VAN based theoretical EDI framework to enhance organizational data security for B2B transactions and comparison of B2B cryptographic application models [ ]


Cryptography is a very powerful tool for Business-to-Business (B2B) data transaction security. The overall volume of B2B transactions is much higher than the volume of Business-to-Consumer (B2C) transactions and data security is very important due to volume and value of data in B2B transactions. Organizations that use cryptographic data security models to enhance security for business transactions deal with variety of unauthorized data manipulation problems. Researchers have proposed variety of cryptographic solutions to enhance security for B2B transactions. Companies should include cryptographic security models into organizational security policy to enhance security for transactions. This research paper highlights the detailed comparison of pros and cons of available cryptographic methods used to enhance security for B2B transactions and proposing theoretical Value Added Network (VAN) based Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) framework in order to enhance security between B2B transactions.
