The general public is rapidly implementing more information and
communication technologies (ICT) in services and commerce. Consequently,
confidential information is at growing risk and security and reliability
problems become common. Undeniably, today citizens are becoming more and more
apprehensive about the rising complexity of information and communication systems and the abundance of privacy-invasive
information gathering sources and techniques. In their online daily
transactions, the people frequently find themselves confronted with
high-profile losses of their personal information and with viruses, spam,
phishing and other offenses of growing severity and complexity.
Therefore, in general English practice, trust is what one places
his assurance in or expects to be honest. Before we investigate too deeply into
the nature of trust, we first require forming a coherent idea of just what
trust is. Literature is unsuccessful to take this step and frequently ends up
resulting in added misunderstanding and argument among-st researchers rather
than adding to the knowledge base. Trust has conventionally been hard to define
and measure since it is a social phenomenon that has different definitions
depending on the context too concur that trust has been described in different
manners, frequently depending on the context in which it appears. The
deficiency of a commonly acknowledged definition has been highlighted by
several researchers, but most clearly in Hosmer. Where it was quoted that
“there appears to be widespread agreement on the importance of trust ……., but
unfortunately there also appears to be equally widespread lack of agreement on
a suitable definition of the concept”. However, there are three dimensions of trust:
a) integrity: the faith that an enterprise is fair
and just b)dependability: the faith that an enterprise will do
what it says it will do … and, c)competence: the confidence that an enterprise has
the capability to do what it says it will do. Have put forward the definition of trust in
E-Commerce as being contingent on one member’s belief about another member’s
intention to behave in a socially acceptable manner.
