- README.TXT
-
-
- Introduction ***************************************************
-
- Thank you for using CheckFree Wallet with CyberCash, the secure
- online payment method for electronic commerce. CheckFree Wallet
- offers the most secure, easy, and convenient way to purchase
- products and services over the Internet.
-
- CheckFree Wallet is offered by Checkfree Corporation, the
- nation's leader in electronic commerce solutions, in conjunction

-
- If you need help as you are configuring CheckFree Wallet, online
- help is available by clicking the Help button at the bottom of
- most dialog boxes. We are aware that early releases of a software

-
-
- Installation ***************************************************
-
- CheckFree Wallet software is provided free of charge. You can
- download CheckFree Wallet software and/or software updates from
- the CheckFree home page (http://www.checkfree.com) or from many
- merchant home pages while you shop.
-
- When you download and run the WINCYBER.EXE self-extracting
- archive routine, six files are copied to your computer. These
- files are used by the setup application during the installation
- of CheckFree Wallet.
-
- If you receive CheckFree Wallet on a diskette rather than by
- downloading, you will not have a self-extracting archive routine.
- Instead, all of the files necessary for installation have already
- been extracted and are ready for use on the diskette.
-
-
- Follow these instructions to install CheckFree Wallet:
-
- Before You Install
-
- 1. Back-up your CheckFree Wallet software
-
- 2. If you are upgrading existing Wallet software, back-up your
- data files
-
- 3. Be sure you have at least 2 MB hard disk space free
-
- 4. Turn off any virus protection programs, they may interfere
- with the installation
-
- 5. Quit any open applications
-
- 6. If you receive CheckFree Wallet on a diskette, proceed
- directly to step 10 in the next section, Installing CheckFree
- Wallet. If you downloaded CheckFree Wallet, continue with
- steps 7 - 9 below.
-
- 7. Create a temporary directory:
-
- MKDIR C:\TEMP
-
- This README file will use C:\TEMP as an example
-
- 8. Copy the self-extracting archive, WINCYBER.EXE, to the
- temporary directory
-
- 9. Run WINCYBER.EXE to extract the installation files to your
- computer
-
- Users who are installing CheckFree Wallet as an upgrade or in
- place of other Wallet applications (CompuServe Wallet with
- CheckFree or CyberCash Wallet) will need to make a small
- modification to the .INI file(s) of their Web browser(s). All of
- these Wallet applications share a common entry in browser .INI
- files. Before running the SETUP application, delete all lines
- that contain ôCYBERö from the browser .INI file(s). This deletion
- will enable the SETUP application to make the modifications
- necessary to run CheckFree Wallet.
-
-
- Installing CheckFree Wallet
-
- 10. Return to Windows (or launch Windows) and type one of the
- following commands in the Windows File/Run dialog box:
-
- If you received CheckFree Wallet on a diskette, type
-
- A:\SETUP
-
- where A:\ is the name of the drive where you have placed
- the CheckFree Wallet diskette.
-
- OR
-
- If you downloaded CheckFree Wallet, type
-
- C:\TEMP\SETUP
-
- where C:\TEMP is the name of the directory where you have
- extracted the CheckFree Wallet files.
-
- This launches a typical Windows setup routine that installs
- CheckFree Wallet and links it to your Web browser. The setup
- routine presents a dialog box asking for the directory where
- CheckFree Wallet will be installed. This directory is
- different than the temporary directory used to download and
- extract the files.
-
- 11. Click OK to accept the default directory (CFWALLET), where
- CheckFree Wallet files will be installed, or type a different
- directory name. If the specified directory does not exist, it
- will be created at this time.
-
- CheckFree Wallet automatically searches your computer for any
- installed Web browsers and asks if these browsers should be
- linked to CheckFree Wallet. A dialog box is displayed asking
- to link CheckFree Wallet to browsers.
-
- 12. Click Yes to automatically modify the browser .INI file(s).
- This allows the browser(s) to recognize CheckFree Wallet. If
- more than one browser is installed on your computer, you must
- respond Yes or No to the prompt for each browser.
-
- Additional Web browsers may be linked to CheckFree Wallet at
- a later time. Simply use the Web Browser function located in
- the Miscellaneous area of the Wallet Administration menu to
- link other browsers. Details are given in a later section of
- this file.
-
- When CheckFree Wallet is installed, a new program group called
- CheckFree Wallet is created. This contains an icon for CheckFree
- Wallet program and a Notepad icon for this README file.
-
- A dialog box appears telling you that a wallet persona containing
- your credit card information must be created before you can use
- CheckFree Wallet to make purchases.
