answer:Yes, certainly. Currently, there are only three companies approved by the Defense Department to sell IECA certificates to contractors working with them. These companies are VeriSign Inc., Digital Signature Trust Co. Of Salt Lake City, and Operational Research Consultants Inc. Of Chesapeake, Va. Any other certificates are not deemed compatible with the Defense Department's PKI (public key infrastructure) initiative. According to an executive at VeriSign, there are roughly 350,000 companies working with the Defense Department that need IECA certificates. VeriSign can deploy certificates in under 48 hours and larger integrators are requesting competitive bids for IECA certificates costing from roughly 70,000 to several hundred thousand dollars for installations requiring 1,000 to 10,000 certificates.

Young children play games and ride bikes while teenagers gather around street performers to listen to their music. Adults sit at outdoor cafes sipping coffee and chatting with friends, and colleagues gather on benches to discuss business. The streets are full of activity and life. The locals dress in a variety of styles, from chic and trendy to classic and traditional. You may see people wearing colorful dresses and skirts, layered with light jackets and denim jackets. The men wear simple T-shirts with cargo pants, and some can be seen wearing fedoras to shield themselves from the sun. Accessories such as sunglasses and hats can be seen all around, and it's not uncommon to see a variety of designer bags slung from the arms of stylish passersby. The city truly comes alive in the afternoons and it's not hard to picture yourself getting lost in the crowds, taking in all the excitement and energy of the locals as you wander the enchanting streets.

answer:Absolutely! Street performers are a common sight in this city on any given afternoon. From guitarists and saxophonists to drummers and flutists, the performers play a range of musical instruments and genres that cater to all musical tastes. Some play covers of popular songs, while others showcase original compositions. The vibrant notes of jazz and soul music are prevalent, but you can also find classical music, folk tunes, and even modern pop songs! As for their appearance, some performers dress in funky and colorful outfits, perhaps wearing a hat that is adorned with feathers or carrying small percussion instruments such as tambourines. Others go for a more classic look, wearing tailored suits and ties to complement the sounds of their classical instruments like the violin or the cello. It's not uncommon to see the crowds of onlookers enchanted and swaying to the beats, and many people will gather around the performers, tossing coins and bills into their open instrument cases as a show of appreciation for their incredible talent.
