    Web Authentication ( WebAuthn) is a web standard published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). [1] [2] [3] WebAuthn is a core component of the FIDO2 Project under the guidance of the FIDO Alliance. [4] The goal of the project is to standardize an interface for authenticating users to web-based applications and services using public-key ...

  4. Photovoltaic system performance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photovoltaic_system...

    An essential part of PV system performance evaluation is the availability and the quality of energy generation data. Access to the Internet has allowed a further improvement in energy monitoring and communication. Typically, PV plant data is transmitted via a data logger to a central monitoring portal. Data transmission is dependent on the ...
