mobile commerce, precipitated by innovations in technology and user acceptance, have led to subsequent changes in individual and organizational behavior. E-Commerce Trends for Organizational Advancement: New Applications and Methods gathers essential research on the changing face of commerce, investigating the development, delivery, and perception of e- and m- commerce systems and tools.

"This book compiles estimable research on the global trend toward the rapidly increasing use of information technology in the public sector, discussing such issues as e-government and e-commerce; project management and information technology evaluation; system design and data processing; security and protection; and privacy, access, and ethics of public information technology"--Provided by publisher.

"This book offers research articles focused on key issues concerning the technologies and applications of electronic commerce"--Provided by publisher.
