Existing structured signature schemes are based on multisignature schemes, which are adapted for verification of a structure if all signers sign the same document. However, if each signer wants to sign a document different from those of other signers, another scheme that is based on an aggregate signature scheme is required. To resolve the above problem, a denoted connective signature is generated in this scheme and can be adapted for verification of variant structures with its expansion. In addition, the authors show examples of effective content approval systems, which can be realize with verifying not only who signs but also which division each of signers belongs to.

For the latter, with so many cloud providers to choose from, there is a need for an evaluation of standards to help find the most suitable service provider.

In order to be sustainable in a briskly changing turbulent environment, organisations need to have access to information about their operational performance. BI tools play a vital role in supporting the decision makers at different organisational levels. As these tools are becoming critical in decision making, it has become not only an information technology concern but also a management concern. Without proper governance it would be impractical to achieve the value that BI tools offer. Adopting a BI governance framework in organisations will lead to common principles and clear ownership over information. Additionally, appropriate alignment between corporate governance and BI governance can yield more benefits. This paper provides an insight into the importance and value of BI tools. Key functionalities of BI tools have also been highlighted. Different challenges in gaining true value from BI tools have been examined. Four phases of developing a BI governance framework have been illustrated. The alignment between BI governance and corporate governance has also been explored with a recommended model. Exploratory analysis of two organisations (Premier Healthcare Alliance & BellSouth Telecommunications) to identify how they have utilised BI tools and adopted BI governance has been briefly carried out. The paper posits that if the steps for developing a BI framework are adopted by organisations and the BI framework is aligned with the corporate framework, BI deployment and usage will be successful with reduced risk levels.

People scan for the headlines and graphics (usually in pictures, graphs, charts) that draw their interest. They spend less time to consider whether it is worth further reading. Interactive, Multimedia and Video infographics can be created in 3D to make it more appreciative than regular illustrative pictures and text, especially for the difficult and complicated contents.

Information systems are considered a valuable asset and have the attention of the strategic and marketing decision floors. Use of information system and ICT in the banking industry have become indispensable, and have replaced traditional operations with electronic banking concepts. Electronic banking has brought many challenges for strategic managers to achieve strategic goals and overall customers’ satisfaction. This research study aims to investigate the impact of electronic banking in the context of IT usage, ease of use, its usefulness and the customer satisfaction among the Pakistan banking industry. Pakistan’s top five commercial banks were selected in five districts of KPK for data collection. Three hundred and three electronic banking customers were interviewed through a questionnaire containing 21 relative questions. The SPSS is used for the analysis, on data collected through the questionnaire. Descriptive analysis, correlation, regression and ANOVA have been computed for the results interpretations. From these results, it was found that the customers strongly agree to use information technology for banking operations, but they believe that the use of electronic banking has problems. The management should focus on its method of use. The customers suggested that the electronic banking operations should be simplified, should be user friendly, should be easy to understand, and thus its usefulness will enhance in achieving highly satisfied customers.

The accelerated growth in the ecommerce volumes has attracted the attention of foreign investors who have started to invest in such companies. As the consumers’ online shopping habits develop and the interest in the field grows, many startups continue to be founded. The fast expansion of the industry has led to the birth of new professions and sub-industries, already providing significant contribution to the economy. Companies unheard of just a few years ago have caught up with much more established companies in terms of turnover, projects with no promise have turned into huge successes with the right planning and effort. Women entrepreneurs are taking their place in ecommerce, as in many other industries, and they have already proven to be successful in this area too. This study provides information about the developments in the Turkish ecommerce industry as well as the success story of a woman entrepreneur as a case study.
