8. People want to be provided with choice :
– Choice of content providers
– Choice of media (video, music…)
–…
People want openness :
– Internet for everyone
– Freedom of speech
– Choice without any

11. DATA ON THE WEB :
to develop the open data ecosystem, facilitating better communication
between developers and publishers;
to provide guidance to publishers that will improve consistency in the way
data is managed, thus promoting the re-use of data;
to foster trust in the data among developers, whatever technology they
choose to use, increasing the potential for genuine innovation.
The guidance will take two forms: a set of best practices that apply to
multiple technologies, and vocabularies currently missing but that are
needed to support the data ecosystem on the Web.
W3C France Office - GFII - 6 Décembre 2013

12. CSV ON THE WEB :
Provide technologies whereby data dependent applications
on the Web can provide higher interoperability when working
with datasets using the CSV format :
mechanisms for interpreting a set of CSVs as relational data
(definition of a vocabulary for describing tables expressed as CSV, and
the relationships between them)
Objective: CSVs as 5 star data - a format that allows data to be linked
to other sources - using the Web as an intelligent data platform rather
than as a simple distribution system for files containing inaccessible
data
W3C France Office - GFII - 6 Décembre 2013

13. Provides a common framework to share
data across applications, enterprises, and
communities
Participation from a large number of

Web

Framework RDF, OWL, SPARQL

Linked data…) involving worldwide leaders
(Google, Baidu, Yandex…)

19. Ease of phishing are a threat to card
payment
"Improved" security for card payments:
3DSecure :
Branded as Verified by VISA and MasterCard
SecureCode
User authentication and confirmation of
payment in HTML IFRAME
"Verified by Visa and MasterCard
SecureCode: or, How Not to
Design Authentication", Steven J.
Murdoch and Ross Anderson, Financial
Security and Cryptography, January
2010
W3C France Office - GFII - 6 Décembre 2013
Users still have to enter card details and a
password, facilitating phishing
Shifting liability onto the card holder through
legal loophole!
19

20. Using the customer's phone as a separate communications
channel
Using a proprietary device, e.g. Chip Authentication Program
(CAP)
Handheld device issued by bank with display, keypad and card slot
User inserts card for one of several supported authentication
protocols
Finger swipe or PIN entry in conjunction with Secure Element
Secure element with compute and storage resources, e.g. SIM or
microSD
Mastercard chip authentification
Program (CPA)
Secure element generates proof of user's presence following local
authentication of user
⇒ Need to separate identity and authentication - lack of
global standards
