Proposed E-payment Process Model to Enhance Quality of Service through Maintaining the Trust of Availability
This is an incremental proposal for e-payment service providers to improve quality of service by ensuring system availability.
This paper proposes a new e-payment process model to enhance the quality of service by focusing on maintaining the availability dimension. The model addresses the lack of clarity in quality of service verification procedures within existing e-payment models.
The use of the Internet has become an urgent necessity in various fields and activities. One of such important fields could be electronic business (E-Business). E-business includes all operations and activities related to Internet commerce, including e-commerce, e-marketing, eservices, e-payment, and electronic transfer. This proposal focuses on two perspectives that are under e-commerce umbrella where many e-payment process models suffer from the lack of clarity in the special procedures of the verification of the quality of services. This proposal, therefore, proposes a new E-payment process model to enhance the quality of service through maintaining availability. The proposed model focuses on the concepts of electronic payment model dimensions, which includes integrity, non-repudiation, authenticity, confidentiality, privacy, and availability. Accordingly, the proposed model implements the availability dimension in order to improve the quality of services that are provided to the consumer.
