The results show that out of ten variables, six variables are at significant level (p < 0.05) which are authentication, cookies, browsers, consumer perceived control, personal integrity and organisational integrity. The remaining four variables which are encryption, protection, http and consumer trust are not significant. Based upon the research findings, recommendations, limitations, future of study and conclusions are drawn which include a proposition of a way forward in addressing consumers' protection in e-commerce in Malaysia.