-
-
- Creating a New Persona *****************************************
-
- Before you can use CheckFree Wallet, you must enter critical
- information such as a unique Wallet ID, a password, and other
- information specific to online security. This information (called
- a persona) identifies you as the legitimate bearer of the credit
- information, and is stored on your computer using an RSA
- public/private key encryption method. Your persona is entered in
- the system only once.
-
- A persona can be thought of as an individual wallet. Using
- personas, you have the ability to create multiple wallets on one
- computer. You can create one persona for yourself and others for
- a spouse, friend, child, etc.
-
- When you enter your credit card information it is linked to your
- persona. This information is securely encrypted and transmitted
- to CheckFree for confirmation with the bank that issued the card.
-
- To enter a persona:
-
- 13. At the New Persona dialog box, click New to enter your wallet
- persona. If you do not wish to enter your persona at this
- time, you can access CheckFree Wallet Administration dialog
- box later by double-clicking the CheckFree Wallet icon on
- your desktop.
-
- When you click New, your Web browser initiates a
- communications test and attempts to communicate with the
- CheckFree server on the Internet. In order for this
- communications test to occur, you must be online and have an
- active connection to your Internet service provider.
-
- 14. When communications are successful, a Wallet software
- licensing screen appears. Please read and understand the
- license agreement before clicking "I Agree" to continue. If
- you do not wish to agree to the licensing terms, click "I Do
- Not Agree" to exit the installation routine.
-
- 15. At the CheckFree Wallet Persona Information dialog box, enter
- an ID that will be used with your Wallet. This ID must be at
- least 6 characters long (example: John Doe).
-
- 16. Enter your Internet e-mail address.
-
- 17. Select the language you wish to use with CheckFree Wallet.
- English is the only selection available at this time.
-
- 18. Click OK to continue to the Password dialog box.
-
- 19. Enter a password in the first field, then press Tab and enter
- the same password (for confirmation) in the next field.
- CheckFree Wallet automatically generates unique security keys
- that will ensure that your wallet persona information is
- completely secure. When your security keys are generated, a
- dialog box appears prompting you to store copies of these
- keys. For security purposes, you should store the copies on
- floppy diskettes rather than your hard drive.
-
- 20. Identify the disk location for security key storage, and
- click OK. When the keys have been backed up to the selected
- location, remove the floppy diskette and store the copy in a
- safe place.
-
- The Link Credit Card dialog box appears, and you are now ready to
- enter credit card information. Press the Tab key or use the mouse
- to move from field to field. The Link screen contains all the
- information needed for you to pay for purchases with a credit
- card using CheckFree Wallet. Be sure to complete each field
- correctly.
-
- As you fill out this screen, online help is available by clicking
- the Help button at the bottom of the screen.
-
-
- In the Credit Card section:
-
- 21. Enter your credit card number. A graphic representing the
- credit card type (Visa, MasterCard, etc.) appears based on
- the first four digits of the credit card number, and its name
- is selected in the pull-down menu box beside the card number.
- If this card type is incorrect, you can select the correct
- type using the pull down menu.
-
- 22. Enter your Customer Identification Number if the credit card
- is American Express.
-
- 23. Enter the Expiration Date and Card Description (such as
- "John's Business Visa") in the appropriate boxes. The
- description provides a way to attach unique names to your
- credit cards. This is especially useful when you are using
- multiple cards of the same type.
-
-
- In the Billing Address section:
-
- 24. Enter your street address, city, state, and zip code. This
- information must be entered exactly as it appears on your
- credit card billing statement.
-
- 25. For international use, enter your country code. Click the
- Help button for online help if you do not know the country
- code. This field defaults to the United States and is
- optional for purchases made within the United States.
-
- 26. Enter your area code and telephone number.
-
- 27. Click OK if the information is correct. Click Cancel if you
- do not want to enter the persona information at this time. If
- you click Cancel, any information entered in the fields will
- not be saved.
-
- When you click OK, the new persona is encrypted and sent to
- CheckFree for confirmation. You are now ready to use CheckFree
- Wallet. Additional credit cards can be added at a later date
- using the CheckFree Wallet Administration menu. Please read the
- section at the end of this file for more information on the
- administration features available through this dialog box.
