Information Security Measures in E-commerce Domain

Abstract

The exponential growth of the electronic transactions market, commonly known as e-commerce, is undeniably one of the most significant shifts accompanying the global digital transformation. This rapid expansion poses considerable challenges for companies, institutions, technological security systems, and intellectual property laws. Without robust information protection and security measures, particularly in safeguarding the personal data involved in these transactions, they remain highly vulnerable to theft and hacking, which can result in the complete collapse of the entire e-commerce enterprise. Consequently, countries are compelled to enact legislation aimed at establishing comprehensive safeguards and dedicated protection for these commercial transactions. This study aims to delve into the intricacies of e-commerce, information security, and the legal mechanisms adopted by the Algerian legislature to ensure enhanced protection for this particular domain of commercial transactions.
