Security on E-Commerce Websites

[Steve H <simpleman2 () hotmail com>]

Hello all. I am new to this website and was wondering if any of you could 
give me some help. I am doing research for an IM class on secure e-
commerce websites. I am most interested in learning about how a "secure" 
transaction takes place. For instance, a credit card number is entered by 
a consumer to purchase a product, what happens to the cc number? 

If you could direct me to any other websites or newsgroups, I would 
appreciate it very much. Please email me at the address listed below with 
a subject of "secure web sites". Thank you for your time and I appreciate 
any help you can give me. 

Thanks again.
