The safety is one of the huge challenges that the E-commerce is faced with, and it becomes hindrance follow-on bottle neck of E-commerce. The commercial affairs businesses all will not be carried on by way of the cross-domain communication environment of a danger in any individual, enterprise or commerce organization, and can lead to so the various business information to be leaked or destroys, thus create the jumbo interest to lose. The safety is the important guarantee of E-commerce life-force, and becomes again at the same time restricting one of follow-on bottle of neck factor E-commerce at present.
