Creditcard companies are working with CyberCash and Netscape Communications to develop and implement the new Secure Electronic Transaction protocol for online creditcard commerce.
The eToys sites also offered "one-click" shopping, which allows customers to leave their creditcard details once in a secure server and then make repeat orders with a single mouse click.
The dream is that, eventually, everything about you--name, address, Social Security number, creditcard accounts, medical history and more--will be instantly recognized and ready for secure delivery to a vendor with whom you'd like to do business.
