The announcement was made at GITEX in Dubai. TRA said that its national electronic trust mark was focused on promoting the online retail market as a secure and safe environment.

To win the TRUSTae seal of approval, online businesses will be required to follow a strict code of conduct that provides reliable electronic transaction communications.
