Cílem tohoto příspěvku je představit některá specifika auditu online aukčních systémů. Transakce a komunikace mezi uživateli těchto systémů probíhá totiž za situace, kdy uživatelé nejsou ve fyzickém kontaktu, ani se navzájem neznají. Proto musí spoléhat na mechanismy implementované v rámci těchto systémů - reputační mechanismy. Většina těchto mechanismů je založena na vytváření důvěryhodného prostředí a hodnocení uživatelů na základě dodatečných atributů spojených s uživateli a jejich rolemi. Tyto atributy jsou konstruovány na základě předchozích transakcí (pozitivních, negativních nebo neutrálních komentářů). V příspěvku se zaměřujeme na analýzu některých prvků online aukčních systémů, na které se audit těchto systémů musí (kromě jiného) zaměřit. Vytváření důvěry v prostředí online aukcí je totiž základním předpokladem pro jejich fungování.

The security of electronic auction systems

This paper analyses some specific issues about the auditing of electronic auction systems. Communication within the Internet online auction systems generally takes place without users being in physical contact or knowing anything about each other. Therefore, they have to rely upon that mechanisms implemented within these online systems: reputation systems. Most of these mechanisms are based on the creation of a trustworthy environment, with the help of additional attributes associated with users and their roles. These attributes are constructed based upon previous transactions or recommendations (positive or negative comments about such transactions). In this paper, we have focused on analysis of some elements of online auction systems which are specific and important when auditing these systems. The creation of trust in the online auction environment is the basis for proper functioning of these environments.
