Evidencing trade usages: the case of encryption practices in internet banking
by Paul Przemyslaw Polanski
International Journal of Technology Transfer and Commercialisation (IJTTC), Vol. 6, No. 1, 2007

Abstract: The present paper describes a methodology that could be employed to establish the commonality of electronic practices in judicial proceedings. Two security practices are then examined: the practice of supporting strong encryption of transactions by banking servers and the practice of denial of service to 'weak' clients. The empirical analysis proves that the former practice is customary, whereas the latter could be regarded as custom in statu nascendi or as the best practice. Finally, this paper makes a call to configure web servers so that they deny a service, if a web browser does not support strong encryption of transactions.
