Security of online shopping

Internet can help a person to use online shopping. The goods or the desired purpose we can choose from the menu presented online and interactive. We do not necessarily have to come all the way to the store, look for the desired item and then lining up to pay for groceries. Many online shopping service providers such as ebay.com, amazon.com.

However, many Internet users still do not believe the level of security on the Internet because Nowadays, the cyber crime are increasing. Credibility of the seller and / or the buyer is a guarantor of security. You believe to the advice or instructions given by a web site that does not have a clear background?. Security on the network or the network can occur if the communication is carried out without protection. At this time the encryption is used to scramble the data that is passed through a computer network so that it is difficult to capture data. (Here is mentioned it is difficult, but it is not impossible to do). Securitythrough SSL (Secure Socket Layer), SSH (Secure Shell) withvarious algorithms such as DES, RSA and ECC can enhance network security. Generally, the use  of enskripsi enough to secure online shopping.
In general, the security of online shopping is at an acceptable level. But keep in mind the credibility of the seller or the web site where you conduct a transaction.

In the online shopping such as ebay.com, usually we can see the security label that guarantees that we will not be  a victim of internet crime and fraud. labels are called Security Seal. examples of some Security Seal:

Security seal or warranty is one of the most important part of online shopping. Many consumers believe that the seal is proof that their transactions are safe and will not be hacked, so they will be more confident and willing to trade if the online shop is secured by a security seal.

on ebay it is using Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (https) that is a combination of the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) with the SSL/TLS protocol. It provides encrypted communication to prevent eaves dropping and to securely identify the web server with which you are actually communicating. They are proven safe with the norton secured from Symantec SSL Certificates, powered by VeriSign.

So If you open a website and see a lock and tha addres of thet website start with https//... that means the website is secure and already has a Security Seal. You didn't have to worry to browse and open that website.

Management Information System (MIS) in our life

Definition of MIS

MIS is closely associated with technological. MIS using information technology as a tool of data processing, speed of data processing depends on the technology and the credibility of its users. This will facilitate companies in making decisions that positively impact on the continuity of the company and to achieve company goals effectively and efficiently.

A management information system (MIS) provides information that is needed to manage organizations efficiently and effectively.  Management information systems involve three primary resources: people, technology, and information or decision making.

Simple Example of MIS in Daily Life

Nowadays in global era we can find the application of MIS in many aspect. For example in process of borrowing books at the library, the first is make library card or use KTM (Student Identity Card) then registration, after that we can borrow which books we need. And when we use ATM or we use internet banking to pay school. Those are actually computer based. Another example of MIS is using Database marketing– Data-base marketing may be defined as a computerized technique that compiles, sorts, and stores relevant information about customers and potential customers.

1. It creates a bank of information about individual customers.
2. It uses that information to analyze buying and inquiry patterns, thereby creating the ability to target goods and services more accurately.
3. It can be used to promote the benefits of brand loyalty to customers at risk from competition.

Example of MIS in Worldwide

In Worldwide, millions of organizations now use some form of MIS. Progressive firms (and divisions within the same firm) are transmitting and sharing marketing information with each other-quickly and inexpensively. One-half of Fortune 1000 companies and one-half of large retailers are actively engaged in database marketing. These are among the firms with well-structured marketing information systems:

1. 3M, whose best-known products are Post-it Notes and Scotch tape, operate in more than 60 countries. It recently introduced a $30 million online information system and all its senior executives get their information from the online database.

2. British-based retailer Marks & Spencer uses information generated from customer credit cards to better tailor its marketing efforts. It recently revamped its process for supplying products to stores after studying its customer database.

3. Louise’s Trattoria, a 13-unit chain of Italian restaurants in Los Angeles, reviewed the information from computer-scanned customer receipts that were electronically stored in the firm’s data warehouse.

So, now it's better for us to learn how to realized that there are already implementation of MIS in our daily life and let’s start to maximize the utilize of it.
