Abstract

We argue that the true potential of the World Wide Web will not be fully unleashed until the web “becomes civilized,” by the implementation of assurance structures. These structures will complement means for concerns like privacy and transaction enablers like e-payment mechanisms. We first present our position, then we suggest and survey technical mechanisms to reach these goals, and show how these can be put together to provide a backbone (architectural framework) of civilized web commerce. Being a “position paper” we cannot hope to cover all the issues we touch upon in order to convey the needs and goals, neither do we attempt to provide a system design.
