Original title “Le commerce électronique en toute confiance”, (trust in the electronic trade) publication of Litec Jurisclasseur (LexisNexisGroup), 2001.

This book is the one of the rare works to treat e-business in a transverse way. It analyzes its organization and approaches its legal, technical and economic aspects, with a particular focus on trust aspects. It is an essential instrument to approach the e-business in an objective and detailed way.

It brings an answer to your interrogations: Which are the actors of the e-business? How to choose an on- line merchant? Which are the legal provisions governing the online business? How to join together the elements of confidence? Can we encrypt data transmitted on the Internet? How to use an electronic signature? Can we legally download MP3 files? What kind of responsibility for the Internet websites editors? 

All the actuality is approached around this very dense topic and is commented by the authors. They present the recent legal texts, as well as the e-business economic issues. Whether you are lawyer, business manager or simply a website editor on a purely nonprofessional basis, this book is designed for you, as well as for any citizen anxious to know the guarantees brought by the Internet emergent law.
