Towards a Methodology for Formal Design and Analysis of Agent Interaction Protocols ——An Investigation in Electronic Commerce

Various extensions of UML have been developed to meet the challenges of designing modern software systems, such as agent based electronic commerce applications. Recent advances in model checking technology have led it to be introduced into the development of approaches and tools to check the correctness of electronic commerce protocols. This paper focuses on the research of a method that connects an extension of AUML to model checker SPIN/Promela for the specification and verification of agent interaction protocols (AIP) in electronic commerce. The method presented here allows us to combine the benefits of visual specification with the power of some static analysis and model checking. Some algorithms and rules are developed to permit all visual modeling constructs translated mechanically into some Promela models of AIP, as supported by the model checker SPIN. Moreover, a process is illustrated to guide the specification and verification of AIP. The method is demonstrated thoroughly using the e commerce protocol NetBill as an example.

Empirical Study of Consumers’ Purchase Intentions in C2C Electronic Commerce

Electronic commerce is becoming increasingly important in business, but lack of intention to purchase has become a main barrier in the development of electronic commerce. Thus, effective measures are needed to promote consumers’ intentions to purchase in online consumer to consumer （C2C） stores. This paper postulates that five factors, the perceived ease of use of the website, perceived usefulness of the website, vendor competence, introduction and recommendations of third parties, and vendors’ attitude toward customers, influence consumers’ intentions to purchase in online C2C stores and this intention directly leads to their action to purchase from online C2C stores. The structural equation modeling （SEM） method was used to analyze empirical data, supporting these hypotheses except for the effect of vendor competence.

Innovation and Evaluation of Technology Acceptance Model (Tam) in S-Commerce: A Case of Social Media Platforms in Ghana

Electronic commerce is quickly increasing in several countries, most notably in developing countries. A new electronic-commerce segment known as social commerce has evolved due to the popularity of social media. Consumer trust is important to social commerce success and impacts purchase choices. In modern times, majority of businesses have changed how from the traditional businesses and migrated to social commerce. Electronic commerce was the first of its sort, followed by social commerce, which conducted business via social networking platforms. Identifying the factors that influence social commerce use enables businesses to enhance those features and boost revenue. Thus, the purpose of this study was to examine how increased technology usage influences the social commerce activities of Ghanaian businessmen and women. A review of the literature resulted in the development of a conceptual model. Six hundred and twenty-five responses from Ghanaian enterprises and women who use e-commerce platforms were used to assess the conceptual approach. Partial Least Square Structural Equation Modeling (PLS SEM) was used to validate the model. The reliability and validity of the measuring apparatus were determined using measurement model analysis. To examine the model’s fit and assumptions, we used structural model analysis. Five hypotheses were supported by the structural model data. Effort Expectancy, Perceived Ease of Use, Performance Expectancy, Perceived Utility, and Trust were shown to be the most influential criteria affecting behavioral intention to use s-commerce in Ghana. The findings of this research have major significance for academics and practitioners of social trade.

Harnessing Internet finance with innovative cyber credit management

In the last two decades,Internet technologies,such as cloud computing,mobile communications,social media,and big data analytics,have brought tremendous changes to our society and reshaped the business in various industries.Specifically,the mushrooming innovations in the financial area fertilized by information and communication technologies indicates the advent of the Internet finance era.Applying the exploratory research approach,we investigate major innovative Internet-based financial services and classify them into five categories,as of e-commerce,e-payment,e-money market,online loan services,and digital currencies.Then we propose a market structure of Internet finance extended from the traditional financial market.We claim that credit management is the key issue in the marketplace of Internet finance,characterized by big data analytics,in which cyber credit appears as whole-process,multi-dimensional,and holographic.We further suggest that cyber credit be represented in the form of vector to overcome the limits of traditional single-value measure in cyber credit management.Based on this framework,we raise main research issues in Internet finance from the perspectives of theory,technology,and governance.

