Abstract

Since the mid 1990’s the advancement in enabling technology has made the use of web ubiquitous. Specifically, with the e-commerce on the rise the issues of privacy protection and system security have come into focus. E-business is permeating everyday life of more and more citizens around the world while privacy issues remain unresolved. This research is aimed at evaluating the state of a new technical approach to privacy protection. We are using a sample of 500 commercial enterprises to evaluate the adoption of the Platform for Privacy Preferences (P3P), one year after it was recommended by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).