-
-
- Using CheckFree Wallet *****************************************
-
- Shopping online with CheckFree Wallet is as simple as shopping in
- a local store or placing catalog orders using your telephone. In
- fact, shopping remotely on the Internet is more convenient
- because you can:
-
- * Read detailed product descriptions
- * View full-color screen graphics of the items
- * Check inventory before you purchase
- * View multimedia product demonstrations
- * Read additional product information such as warranties and
- shipping terms
-
- To purchase goods and services with CheckFree Wallet:
-
- 1. Log onto the Internet and access the Merchant's Web site
- where you wish to shop. A list of merchants that accept
- Wallet transactions can be found at the end of this section.
-
- 2. Browse the merchant's pages of product information (all
- linked for easy navigation) and place items selected for
- purchase in your "virtual shopping basket." The shopping
- basket is a running list that tracks the items you mark for
- purchase. Items in the basket are tallied by unit price,
- quantity and total purchase price including applicable sales
- tax and shipping and handling charges so you know exactly how
- much you are spending. (NOTE: The shopping metaphor used by
- each merchant, such as the virtual shopping basket, and the
- information presented may differ from merchant to merchant.)
-
- 3. When you have finished shopping, click the Purchase button on
- the bottom of the Shopping Basket page to pay using CheckFree
- Wallet. (NOTE: Buttons and wording on shopping pages may
- differ from merchant to merchant. Click the button that best
- describes what you want to do.)
-
- When you select Purchase, the browser shows the types of
- payment methods that are accepted by the merchant, and
- displays an order summary page. You may also have to complete
- fields in other dialog boxes such as shipping information.
-
- During the purchase process, your CheckFree Wallet will
- automatically be activated and appear on your screen.
-
- 4. Enter your CheckFree Wallet password. When the password is
- entered correctly, CheckFree Wallet accesses the encrypted
- account information stored on your computer and displays a
- Request For Payment page with a list of accepted credit cards
- that are configured in your CheckFree Wallet. (NOTE: If the
- Merchant does not accept a card that you have in your Wallet,
- that card is disabled and is not available for use.)
-
- 5. Select the credit card you wish to from the cards available
- in the list. When you click on the credit card name, the
- account information you loaded previously is encrypted and
- passed to the Merchant.
-
- From this point, the Merchant completes the purchase transaction.
- The payment request is sent to CheckFree for authorization and
- funds transfer (settlement). Like credit card purchases made in a
- traditional store, an authorization response is returned
- immediately to the merchant who then begins the process to ship
- the goods you purchased. A final dialog box appears on your Web
- browser indicating successful credit card payment and giving a
- purchase and payment summary.
-
-
- A Sample Shopping Adventure ************************************
-
- Lets look at a sample shopping adventure at WebThreads, a
- fictitious merchant on the Web.
-
- 1. Chris wants some new clothes and is anxious to shop on the
- Internet at WebThreads.
-
- 2. WebThreads' home page is filled with a variety of eye-
- catching graphics that present basic information such as
- payment methods accepted, contact information, and hyperlinks
- to specific shopping pages. Chris clicks on the Special Sales
- and Offers message to browse the shopping pages. This page
- lists and briefly describes the sweater styles that are on
- sale. A photograph of each style gives Chris a good idea of
- what each style actually looks like.
-
- 3. Chris likes the Wool Cable sweater, and clicks on it to
- display another page with specific information pertaining
- only to this sweater. On this page, Chris sees a larger, more
- detailed photograph of the sweater with a detailed
- description and ordering information. Also on this page are
- links to the Shopping Basket, and additional shopping pages.
-
- 4. The blue sweater looks perfect, but the red one may be nice
- too. Chris clicks on Red in the color list to view the
- sweater in red. Too bright! The blue one is best after all.
-
- 5. Next Chris completes the Quantity field, then clicks the Add
- to Shopping Basket button to add the item to the list of
- items to purchase. The Shopping Basket page is automatically
- displayed showing all of the items selected so far including
- unit cost, quantity, and basket totals. (Chris could have
- clicked the Continue Shopping at WebThreads button without
- adding the sweater to the list if desired.)
-
- 6. Chris is done shopping for now and clicks the Purchase Items
- in Your Basket button to make the purchase. Chris completes
- the fields of the Shipping Address dialog box, then the
- payment page appears displaying the CheckFree Wallet password
- dialog box.
-
- 7. Chris enters a password that gives access to CheckFree
- Wallet. In Chris' Wallet, the American Express is disabled
- because WebThreads does not accept that form of payment.
- (Good thing Chris didn't need to leave home!)
-
- 8. Chris selects Visa. All of the account information is
- encrypted and passed to WebThreads for processing and order
- fulfillment. A final dialog box appears indicating successful
- credit card payment and gives a purchase and payment summary.
- Chris has purchased the sweater.

