How to make Commercial Transactions in a Secured Way? – The Protocol of security

Commerce is the route paved for businesses to grow and flourish; reaching out to ‘over-the-boundary’ target consumer, discerning the global expectations, to adapt and evolve, and strategize for the changing scenarios. Commerce is about exchange either for money or goods and; commercial transaction has evolved in a new avatar in the fast-spreading web-medium. How to make commercial transactions in a secured way, so that the journey of your investment from source to sink is not exposed to perils?


Commercial transactions(the umbrella term “e-commerce” can be used, for online shopping, B2B applications, B2C technologies, etc) from the view of the web-medium are equally vulnerable if not secured with the optimum internet protocols. Here, the arena is vast with a wide range of applications from Email, Enterprise content management, Instant messaging, Newsgroups, Online shopping and order tracking, Online banking, * Online office suites, Domestic and international payment systems, Shopping cart software, Teleconferencing, Electronic tickets, etc.


Much as there are avenues of opportunities, with a heavy market-potential, the hazards of getting exposed, or spotted, or even trapped, in the “web-tangled” crimes, exist. Cyber crimes looming large on commercial transactions include hacking, identity thefts, and others of the like..


So, how to make commercial transactions in a secure way, when you are using the online medium? Just as there are counter measures to tackle miscreants and ensure the safety of trade and commerce in real-time world there has been a parallel development in technology that make internet businesses not only viable but also e-commerce “the” pliable and secured mode for commercial transaction. The “E” effect of the web, overrides the snags and hitches that are still evident in the real-time world. The security protocols of the internet ensure that the data sent and received are encrypted and decrypted respectively, thus maintaining the integrity and validity of the data. What came into being as one of the first internet protocols, was the HTTP(encrypting the contents of the message relayed from the browser(user-end) to the server). As an offshoot of HTTP was SHTTP giving clients more discretion on the type of encryption to use. Netscape then came out with its brain child in the way of SSL (Secure Sockets layer), which worked more at the ground-level(at the transport layer)(encrypting the entire data-stream as a whole, independent of the transmission protocol), whereas the previous protocols worked at the application layer. The next player was Mircosoft’s PCT (Private communication technology) as an enhanced version of SSL, plugging the loopholes present in SSL. As you are well aware that all commercial transactions need to be financed, they should be routed through the gateway of the network of banks. For instance, while using credit/debit cards for your transactions, the initiation triggered from your end, should get an acknowledgement from the concerned banker(s), to allow the further processing of the transaction. After many milestones, through alliances between application providers and the bankers, and a series of protocol technologies (credit card authorities), the Visa/MasterCard SET(Secure Electronic Transactions) emerged as a convergence of the “piecemeal” solutions for payment mediation.


Working on the premise of internet protocol technologies, to make commercial transactions secure, are a pool of applications/technologies/services such as digital certificates, payment gateways (credit card authentication, online banking), and service providers such as paypal, alert pay, e-gold etc. These services/applications/technologies converge to deliver at your mouse click 1) The ease of operation: taking care of all nitty gritty details (like paypal) of fund transfer, even across different currencies 2) The security : the sender and the recipient are authenticated and the channel of commercial transaction is secured, through hi-end internet protocol technologies 3) The assurance : your transaction is executed to reach the designated goal(be it buying, selling, cash-transfer etc).

Dot net application Nuke – The nucleus of CMS

Dot Net duke or the DNN wields the power of the web as a CMS with its open-source, free platform. Content management software or CMS breaks free all technology barriers which would prevent the user(business, individual, client) from creating and evolving with his/her own web space. An online business site developed with CMS renders discretion to the client to make modifications/tweaks/ and even expand the scope of the existing site.


Dot Net Nuke based on Microsoft.net technology offers unique features to allow users to enjoy more latitude as they have the discretion to manage content from the smaller intranet, the extranets, to the larger internet on any platform and with multiple databases.These features are accomplished through DNN’s scalability and extensibility by using modules, skins, templates, language packs data providers. Let us take quick peek into these features, which makes Dot Net nuke a user-friendly CMS.


DontNetNuke has three-tier architecture with a content management system, application framework and the server tier in three separate layers. This kind of architecture lays the foundation of extensive modularity where plug-ins can be easily installed and uninstalled at the same time.Coming back to modularity, the DNN framework has built-in modules to provide basic functionality to design and develop for intranet, e-commerce system, extranet, the internet(public web site) or any custom web application.


For enhanced features or hi-end development third-party modules can be uploaded by the administrator and can be used in any of the pages in a website. There is a marketplace for both DotNetnuke modules and skins in the web-space, where the feature you desire is available both in the paid and free version.The concept of modularity is further espoused by the use of skins in the Dotnenuke framework. Skins are HTML files with a structured framework to build content. These files also have provisions or placeholders for images, menus, stylesheets etc. The skins help to separate the design from the content thereby rendering greater platform independence and reducing the incidence of developer-designer incompatibility. Meaning; that both functionality and the presentation of the page are segregated, with the application logic not interfering with the style at all. Similar to modules compiled DotNEtNuke skins can also be uploaded into the framework by the administrator.


DNN’s skinning engine reads through the compiled skins and generates a  user-control file(if the skin doesn’t have one) using the placeholders and other tags of the HTML language.Coming to the language packs, the downloadables are available in different languages pertaining to the parent language used in your DNN framework. The feature is well-nuanced as there are variants of a single language(for instance, US or UK English).


From the “soft-skills” of language present in DotnetNuke to the hard-core hard-skills, DNN supports a host of data providers for data access, from SQL Oracle and others of the like.In summary, Dot Net Nuke sums up to be the coveted CMS in the industry for one: for its extensibility and secondly, for its customizability. Thriving on the latest buzz of the web-platform to deliver services par excellence is Web Design UAE  . Here the wide spectrum of services covers SEO, graphic design, logo design which typically come under the umbrella term “web development, UAE”. Our expertise speaks volumes for open-source accessibility rendering customized solutions for any online business. Thus customer satisfaction is a stamp of guarantee on our highly extensible service.
