The quantitative approach with a deductive and descriptive method has been used to identify the benefits in transactional activities and data security, both customers and businesses. The results indicated that it is effective use of cryptography, the algorithm EDCSA, together with the SHA algorithm to maintain greater security efforts. It was concluded that the use of these algorithms are effective for transactions of buying and selling and financial aspects, but it needs to maintain a permanent control and simulation processes to avoid flaws in procedures. Keywords: Blockchain E-commerce Transactions Security information Cryptographic techniques 1. Introduction The main problem of e-commerce in the country, is related to security transactions via the web, as ill-intentioned people, dabble systems, therefore, to improve business. System implementation encrypted block databases to people who want to affect users or businesses use access keys and other mixed systems, may obtain better results, the answer to this is the use of the blockchain, which it consists of several blocks, where each block includes information specific addresses [1]. Also, the information security is one of the main characteristics to be achieved within organizations worldwide [2]. The object is to analyze the blockchain for adoption in managing e-commerce in Ecuador. How to apply the blockchain management in e-commerce in Ecuador? Commercial activities in medium and large companies are experiencing a revolution, involving the technological sphere and this requires the application of the blockchain, using cryptographic secure, especially the algorithm EDCSA, where the chain applied blocks decentralized systems for distribution networks, whose properties allow transparency information. Deductive and descriptive approach is used to analyze the information of reference articles and quantitative approach is applied, in order to present the result. The results indicate that effective use of cryptography, the algorithm ECDSA, together with the SHA algorithm maintain greater security in trade negotiations. It is concluded that the use of these algorithms are effective for transactions of buying and selling and financial aspects, but it needs to maintain a permanent control and simulation processes to avoid failures in future procedures. 2. Materials and Methods 2.1 Materials They have been revised valuable resources that have allowed recognize the benefits of applying the technology blockchain in e- commerce. We have considered different bibliographic resources such as scientific articles and information regarding outstanding commercial activities carried out in the local context.
