A comprehensive model to assess e-commerce security based on ahp and evidential reasoning: First results

E-Commerce security has become one of the most important issues in the development of E-Commerce. In this paper, a new model is proposed to facilitate the assessment of E-Commerce security. In our model, both AHP method and the theory of evidence are combined together. AHP method is used to calculate the weights of each issue associated with E-Commerce security. Then, evidential reasoning is integrated to combine all the issues, regarded as evidences, in order to derive a consensus decision for the degree of E-Commerce security. The first results of a numerical example are presented to illustrate the efficiency of our model in the assessment of E-Commerce security.
