Topic Interest This topic is very interesting in that business is now leaning towards being conducted in an e-commerce setting. Unfortunately, people still seem to have great concern over the security aspect of doing business through e-commerce. It will be interesting to see what types of security we can count on as we lead into a future with e-commerce being the way to do business. 7
Topic Definition I believe this outline addresses the necessary issues that one would be curious about when dealing with ecommerce. Issues that would reassure the public as far as doing business through ecommerce seem to be covered in this outline. 6
Topic Feasibility I do believe the topic as outlined is doable in the time allocated to us. 6
Strengths The strengths in this outline are probably those listed in Creating Trust in On-line sales. Authentication, Identification and Authorization are definately topics that need to be strongly addressed. 6
Deficiencies I really did not find points that were absolutely worse as compared to others. I think all of the topics covered in this outline need to be addressed in order to give a well rounded overview of the issues of building trust when dealing with sales in the world wide web. 5
Improvement I am not quite sure if the information addressed in this outline will be sufficient in order to make a long enough paper. There might be additional areas about establishing trust that could be covered, such as what methods companies are using to persuade their customers that their personal information is used appropriately.
