smart card
A small electronic device about the size of a credit card that contains electronic memory, and possibly an embedded integrated circuit (IC). Smart cards containing an IC are sometimes called Integrated Circuit Cards (ICCs).
Smart cards are used for a variety of purposes, including:
# Storing a patient's medical records
# Storing digital cash
# Generating network IDs (similar to a token)
To use a smart card, either to pull information from it or add data to it, you need a smart card reader, a small device into which you insert the smart card. EBPP
Short for electronic bill presentment and payment, the process by which companies bill customers and receive payments electronically over the Internet.
There are two types of presentment models:
* direct model: a biller delivers the bill to customers via its own Web site, or via a third-party's site.
* consolidator model: bills from multiple billers are delivered to a single Web site, to be presented in aggregate to the consumer for viewing and payment.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.
