Implementing a Secure Electronic Transaction Platform with Data Encryption and Decryption Processes.
(A Case Study of an E-commerce web portal with an integrated payment system)
ABSTRACT
With the increasing popularity of internet, the e-commerce market where goods/products are being paid via an online medium has grown rapidly in recent past years, there is a glaring need for its payment information not to scrambled away or identified by unauthorised persons.
Encryption is the process of scrambling data within a communication system to make it unintelligible in such a way that the process can later be reversed by authorised people to reveal the original data by a data decryption process. Often the objective is to protect the confidentiality and integrity of data, because rarely a day goes by that one don’t hear of a data breach. Hospital records stolen, social media accounts hacked, bank details and information hacked and online credit card information stolen. Every industry, company and merchant is susceptible and at risk, that’s why the steady pace of breaches reinforces the need for an advanced encryption standard (AES) as a last line of defence.
In this proposed project, we shall be implementing a block level cipher encryption algorithm and technique where vital credit card payment information will be encrypted for a secure payment process and will be decrypted by an authorised administrator. An implementation of an online e-commerce portal where goods/products are showcase for purchase online, added to a shopping cart and checkout for payment via an integrated payment system.
This project showcases a real life scenario of an electronic transaction process with an encryption and decryption technique, and will be achieved within my limit as an undergraduate with limited programming capabilities and inexperienced analysis/design knowledge respectively.
