Synopsis

Electronic Business in Logistic: Exercise Materials. "Electronic Business in Logistics" is a set of course materials by Mihael Plevnik and Borut Jereb for the course Electronic Business in Logistics at the Faculty of Logistics, University of Maribor. The textbook combines a theoretical introduction with hands-on exercises covering electronic business, standardized data formats (e.g., XML, XPath), and digital security, including basic cryptographic mechanisms for secure information exchange such as encryption, hash calculation, and digital signatures. It is designed to help students progressively acquire the knowledge and practical skills needed in today's digitalized logistics environment, enabling them to independently perform basic data-protection procedures and use selected software tools. The material primarily supports classroom and self-directed learning, while also serving as a reference guide for later professional work in information security within logistics.
