Give the application of e-commerce? Application of e - commerce :Communication service:- it supports of transfer of information from the buyer to the seller electronically. Data management:- is the exchange and storing of data in a uniform format to facilitate easy exchange of information. Security mechanism:- authenticate the source of information and guarantee the integrity and privacy of information. 3. Compare traditional and e-commerce. E – commerce Mostly realize on a network of computer system, the internet.

Also used the conventional method but basically realized on the web. It does not involve physical proximity among the bus entity and thus identify must be verified digitally.

Ordering is done through online form for E-mail.

Payment process are electronically

Traditional commerce Involves person to person contact and some time orders are accepted through telephone or post. Involve TV, radio, news paper, banner shows and convention method for advertisement. Verification method-person to person contact between the consumer and the supplier help to verify the standard identification item such as driving licence or passport. Tradition commerce ordering the product is done either in person or through telephone, fax or postal service. Payment process are in physical

cash, credit card and other form of electronic payment tools that can be used online – offline forms of money such as draft and cash are also used in e – commerce. Occurs only after the verification of the consumer and payment details. The selling place may be in virtual existence as the business may not stock any product and directly ask the supplier to fulfil the order. This is a 24 hours service not depend on any people and work on company records information and place order anywhere in the world.

form of money such as cash, cheque, credit card (the person has to be present to sign the authorized sig. Debit cards and drafts.

Order fulfilment occurs clearly, immediately unless it involves shipment of product. Location to sell- requires a physical location to carry out the business.

Customer service- may not be from as there may be problem due to working hours constraint and supplier not being able to reach all locate the consumer.

4. Electronic commerce categories? Four Electronic commerce categories:a) b) c) d)

Business to business Business to consumer Consumer to consumer Consumer to business

5 What are the advantages of e commerce? Advantages of e commerce:a) Instant world wide avaibility. b) Streamline buyer to seller relationship

c) Reduce paperwork error, common time and overhead cost. d) Improve market and product analysis. e) New business opportunities. Q.7 1. Explain:-a) simplex

b) half duplex

c) full duplex?

Simplex:- Simplex transmission allows data to travel only in a single, pre

specified direction. An example from everyday life is doorbell the signal can go only from the button to the chime. Two other examples are television and radio broadcasting.

Half duplex:- In half duplex transmission messages can move in either direction , but only one way at a time. The press to talk radio phones used in police cars employ the half-duplex standard; only one person can talk at a time. Often the line between a desktop workstation and a remote CPU conforms to the half duplex patterns as well. If another computer is transmitting to a workstation, the operator cannot send new messages until the other computer finishes its message to acknowledge an interruption. Full duplex:- Full duplex transmission works like traffic on a busy two way street the flow moves in two directions at the same time. Full-duplexing is ideal for hardware units that need to pass large amounts of data between each other as in mainframe-to-mainframe communications. Full duplex transmision is a two way transmission

2. Differentiate communication media. Explain the media suitable for wideband width application for networking? Communication media:1. Coaxil cable. 2. Twisted pair cable 3. Fibre optics 4. Wireless 5. Satellite system 6. Microwave system Fibre optics is suitable for wideband width application for networking. 3. Write a short note on ER diagrams? ENTITY RELATIONSHIP MODEL:- To design a data base it is necessary to have a complete understanding of a entity relationship model.ER diagram represent the following three elements:a) Entities

b) Relationship

c) Attributes

A) Entities:- An entity is an object with the distinct set of properties i.e. easily identify entities are building blocks of a data base. B) Relationship:- it is a crucial part of the design of a data base. It used to establish connection between a pair of logical related entity. It is an association

between entity. Separate entity can have a relationship. C) Attributes:- An attribute is a property of an entity that differentiate it from other entity and provide information about the entity. An attribute type is property of an entity type. 4. What is a firewall? Firewall:- A system designed to prevent unauthorized access to or from a private network. Firewalls can be implemented in both hardware and software, or a combination of both. Firewalls are frequently used to prevent unauthorized Internet users from accessing private networks connected to the Internet, especially intranets. All messages entering or leaving the intranet pass through the firewall, which examines each message and blocks those that do not meet the specified security criteria. 5.

