Abstract :
Web servers and browsers typically use cookies to capture information for subsequent communications, which provides continuity and state across HTTP connections. At present, Internet e-commerce is somewhat limited in using cookies because sensitive information cannot be securely stored and communicated in typical cookies. Secure cookies offer a potential solution to this problem
