 As stated, a dry read, but useful reference.Nov 10, 1999
I would agree with the other reviewers that the book is a dry read, but I found it to be a useful reference manual.

 is is worth the money?Jun 17, 1999
I don't know whether this book adds much to the specs of SET that are publicly available available on the web.Furthermore, the book is hard to read due to bad lay out and contains several typos. I am afraid that this book was published quickly to gain from the hype, but I think, but hope at least, that better books are available on this subject.

Like a dry textbook with useless data and specsJun 25, 1999
Not recommended. Sad to say, the book looks like an academic textbook of specifications, definitions, glued together with paragraphs and diagrams. I've seen Internet RFCs and STDs far more informative, interesting and useful than this. If the book is actually recommended reading to use or implement SET, then SET must be the ISDN [1] of e-commerce! ;-) Cheerio, Link. [1] ISDN: a complex standard designed by a committee to primarily solve committee issues, and not technical issues.
