For a good design, security trust in Online Service Computing can effectively improve the underlying design architecture. This paper reviewed various contributions for OSC in the context of existing web services architecture. Though various security models have been proposed in literature, we observed that online stores application integration on a Secured-tier VLAN offers an extended advantage over other schemes. In this regard, validating the overall online web architecture for optimality considering the secured-tier VLAN is the focus of this paper. A comparison as well as performance evaluation was carried out on OSC VLAN implementations yielding a satisfactory security measure on the part of end users, merchants and vendors, but showed no significant impact on the network utilization, throughput and queuing delays as similarity pattern was observed. We conclude that the security of OSC network can be improved through the logical isolation of users and the end servers in such designs. As such, a secured network with accepted performance metrics can drive any online application with little administrative overhead.
