In line with the European Commission’s intention to improve the security of transactions made online, the Government of Malta (GOM) has introduced digital certificates on electronic ID cards which can be read with an ID card reader device. What are the various interface types for the ID card reader devices and what are the usage scenarios? The interface types for the ID card reader devices are described in the table below: Card Connection Type Description Suitable for reading Reader Interface Type Contact There is a physical wire connecting the ID cards that have a visble chip. idenity card reader to your Macintosh. The idenity card needs to be placed into the ID card reader. Contactless There is no requirement for the ID card ID cards that do not have a visible chip to be placed into the ID card reader (the chip is embedded inside the card). device.

  • Suositus Verkkopalvelun Kävijöiden, Sivupyyntöjen Ja Vierailujen Mittaamiseksi
    TIETOTEKNIIKKA Suositus verkkopalvelun kävijöiden, sivupyyntöjen ja vierailujen mittaamiseksi Dokumentin tila: ehdotus suositukseksi 9.9.1999 Tekijät • Hannele Antikainen • Vesa Kautto • Markku Kylänpää • Heikki Nikulin Alkusanat Nämä suositukset on laadittu Suomen Mediatarkastuksen vetämässä hankkeessa, jossa VTT Tietotekniikka on toiminut asiantuntijaorganisaationa. Projektiin osallistuivat: • Alma Media Oyj • Sanoma-WSOY • Grey Interactive Oy • Saunalahden Serveri • Mainostajien Liitto • Sonera • Mainostoimistojen Liitto • Suomen Gallup Web Oy • Nedecon Network Development • Taloustutkimus Oy Consulting Oyj • Telia Finland Oy/Netpool Finland Oy Hankkeessa laadittiin suositus, joiden mukaan verkkopalvelujen mittaamisen keskeiset tunnusluvut voidaan laskea. Suositus on parhaillaan (syksy 1999) Suomen Mediatarkastuksen käsiteltävänä. Verkko- palvelujen mittaamisen keskeiset tunnusluvut ovat kävijä, sivupyyntö ja vierailu. Näiden suositusten toivotaan yhtenäistävän termistöä, jota verkkopalvelujen mittaamisessa käytetään. Ne toimivat myös lähtökohtana verkkopalvelujen mittausjärjestelmien kehittämisessä. Tavoitteena on, että mainostajille voitaisiin esittää eri verkkopalveluista samoilla mittausperiaatteilla saatuja tunnuslukuja. Tämä on yksi verkkomainontakampanjoiden suunnittelun perusedellytyksistä. Sisällys 1. JOHDANTO 2 2.

  • Software Tools for the World-Wide Web
    Software Tools for the World-Wide Web A Survey October 1995–May 1996 Tony McDonald David Surtees Janet Wheeler Computing Service University of Newcastle Contents Introduction 1 Browsers 1 HTML Tools 2 Servers 3 Other Tools 5 Conclusions 6 Appendix: Summary of Tools 7 Browsers 7 HTML Tools 8 Servers 9 Other Tools 10 On-line Tools 12 1 Introduction The aim of this project was to perform a cross-platform (Macintosh, UNIX and Windows) survey of World-Wide Web (WWW) software tools and to report briefly on as many as possible under the constraints of time, software costs and equipment available. It was not within the remit of the project to make specific recommendations. The market is very volatile and there is a huge number of tools with more appearing literally every day. Because of this we have mainly concentrated on servers, browsers and HTML tools; coverage of other areas has of necessity been somewhat patchy due to time constraints. In the course of the survey we have identified 33 servers, 38 browsers, 82 HTML tools and 61 miscellaneous others, including log analysis, helpers, graphics, imagemaps and bookmark managers, plus 12 online tools, mainly HTML validation services. Details are available at http://www.ncl.ac.uk/wwwtools/ The World-Wide Web provides an unusual business model, whereby companies offer software with very attractive pricing, or sometimes even free of charge. This tends to be done as an attempt to set standards or to "increase market share" (although what this means in this environment is quite a different matter). Some shareware and freeware tools written by individuals are either very much under development or have been abandoned by their authors.