- service are paid by merchants as part of their standard
- credit card transaction costs.
-
-
- Q. What's the difference between CheckFree Wallet with
- CyberCash, CompuServe Wallet with CheckFree, and CyberCash
- Wallet?
-
- A. To the consumer, there is no difference. All of these Wallets
- are completely compatible and can be used for payment at any
- merchant that accepts a Wallet. As CheckFree technology is
- incorporated into other Internet applications you may see
- more co-branded wallets. Don't worry, your CheckFree Wallet
- will always be accepted by on-line merchants!
-
-
- Q. Is CheckFree Wallet secure?
-
- A. Yes, CheckFree Wallet is extremely secure. All of your
- sensitive credit card information is protected by secure
- encryption technology licensed from RSA Data Security, Inc.
- Your credit card information is protected by a 768-bit, dual-
- key encryption system. The information is encrypted both on
- your computer and during transmission.
-
-
- Q. Can "hackers" on the Internet get and use my credit card
- number?
-
- A. No. Your credit card information resides only on your
- computer and all data is encrypted both on your computer and
- before it is transmitted on the Internet.
-
-
- Q. I already use a secure web browser, why do I need
- CheckFree Wallet?
-
- A. First, CheckFree Wallet is completely compatible with all of
- the secure web browsers and servers currently on the market.
- Since CheckFree Wallet only encrypts financial information,
- it can use the strongest available encryption technology and
- still be exportable. CheckFree Wallet is a more secure and
- convenient method of Internet commerce for both consumers and
- merchants.
-
-
- Q. What merchants use CheckFree Wallet? How can I find out who
- uses CheckFree Wallet?
-
- A. More and more merchants are using CheckFree Wallet because
- their customers appreciate the ease and security of commerce
- on the Internet. A complete list of Wallet-associated
- merchants can be obtained on the CheckFree Web site
- (http://www.checkfree.com).
-
-
- Q. I shop at local stores and through printed catalogs, why do I
- need to shop on-line?
-
- A. Think of the World Wide Web as the world's largest store,
- open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. You have the ability to
- shop at your convenience and can visit as many or as few
- places as you like. Stores and merchandise, unavailable
- locally, are readily available on the Internet. You don't
- have to fill out lengthy order forms and you never have to
- wait on the phone for the next available operator.
-
-
- Q. What if I want to return a purchase or am not satisfied with
- the merchandise I purchase online?
-
- A. Your online purchases are identical to those made at a local
- store or over the telephone. Return policies are established
- by the merchant and are not changed by the method of payment.
- All returns and problems should be handled directly through
- the merchant. Also, when a purchase is made with a credit
- card there may be extended solutions available to consumers.
-
-
- Q. What is a persona and why is it used in a payment?
-
- A. The persona is a representation of the consumer when payments
- are made on the Internet. The persona name can be your name
- or other highly identifying group of characters (e.g.
- JeffSmith, BigBadWolf, etc.) Using a persona, consumers are
- given a high degree of privacy in payment transactions. This
- privacy is balanced by the merchant's need for authentication
- and anti-tampering in a payment service.
-
-
- Q. What is credit card linking?
-
- A. When you prepare CheckFree Wallet software for use, you must
- associate information from the credit cards you intend to use
- when you shop. Information such as the credit card number,
- expiration date, name, and address is encrypted and stored on
- your computer until you are ready to make a purchase and
- transmit the payment information to the merchant.
-
-
- Q. Does CheckFree or the online merchant keep track of my credit
- card numbers?
-
- A. Absolutely not! Your credit card information is encrypted and
- stored only on your computer. Every time you make a purchase,
- the information is encrypted and transmitted through the
- merchant to CheckFree. This information is used only for
- authorization and settlement of the credit card transaction
- and is not stored for any future use. Unlike other Internet
- commerce systems that keep your credit card information in a
- database, CheckFree Wallet links all sensitive information to
- your persona. You are the only one who stores that
- information.
-
-
- Q. How does the payment process work?
-
- A. To the consumer it's not important to completely understand
- the payment process. But, since you are paying with a credit
- card the process is similar to that which occurs when you
- shop at a local store or over the telephone.
-
- At your request, encrypted payment instructions are sent to
- the merchant. The merchant adds their version of the payment
- instructions to the still-encrypted information and digitally
- "signs" the packet of information. CheckFree receives the
- encrypted information and decrypts everything. To guard
- against fraud, CheckFree compares the consumer's version of
- the payment instructions to merchantÆs version. If everything
- matches, an authorization request is sent to the appropriate
- credit card network. CheckFree receives an authorization or
- decline code from the credit card network and forwards this
- response to the merchant. After authorization, the
- appropriate funds are debited from the consumer's credit card
- account and credited to the merchant's account.
