Electronic commerce brokerage event - Brussels
The focus of the event, which is mainly targeted at SMEs, will be on how companies can benefit from the Internet and on security aspects of Internet use. Five projects, supported by the European Community's ACTS and ESPRIT programmes will be demonstrated during the event, giving participants a perspective from both the developer and the end-user of new applications and services.
The five projects to be presented are as follows:
- W3UserNet: focuses on users and aims to help European companies integrate the use of the Web into their business processes;
- W3C: focuses on security on the Web, going beyond the existing facilities for assuring identity and integrity of objects on the Web to look at validity and characteristics of objects and any endorsements;
- E2S: End-to-End Security over the Internet, aims at developing, testing and implementing security mechanisms for safeguarding commercial transactions;
- C-SET: involving two bankcard groups, this project aims to develop technical requirements for standards for secure electronic payments using a micro-circuit payment card;
- INTERSHOP: a software product for building a shop on the Internet, focusing on the guarantee of secure transactions.
Following the demonstrations, participants will be able to talk with project representatives on the basis of pre-arranged meetings.
