Online retailers must implement controls to keep transactions secure. To get an idea of the kind of precautions taken, go to a major online retailer, place some items in your shopping cart, and proceed as if you are going to check out. When you get to where you are asked for your credit card number, right-click on your browser, and click properties. Look through the results carefully and see what you can find out about the protocols and tools used to protect the transaction. Go to another online retailer and repeat the experiment, seeing what they do.

Some of the possible retailers you can check include the following:

• Walmart
• Best Buy
• Apple
• Wayfair
• Home Depot
• Target
• Amazon
• Ebay

In your discussion post, describe the protocols and tools used. What are the differences you see in the protocols and tools between retailers? Which site does the best job, in your opinion? Your initial post must be a minimum of 250 words.