-
-
- Q. Can I use CheckFree Wallet on other platforms?
-
- A. Currently CheckFree Wallet is available only for Microsoft
- Windows 3.1. The software has been successfully used on OS/2,
- Windows 95, and Windows NT machines but no support is
- currently being provided for these platforms. Future releases
- of CheckFree Wallet will be available for other platforms
- including the Macintosh OS.
-
-
- Q. Is CheckFree Wallet based on an open standard?
-
- A. Yes, CheckFree Wallet is based on an open standard. This
- means that other companies can add features or services based
- upon CheckFree Wallet technology and that the technology will
- be adopted and used by a wide range of merchants. The
- protocol behind this open standard is described in the
- Internet draft CyberCash Credit Card Protocol dated 7/8/95
- (ftp://ds.internic.net/internet-drafts/draft-eastlake-
- cybercash-v08.txt.)
-
-
- Q. Is CheckFree Wallet exportable?
-
- A. Yes, CheckFree Wallet -- including the secure encryption
- system -- has been approved for export by the US government.
- The US government limits export of encryption technology to
- small keys only for bulk encryption applications. In bulk
- encryption, the system encrypts all information that is
- passed between two computer systems. Since CheckFree Wallet
- encrypts only the credit card information, the US government
- allows export of the larger, 768-bit, key.
-
-
- Q. Which World Wide Web browsers have been tested for use with
- CheckFree Wallet?
-
- A. The following Web browsers have been tested and validated for
- this version of CheckFree Wallet (other browsers not included
- in this list may also work):

- Common Problems and Solutions **********************************
-
- Problem: The browser did not download CheckFree Wallet
- software.
-
- Solution: Check the browser/communication parameters and be
- sure the software is configured to download. This
- parameter is often found under the Preferences menu.
-
-
- Problem: CheckFree Wallet files are lost on my computer.
-
- Solution: The browser may have downloaded the files to a
- default location that you are unaware of. Use
- Windows' "Find" command to locate the files. Search
- for the file name WINCYBER.EXE. Be sure to start the
- search from the root directory (C:\) and include all
- directories and subdirectories in the search.
-
- If you have run the self-extracting archive routine
- (WINCYBER.EXE) and cannot find the extracted files,
- you can also use the Windows' "Find" command to
- locate the files. Search for the file name
- CFWALLET.*. Be sure to start the search from the root
- directory (C:\) and include all directories and
- subdirectories in the search.
-
-
- Problem: The download process began successfully but did not
- finish completely.
-
- Solution: CheckFree Wallet software is approximately 600K in
- size and takes approximately 6 to 8 minutes to
- download using a 14.4 modem. Some modems work faster
- than others, and some browsers do not indicate when
- a download is in progress. Do not give up too soon
- or you might interrupt the download process.
-
-
- Problem: CheckFree Wallet software is not available for use
- when I am on the Web.
-
- Solution: Be sure your Internet "complete package" has WINSOCK
- connection capabilities to the Internet. If a
- WINSOCK connection is not supported, you cannot use
- CheckFree Wallet at this time.
-
-
- Problem: CheckFree Wallet software is not available for use
- through my Web browser.
-
- Solution: Most commercial and shareware Web browsers are
- supported by CheckFree Wallet. If you would like to
- try an unsupported browser, you may setup CheckFree
- Wallet as a viewer/helper application yourself. Each
- browser has a different method to do this, but the
- following information is essential:
-
- File Type: application
- Mime Type: x-cybercash
- Suffix: .cym
- Application: cyber.exe
- (This file is in the directory
- specified during the setup process.)
-
- NOTE: CheckFree Wallet will not work with Web
- browsers that contain their own TCP/IP stack. Support
- for these browsers may be included in future
- releases.
-
-
- Problem: I cannot get past the call for Proxy information to
- use CheckFree Wallet.
-
- Solution: Some organizations set up a "firewall" to keep
- unauthorized users out of their systems. If you are
- facing a firewall, you must have an HTTP proxy for
- CheckFree Wallet to work. You can enter the proxy you
- are using through the Software Options selection from
- the CheckFree Wallet Administration dialog box. When
- the correct proxy information is entered and saved,
- you should have no further trouble getting past the
- firewall.
-
-
- Online help may also be available by clicking the Help button on
- the bottom of most CheckFree Wallet dialog boxes.
