Abstract:
Every activity has some Risk involved in it. Analyzing the Risk involved in a transaction is important
to decide whether to proceed with the transaction or not. Risk has been discussed extensively in different areas,
like Investment, Finance, Health, Environment, daily life activities and Engineering. All these areas have
different interpretations of Risk, which is not suitable to apply to a transaction in the area of Computer Science.
In this paper we focus on defining Risk involved during a decentralized transaction in e-commerce.
