Abstract
M.Comm.
Due to the new dimension the Internet has brought to electronic commerce, and the fact that banks are now able to deliver their services over the Internet, a structure need to be in place to ensure a secure environment for such banks. In the literature survey Internet risks and security tools will first be dealt first with in chapter two and then, in chapter three, client authentication methods required when delivering banking services over the Internet will be compared to authentication in the traditional IT banking environment. In chapter four basic Internet policy requirements will be analysed to serve as basis for the development of the Internet Security Policy
Framework (checklist) for banks delivering services over the Internet as presented in chapter five. This framework will ensure that all risk areas have been covered in authenticating clients over the Internet and simultaneously to secure the Bank's own systems.
