digital wallet
(1) Encryption software that works like a physical wallet during electronic commerce transactions. A wallet can hold a user's payment information, a digital certificate to identify the user, and shipping information to speed transactions. The consumer benefits because his or her information is encrypted against piracy and because some wallets will automatically input shipping information at the merchant's site and will give the consumer the option of paying by digital cash or check. Merchants benefit by receiving protection against fraud.
Most wallets reside on the user's PC, but recent versions, called "thin" wallets, are placed on the credit card issuer's server. Netscape and Microsoft now support wallet technology on their browsers.
(2) Digital Wallet, a registered trademark of Minds@Work, is a self-powered portable hard drive used for storing digital camera images. certification authority
Abbreviated as CA, a trusted third-party organization or company that issues digital certificates used to create digital signatures and public-private key pairs. The role of the CA in this process is to guarantee that the individual granted the unique certificate is, in fact, who he or she claims to be. Usually, this means that the CA has an arrangement with a financial institution, such as a credit card company, which provides it with information to confirm an individual's claimed identity. CAs are a critical component in data security and electronic commerce because they guarantee that the two parties exchanging information are really who they claim to be.
Also referred to as a certificate authority.
eBusiness Definition
eBusiness (electronic trouble) is, in its simplest form, the direct
of trouble on the Internet. It is a more generic locution than eCommerce since it refers to not only
buying and selling however as well servicing customers and collaborating with trouble partners.
IBM, in 1997, was one of the first to employ the locution when it launched a campaign built around the
locution. Today, many corporations are rethinking their businesses in terms of the Internet and its
capabilities. Companies are using the Web to acquire parts and supplies from other companies, to
collaborate on sales promotions, and to do joint research. Exploiting the convenience, availability,
and global reach of the Internet, many companies, both large and miniature have already discovered how
to employ the Internet successfully.
