Considers the important role of trust in the context of electronic commerce (E-commerce), not just as a security issue, but as an issue covering the legal environment of purchasing online and the ability to be able to have instantaneous clarification that the person or company involved with has passed a credit verification and is a viable business proposition. Focuses on the services offered by eccelerate.com (http://www.eccelerate.com), a company providing enabling tools and information to support trusted online transactions. Being an offshoot of Dun & Bradstreet (D&B), eccelerate.com uses the D&B database, containing information on over 57 million companies worldwide, to deliver business credentials on buyers and sellers in real-time, at the point of an E-commerce transaction. Working with key digital certificate providers and ensuring that credible information from the D&B database is contained within the certificate enables eccelerate.com to provide both authentication and qualification.