RDBMS SOFTWARES:- a) Microsoft SQL (structural query language) version 7,8,9 b) oracle 8.0 8p server from oracle corporation. c) Sybase sql server from Sybase corporation. d) informis server from informic software. Q.8 1. What is Wi-Fi ? Wi-Fi:- A wireless network uses radio waves, just like cell phones, televisions and radios do. In fact, communication across a wireless network is a lot like two-way radio communication. Here's what happens: 1. A computer's wireless adapter translates data into a radio signal and transmits it using an antenna. 2. A wireless router receives the signal and decodes it. The router sends the information to the Internet using a physical, wired Ethernet connection. The process also works in reverse, with the router receiving information from the Internet, translating it into a radio signal and sending it to the computer's wireless adapter. The radios used for WiFi communication are very similar to the radios used for walkie-talkies, cell phones and other devices. They can transmit and receive radio waves, and they can convert 1s and 0s into radio waves and convert the radio waves back into 1s and 0s

2. What is the advantage and disadvantage of Wi-Fi network ? 3. Write a short note on computer viruses.

COMPUTER VIRUSES:- It is destructive computer programme that alter the stored file or system comfiguration and copy itself on the extended disc or other computers. Viruses cause problem by altering file and configuration or by doing exponentially which intrupt the data flow. In simple word computer virus program is a piece of self replicating code attach to some other piece of code (this code can be harmless). Viruses required an action of some sort of program to activate them. Hence they attach themselves to executable file. Viruses cannot run independently rather required host programme to activate them. Type:- resident, variend, Trojan horse, worms etc. 4. Write down the names of few antivirus software used in your laptop computer ? Antivirus software:-norten, kespersky, semantic, avast. 5. Write a notes on Cyber Crime ? CYBERCRIME:- the use of computer to carry out any conventional criminal act, such as fraud, is called cybercrime and is a growing menace. 6. What is a computer hacking ? COMPUTER HACKING:- hacking can be the basis for a distributed denial of service attack, in which a hacker hides malicious code on the pcs of many unsuspecting victims.or a hacker is someone who uses a computer and network or Internet commection to intrude into another computer or system to perform an illegal act. This may amount to simple trespassing or acts that corrupt, destroy, or change data. Methods:- sniffing, social engineering, spoofing 7. Define topologies for computer ? Topology:- Arrangement of computer in the networking concept. 1. Star topology:-It has multiple network nodes connected to a host node. The nodes in the network are linked to each other through the host node and can communicate only via the host node. 2. Ring topology:- A circular or ring network, in which each node has two communicating subordinates but there is no master node for controlling other nodes. A node receives data from one of its two adjacent nodes. The only decision a node has to take is whether the data is for its own use. If it is addressed to it, it utilizes it. Otherwise, it merely passes it to the next node. 3. completely connected network:- It has a separate physical link for connecting each node to any other node. Hence, each node has a direct link, called point-to-point link, with all other nodes in the network. The control is distributed with each node deciding its communication priorities.

4. Multi access bus network:- In which all nodes share a single transmission medium. That is, all nodes are attached to the same communication line. When a node wants to send a message to another node, it appends destination address to the message and checks whether communication line is free. As soon as line becomes free, it broadcasts the message on the line. As the message travels on the line, each node checks whether the message is addressed to it. The message is picked up by addressee node that sends an acknowledgement to source node and frees the line. 5. Hybrid network:- is a combination of two or more different network topologies. Exact configuration of a network depends on needs and structure of the organization. 8. What is a Protocol ? Set of rules and regulationsA protocol is a system of rules that define how something is to be done. In computer terminology, a protocol is usually an agreed-upon or standardized method for transmitting data and/or establishing communications between different devices.

9. Define:- repeaters, hub, switches, bridge, routers, gateway and their uses. HUB:- it is a signal distributer. Hubs are device used to connect nodes one another forexample when you use a star topology they also called concentrator. They are intelligent LAN concentrator. Types of hub:A) Passive hub b) Active hub c) Hybrid hub