A Proxy Blind Signature Scheme Based on DLP

A proxy signature scheme allows an original signer to delegate his signing capability to a proxy signer who can sign on behalf of the original signer. A blind signature is the concept with a salient feature that the signer can not make a linkage between the blind signature and the identity of the requester. Proxy signature and blind signature are used widely in electronic commerce. With satisfying the security properties of both two signatures, a new proxy blind signature scheme based on discrete logarithm problem is proposed.

From Workflow to Interworkflow

Workflow management systems are being introduced in many organizations to automate the business process. The initial emphasis of introducing a workflow management system is on its application to the workflow in a given organization. The next step is to interconnect the workflow across organizations. We call it interworkflow, and the total support technologies, which are necessary for its realization, interworkflow management mechanism. Interworkflow is being expected as a supporting mechanism for Business to Business Electronic Commerce. We had proposed this management mechanism and confirmed its realization with the prototype. At the same time, the interface and the protocol for interconnecting heterogeneous workflow management systems has been standardized by the WfMC. So, we advance the project of the implementation of interworkflow management system for the practical use and its experimental proof.

Building an E-business System Using Enterprise JavaBeans Architecture

This paper provides an overview of using Enterprise JavaBeans to build an e-business system. First, the authors point out some difficulties during building an e-business sy stem. For example, how can we integrate all kinds of software and hardware i n company quickly and economically Then the authors introduce a representative EJB structure and currently EJB deve loping approaches. A representative EJB structure includes an EJB Server, EJB Co ntainers, EJB Clients and JNDI etc. An EJB Server is similar to CORBA ORB. It pr ovides system services such as original implementing environment, multiprocessin g, workload management, equipment accessing, JTS and JNDI service and making the EJB Container visible. The EJB Container plays the role of interface between th e EJB and others. An EJB Client never accesses Bean directly. There are two kind s of containers. One is session contain, it mainly includes brief, impermanent E JB(thus all statuses will not be saved). The other is entity container which inc luding permanent EJB. The EJB Client uses EJB Beans. First it finds EJB Containe r through JNDI interface. Then it transfers EJB methods using EJB Container. Current, EJB developing approaches include several major aspects such as develop ment, deployment, application programs assembling and management of Enterprise B ean etc. Above all, we should define three classes, Bean class, home interface c lass of Bean and remote interface class of Bean. Then we should create a deploym ent descriptor. This is an XML documentation, which declared the properties of E nterprise Bean and bound the class documentations of Bean(including stub documen tation and skeleton documentation). And then we put these deployments into a jar documentation and define environment properties in the deployer. Next, we shoul d assemble application programs including install Enterprise Beans to server and test the connecting of each ties. The program assembler integrates several Ente rprise Beans with other beans(like Servlet, Applet, Script etc) into an integrat ed application program. It also may integrate several Enterprise Beans into a co mplicated Enterprise Bean. Of cause we also need to manage the Enterprise Bean. In the end, the authors point out several major advantages of using EJB to build e-business system such as simplifying application development and deployment, supporting heterogeneous client and server platforms, leveraging existing skills and assets, delivering a secure, scalable, reliable and manageable environment and providing the freedom to implement using many vendors’ products.

Fair E-Payment Protocol Based on Simple Partially Blind Signature Scheme

This paper presents a simple partially blind signature scheme with low computation. By converse using the partially blind signature scheme, we build a simple fair e-payment protocol. In the protocol, two participants achieve the goals of exchanging their digital signatures from each other in a simple way. An ado vantage of this scheme is that this approach does not require the intervention of the third party in any case. The low-computation property makes our scheme very attractive for mobile client and smart-card implementation in many e-commerce applications.

A New Watermarking Protocol against Conspiracy

A trusted third party introduced in watermarking protocols would decrease the security and affect the implementation of the protocols. In this paper, a new watermarking protocol with an un-trusted third party （UTTP） was proposed. Based on the idea of all-or-nothing disclosure of secret （ANDOS）, all of the buyer, the seller and the third party didn＇t know the exact watermark, which was embedded in a digital content for tracing piracy. The proposed protocol provided mechanisms to trace piracy and protect customer＇s right. In addition, the problem that a seller colluded with UTTP to frame the buyer, namely, the conspiracy problem, could be avoided.
