Q

Distributed processing

A

decentralized processing tasks and data storage and assigning functions to multiple computers, in separate locations
-allows reductions in amnt of comm traffic b/c data needed locally could reside locally

Q

Client server model

A

most cost effective and easy to admn arrangement for LANs
-differ from peer to peer ntwk in that devices play more specialized roles; client processes request svc from server processes

A

server centrally located and devoted to fx needed by all ntwk users
-ex (mail servers, app servers)
determination as server by function it performs (simple personal computer can be a server)

Q

Key to client-server model

A

runs processes on platform most appropriate to process while attempting to minimize traffic over the ntwk (3 tiered architecture of client, app, db)

client svr systems made from eqt from multi vendors

security for client-svr systems more difficult than in highly centralized system b/c of access pts

Q

Security risks of decentralization

A

unauthorized sftwr easily installed on ntwk; exposure to virus and liability to copyright violation
important files stored on local comp not backed up properly
app written by users of local comp not adhere to stds of org, making data sharing difficult

Q

WAN

A

wide area ntwk- consists of conglomerate of LANs over widely separated locations; key is either public or privately owned

Q

Publicly owned WAN

A

available to any user w/ a compatible device (phone, internet)
assets paid for by means other than indiv imposed user fees
quality can’t be guaranteed, security is highly questionable

Q

Types of private WANs

A
  • VANs- private ntwk provide customers w/ reliable, high speed secure transmission of data
  • -add value, give cust error detection/correction, e-mail for EDI

VPN - virtual private ntwk

  • cheap way to solve problem of high cost of leased lines
  • -company connects each office to local ISP, routes data thru public internet
  • -VPN success depends on encryption in transit

Q

Intranet vs extranet

A

both types of WANs (wide area ntwk)
intranet- share info thru org by internet and web sftwr to internal ntwk

extranet- linked intranets of 2 or more orgs (supplier and customers)
-uses public net to transmit, req pword for access

Q

XML

A

extensible markup lang
developed as open std usable w/ many programs and platforms
-codes all info so user can determine how to present and what it is
-uses codes

18
Q

URL

A

uniform resource locator

website address

19
Q

4 primary cloud svcs

A

Data-as-a-Svc (DaaS)
Infrastructure-as-a-svc (IaaS)
Platform-as-a-svc (Paas)
Software-as-a-svc (SaaS)

26
Q

E business vs E commerce

A

E business- all methods of conducting business electronically
E comm- conduct of financial trans w/ outside parties electronically
-2 varieties (B2B and B2C)

27
Q

B2B

A

business to business
speed up order and fulfillment process
further automated thru EDI, buyer’s purch auto places order w/ vendor when inventories reach predetermined level
benefits
-low purch costs (buy online save time, simplifies ordering process)
-increased mkt efficiency (access to price quotes from suppliers; buyers get better price)
-better mkt intelligence (better insights into demand levels in mkt)
-decreased inventory level (JIT mfg)

28
Q

B2C

A

mostly online
many of same benefits of B2B wrt reduced costs and better efficiency
-same security issues (authorization)

29
Q

Big Data

A

collection and analysis of large/complex data sets
challenges
-capturing, storing, analyzing, securing large amnts of data

30
Q

EFT

A

electronic funds transfer
ecommerce app provided by fin institutions worldwide enables transfer of funds via access device (terminal-POS/ATM)
typical app is direct deposit
costs are lower than manual b/c docs and ppl eliminated; reduced clerical errors
most important- check collection (reduce paper checks)
2 major systems to wire
-Fedwire (Fed Reserve wire transfer ntwk)
-CHIPS (clearing house interbank pmt system)

31
Q

EFT vs E Money

A

smart cards- computer chips not magnetized stripes; can store data & security programs, digital signature

disadvantage-not covered by insurance (FDIC) but EFT is covered

32
Q

EDI

A

electronic data interchange- leading method of doing B2B e-commerce
communication of data inf format agreed to by parties
1st step in evol of e-business
-begins w/ mapping work process and flows to achieve business objectives; enhance JIT

33
Q

Advantages of EDI

A

reduce clerical errors
faster transactions
eliminate repetitive clerical tasks (doc prep, processing, mailing)
digital record storage

34
Q

Digital Certificates

A

data files created by trusted 3rd parties (certificate authorities)

if want to do ecommerce estab relationshp w/ certificate auth; verified ID

CA creates coded e-certificate contain holder’s name, public
key, serial #, exp date

party wants to do business w/ cert holder finds cert on authority’s serve uses authority’s public key to decrypt

sender gets key, encodes message and send, recipient decrypts w/ private key

35
Q

COSTS of EDI

A

specialized software
-to convert data must buy or develop
dedicated hardware
-must install servers or contract thru VAN
legal costs
-contracts must be renegotiated
process reengineering
-replacing existing procedures req changes to internal processes (cost of employee retraining)
enhanced security and
monitoring
-risks of communicating across org boundaries

36
Q

Terms and Components of EDI

A

stds- procedures to convert written doc into e docs messaging format
conventions-procedures for arranging data element in specified formats for
data dictionary-meaning of data elements, specification of each trans structure
-transmission protocol- rules to determine how e envelope structured and processed by comm devices

37
Q

Encryption Tech

A

encodes data before transmission and recipient decodes it on their end, key needed to decode

when performed by physicall secure hdwr is more secure than from sfwr

increases overhead

38
Q

Public Key

A

asymmetric encryption
comm parties create mathematical related pair of key; 1 key is public other is private
sending party uses public key

39
Q

Symmetric encryption

A

parties agree on single (private) key

longer the key (in bits) more resistant to decryption by unauth parties

40
Q

Digital Certificates

A

data files created by trusted 3rd parties (certificate authorities)

if want to do ecommerce estab relationshp w/ certificate auth; verified ID

CA creates coded e-certificate contain holder’s name, public
key, serial #, exp date

party wants to do business w/ cert holder finds cert on authority’s serve uses authority’s public key to decrypt
