E-commerce in its true sense became possible in 1991 when the internet was opened to the general public for commercial use. since then hundreds of thousands of business have taken up residence there. even though the internet's popularity to the general public happened in 1994, it took approximately four years to develop electronic security protocols(http and DSL), which gave a rapid access with persistent connection to the internet. Since then people began to define the term e-Commerce as the process of buying products and services over the internet using secure connection.
