Course Description:
Few developments promise to change our society more fundamentally than the
emergence of communications networking technologies. As distances and locations
vanish and borders dissolve against a backdrop of global information flow, more and
more consumers will be reachable electronically, and more and more significant
aspects of global commerce will be conducted on and via the services of the
networks-the so-called Information Superhighway. At the center of this frenetic
development is the concept of electronic money-electronic payment systems for
goods and services, movement of funds, etc. In other words, electronic money is what
will enable businesses to setup shop online, if they do so at all. Traditional forms of
payment systems are quite unsuitable for the network medium because of security
considerations, inefficiencies, taxation and local laws, or simply inapplicability.
Considerable research effort is being directed at devising different models and
schemes for electronic payment systems. In this course we will present the various
forms of current electronic money proposals, their strengths, weaknesses and
applications.
