Abstract
The Internet Open Trading Protocol (IOTP) provides an interoperable
framework for Internet commerce. It is payment system independent and
encapsulates payment systems such as SET, Secure Channel
Credit/Debit, Mondex, CyberCoin, GeldKarte, etc. IOTP is able to
handle cases where such merchant roles as the shopping site, the
Payment Handler, the Delivery Handler of goods or services, and the
provider of customer support are performed by different parties or by
one party.
