Greetings all,

This may be a bit off topic, but i'm hoping someone can point me in the
right direction.

I'm trying to garner some clues about the safety (or otherwise) of
ecommerce. My university refuses to purchase over the net, and this is
becoming more awkward all the time. When challenged, our finance people
have said that if convincing evidence is available to the effect that
ecommerce is no less safe than face-to-face use of corporate credit cards,
they will do it.

Where can I find evidence? I've checked plenty of sites but mostly find
argument, not evidence. Any ideas?

Regards,

Lesley Vita
