  18. W3C Proposed Standard for Electronic Wallets • World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) is attempting to create an extensible and interoperable method of embedding micropayment information on a web page • Extensible systems allow improvement of the system without eliminating previous work

  19. W3C Proposed Standard for Electronic Wallets • Merchants to accept several payment options to insure the widest possible Internet audience • Merchants must embed in their Web page payment information specific to each payment system • This redundancy spurred W3C to develop common standards for Web page markup for all payment systems • Must move quickly to prevent current methods from becoming entrenched

  20. Digital Cash • Also called e-cash • Digital forms of value storage or value exchange that have limited convertibility into other forms of value and require intermediaries to convert

  33. Mondex Smart Card • Holds and dispenses electronic cash • Developed by MasterCard International • Requires specific card reader for the merchants and/or customers to use card over Internet • Supports micro-payments as small as 3 cents and works both online and off-line at stores or over the telephone
