Security of internet transactions – results of a survey

Abstract

Security of Internet transaction is very important. It is not only the installed software, type of hardware used and the protection used by service providers (shops, banks, etc.) that influences the level of security; the behaviour of users (the parties of transactions, account holders, etc.) plays an importance role too. The overall level of security is influenced by many complementing actions. This chapter presents results of a survey conducted among students on the security of Internet transactions. Its aim was to assess students’actions in this field.
