Ecommerce system today is under constant evolution and the categories of application continue with their expansion. Ecommerce now means consumer based ecommerce with web based stores and auctions forming the core of its business. Ecommerce is also a part of digital products, web content, transaction payments and catalogues presentation and download. Traditional use of ecommerce continues to dominate through B2B commerce, focused advertising and business networks.

Evolution of ecommerce is witnessing the communication channels, social networking sites and Blogs mergers with ecommerce techniques. As technology moves closer to each other as in the case of telecommunications and computing, the growth of industrial sectors will continue and move closer to ecommerce utilization.

Every industrial activity and transaction is linked to computing and ecommerce has become an integral part of the automation strategy. Ecommerce has moved from dedicated system to heterogeneous environments running on multiple devices.

Given the ecommerce growth expectation, the focus returns to security. Success of ecommerce depends on formulating a system wide security network. It needs active involvement of stakeholders, introduction of ciphers, and management of user credentials from protecting user privacy. Introduction of multiple devices have formed a gap in the security and protection factors. A methodology to introduce uniformity in device protection through identification of weak links must be explored. Regulations and usability factors must be extensively studied to ensure a smooth growth and worry free ecommerce transaction environment.
