VeriSign® i-Nav Plug-in and Components
The components of the i-Nav suite provide functionality
for Internationalized Domain Names (IDNs) in Windows applications: Internet
Explorer, Outlook, Outlook Express and the Windows Address Book. The
NAVI updater facilitates the delivery of new services to users as well
as updates. Utilizing this mechanism, Surf Assist, distributed to users
in Korea, redirects all search and keyword traffic to Yahoo, Korea.
The software can be delivered either as an ActiveX component through
a network of Akamai caching servers worldwide or as a standalone executable
off the specific i-Nav Web site located at: “Web Addresses in Your Own
Language” or www.idnnow.com.
A component of the i-Nav suite in an Open Source
SDK facilitates integration by application developers interested in
enabling IDN capabilities natively to their application. This C library
called “Xcode” provides for the encoding/decoding of IDNs to the Internet
Engineering Task Force (IETF) RFC’s. For information about this library,
go to IDN
Registrars and Resellers Implementation Tools.
