Secure backwards

Theorem 7.19 (Security backwards and forwards). In standard fail-stop signature schemes, security for the signer backwards implies security for the signer forwards. ... 

In this paper, we use three criteria to measure security forward confidentiality, backward confidentiality and collusion problem. As we know, static SDR maintains forward ackward confidentiality, and has no collusion problem. We find that those properties hold for dynamic SDR. 

For that purpose a secure timeserver is introduced. In this role an agent running within the platform is acting. The time agent supports two modes of operation as described in [1] forward-time hash function and backward-time hash function. The forward-time constructions permit key generation only after a given time. And the backward-time constructions permit key generation only before it. 

Wrap the protruding film backwards around the cassette and secure it with a rubber band. 

The dog is placed on an undersheet and its head is secured by an assistant. The upper and lower jaws are separated by exerting pressure on the Ups with both hands. The stomach tube moistened with mains water is introduced into the open throat. Caution do not introduce the tube in the trachea. Pour mains water into the glass funnel fitted on the stomach tube over the nonreturn valve to check that the tube is correctly positioned. If outflow difficulties occur, adjust the position of the tube by moving it slightly backwards and forwards. Then introduce the test substance to be administered. Then rinse the tube and remove. 

To reduce their sourcing risks, European petrochemical companies may thus benefit from some degree of backward integration into olefines. Players with limited olefine production capacity are probably in the best possible position they can secure supplies while avoiding the temptation to undercut prices of downstream products during downturns. Players with an excess of olefines may be exposed to this temptation in order to maximize the capacity utilization of their olefine production, where fixed costs tend to be high. 

Security for the signer will be defined in two ways. The reason is that previous definitions avoided the concept of probabilistic interactive functions in favour of better-known notions. (This could originally be done because only simple versions of key generation were considered.) Now it is simpler to make a forward definition that deals explicitly with an interactive attacker strategy that carries out authentications and one dispute. This section contains such a forward definition. The backward definition from previous publications and a proof that it is slightly (and unnecessarily) stronger than the forward definition are presented in Section 7.2.1. Nevertheless, some of the later sections are based on the backward definition.

Lemma 7.20. If a standard fail-stop signature scheme is secure for the signer backwards, then for all attacker strategies (B, F) as in Definition 7.13 and all parameters par as in Definition 7.1 or 7.2, respectively ... 

Proof sketch of Theorem 7.34. For Part a) of the theorem, the four parts of the security definition (Definition 7.15) are treated in Parts A to D of the following proof. However, effectiveness of authentication in Part B of the proof is immediately proved in the error-free sense, which also yields Part b) of the theorem. Similarly, in Part D of the proof, security for the signer backwards (Definition 7.17e) is proved immediately this implies security for the signer forwards according to Theorem 7.19 and is required in Part c) of the theorem. The requirement from Definition 7.17f is proved in Part E. 

Remark 10.11 (Security for the signer forwards). Currently, security for the signer backwards has been assumed in the one-time scheme and proved in the new scheme. If one wanted to obtain a similar theorem for security forwards, one would have to increase the parameter a in Construction 10.9 by adding log2(iV). because the attacker has more chances to come into a situation where he can make an improvable successful forgery. The same holds for the following constructions. ... 

Actually, not arbitrary signature schemes with fail-stop security according to Chapter 5 are considered at present, but only standard fail-stop signature schemes as defined in Chapter 7, and security for the signer backwards and error-free effectiveness of authentication, at least in the case where all parties carry out key generation correctly, are assumed. ... 

More precisely (similar to the definition of security for the signer backwards. Definition 7.17) ... 

Chemical companies have scrambled to secure needed raw materials, and this also accounts for some of the large capital expenditures. An example was Du Font s purchase of Conoco for the oil, gas, and coal raw material the latter had. Other companies integrated backward and produced their own raw materials. Still others spent heavily to convert crude oil to petrochemical feedstocks. 

Commercial software (currently, Microsoft, Corel, AutoDesk, etc.) upgrades that are issued every year or two should be evaluated for backward compatibility, bugs, and security flaws. Lack of compatibility may prevent opening some files and corrupt others. Replacement of specific scientific software should be evaluated for consistency in aspects such as look-up tables, algorithms and calculation routines. 

Come on, Kelly." Kate squeezed her shoulder. "We know it was rough, we felt it for ourselves. But the quarantine is going to stop the possessed from spreading, and now we re alert to the problem the security forces can contain them if there is an outbreak. They won on Lalonde because it s so damn backwards."... 

To density a bulk material by expressing air from the voids, it is essential that the bulk material is not in a fluidized condition, otherwise the material will leak backwards through the screw form. When the supply material is in a highly dilated state, the feed hopper design should be of mass flow form with sufficient residence time for the material to de-aerate to a stable flow condition. Note that a mass flow hopper will not prevent the development of a preferential flow path for a bulk material in a fluidized condition. If necessary, techniques to accelerate de-aeration should be employed to secure a bulk condition that is amenable to screw compaction, e.g. vibrating rod frames, as described by the author in Bulk Solids Handling, 1986, Vol. 6, No. 1, p. 77. 

Liquids may be measured and transferred using a graduated pipette and a pipette pump. The style of pipette pump shown in Figure 5.3A is available in four sizes. The 2-mL size (blue) works well wifh the range of pipettes previously indicated. To fill the pipette, one simply rotates the knurled wheel forward so that the piston moves upward. The liquid is discharged by slowly turning the wheel backward until the proper amount of liquid has been expelled. The top of the pipette must be inserted securely into the pump and held there with one hand to obtain an adequate seal. The other hand is used to load and release the liquid. 

As usual, mechanisms stick in the mind most securely if we are ahle to write them backward. Backward is an arbitrary term anyway, because by definition an equilibrium runs both ways. Carbonyl addition reactions are about to grow more complex, and you run the risk of being overwhelmed by a vast number of proton additions and losses in the somewhat more complicated reactions that follow. Be sure you are completely comfortable with the acid-catalyzed and base-catalyzed hydration reactions in both directions before you go on. That advice is important. 

The contents of this book look both forwards and backwards we must remember mistakes from the past but we must also look toward the technologies of the future. From the past, boiler explosions may now be a rarity but we have to be mindful of the lessons of the past to avoid any complacency. At the other extreme, digital control systems are the present and the future, but engineers and scientists must strive to continue to find better ways of making them safe. Also for the future, a relatively new risk, cyber security, became world headline news in 2010 when the world s first industrial cyber weapon, Stuxnet, was discovered. 

Maintain safety/security of life and health . The selected approach involves a form of backwards risk analysis , or risk analysis starting from the consequences, see e.g. (Aven 2009), which means that we first select the consequences that we are most concerned about, and then find events that could lead to these consequences. This of course means that not all events that could lead to consequences in terms of the societal values are included instead, focus is placed on certain types of events that will challenge the emergency preparedness.
