Library Journal
Camp (government, Harvard Univ.) examines in detail how financial transactions succeed and fail on the Internet. She illustrates how to evaluate risk and reliability in current systems, how to protect oneself financially online, and where e-commerce might go. She specifically covers money, cryptography, threats, key management, privacy, data reporting, transactions, Internet commerce systems, Internet currencies, and the coming collapse in Internet commerce. By no means light reading, this is still highly recommended for large public and university libraries. Copyright 2000 Cahners Business Information.\
