"Controlling Risk and Fraudulent activities in E-Commerce"
The purpose of this research is to discover various fraud and risk scenarios associated with HTTP cookie based tracking systems in e-commerce, specifically within Affiliate Marketing model. It enables us to develop solutions to mitigate such threats and to improve the robustness of HTTP cookie-based tracking technology.
The research involves working closely with a group of selected business organisations who already have or who are in the process of implementing an Affiliate Marketing strategy for their respective organisations. These organisations will have the chance to audit their Affiliate Marketing systems against the vulnerabilities that are being discovered and the ability to implement the solutions, to create a robust system, thus mitigating financial losses.
This research is carried out in partial fulfilment of the Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) program, which I am undertaking at Massey University, Albany, Auckland, New Zealand.
