Cryptographic Properties Sample Clauses

The CRYPTOGRAPHIC PROPERTIES clause defines the requirements and standards for the use of cryptographic methods within the scope of the agreement. It typically specifies which encryption algorithms, key lengths, or security protocols must be used to protect data, and may require compliance with industry standards such as AES or RSA. This clause ensures that sensitive information is adequately safeguarded against unauthorized access or tampering, thereby reducing the risk of data breaches and maintaining the integrity and confidentiality of communications or stored data.
Cryptographic Properties. In this section we summarize the desired properties for a secure group key agreement protocol. Following the model of [18], we define four such properties: 1: Group Key Secrecy guarantees that it is computationally infeasible for a passive adversary to discover any group key. • Forward Secrecy (Not to be confused with Perfect Forward Secrecy or PFS) guarantees that a passive adversary who knows a contiguous subset of old group keys cannot discover subsequent group keys. • Backward Secrecy guarantees that a passive adversary who knows a contiguous subset of group keys cannot discover preceding group keys. • Key Independence guarantees that a passive adversary who knows any proper subset of group keys cannot discover any other group key not included in the subset. The relationship among the properties is intuitive. Backward and Forward Secrecy properties (often called Forward and Backward Secrecy in the literature) assume that the adversary is a current or a former group member. The other properties additionally include the cases of inadvertently leaked or otherwise compromised group keys. Our definition of group key secrecy allows partial leakage of information. Therefore, it would be more desirable to guarantee that any bit of the group key is unpredictable. For this reason, we prove a decisional version of group key secrecy in Section . In other words, decisional version of group key secrecy guarantees that it is computationally infeasible for a passive adversary to distinguish any group key from random number. Other, more subtle, active attacks aim to introduce a known (to the attacker) or old key. These are prevented by the combined use of: sender information, timestamps, unique protocol message identifiers and sequence numbers which identify the particular protocol run. All protocol messages include the following attributes: • sender information: name of the sender, or, equivalently, signer. • group information: unique name of the group. • membership information: names (and other information) of current group members. • protocol identifier: protocol being used (fixed as “STR”). • message type: unique message identifier for each protocol message. 1. Key epoch is the same across all current group members. If a group member receives a protocol message with a smaller than current epoch, it terminates the protocol (suspected replay). • time stamp: current time. Loose time synchronization among group members is assumed. We assume that a group member rejects ...

Cryptographic Properties. In this section we summarize the desired properties for a secure group key agreement protocol. Following the model of [KPT00], we define six such properties: The relationship among the properties is intuitive. The first two (often typically called Forward and Backward Secrecy in the literature) are different from the others in the sense that the adversary is assumed to be a current or a former group member. The other properties additionally include the cases of inadvertently leaked or otherwise compromised group keys. Forward and Backward Secrecy is a stronger condition than Weak Forward and Backward Secrecy. Either of Backward or Forward Secrecy subsumes Group Key Secrecy and Key Independence subsumes the rest. Finally, the combination of Backward and Forward Secrecy yields Key Independence. In this paper we do not assume key authentication as part of the group key management protocols. All communication channels are public but authentic. The latter means that all messages are digitally signed by the sender using some sufficiently strong public key signature method such as DSA or RSA. All receivers are required to verify signatures on all received messages. Since no other long-term secrets or keys are used, we are not concerned with Perfect Forward Secrecy (PFS) as it is achieved trivially.

Cryptographic Properties. There are four important security properties encountered in group key agreement. (Assume that a group key is changed m times and the sequence of successive group keys is K = fK0; :::; Kmg). 1. Group Key Secrecy – this is the most basic property. It guarantees that it is computationally infeasible for a passive adversary to discover any group key. 2. Forward Secrecy – (not to be confused with Perfect Forward Secrecy or PFS) guarantees that a passive adversary who knows a contiguous subset of old group keys cannot discover subsequent group keys.

Cryptographic Properties. In this section we summarize the desired properties for a secure group key agreement protocol. Following the model of [KPT00], we define six such properties: ■ Weak Backward Secrecy guarantees that previously used group keys must not be discovered by new group members. ■ Weak Forward Secrecy guarantees that new keys must remain out of reach of former group members. ■ Group Key Secrecy guarantees that it is computationally infeasible for a passive adversary to discover any group key. ■ Forward Secrecy (Not to be confused with Perfect Forward Secrecy or PFS) guarantees that a passive adversary who knows a contiguous subset of old group keys cannot discover subsequent group keys.

In the event that the Client cancels, reschedules or misses any pre-arranged appointment, it shall be liable to Digital Origin for any costs and expenses which Digital Origin incurs as a result of such cancellation, rescheduling and/or missed appointment. 11.2 At the Client’s request, Digital Origin may agree (at its sole discretion) to work outside Normal Working Hours and the Client shall pay Digital Origin’s reasonable charges for complying with such a request. 11.3 The Client warrants, represents and undertakes that it has adequate health and safety provisions in place at its Sites. 11.4 The Client shall procure all consents, licences and permissions necessary from landlords or other third parties for the carrying out of preparation work, installation of Equipment and/or Leased Equipment and for the provision, use and operation of the Equipment and/or Leased Equipment and/or Services at the Sites (save to the extent Digital Origin has agreed in writing to do it). 11.5 In the event that the Client is not able to procure the necessary consent to provide the Services within ninety days of the Connection Date Digital Origin will be able to terminate the Contract forthwith by giving the Client written notice without any liability. If the Client has not managed to procure the necessary consents and Digital Origin has commenced work the Client shall, on request by Digital Origin, refund to Digital Origin the cost of all such work (including, without limitation, staff costs and equipment costs) of an amount no less than £500 as Early Termination Charges. 11.6 The Client shall provide Digital Origin with the site and building plans (to include full details of all internal cabling runs) of the Sites and provide Digital Origin with full details of all other services in the vicinity of the proposed works. 11.7 The Client is responsible for making the Site good after any work undertaken by Digital Origin at a Site, including without limitation replacing and re-siting items and for re-decorating. 11.8 If the Client is moving a Site, Digital Origin must be informed as soon as is reasonably practicable so that suitable arrangements can be made to transfer the Client’s Services and Equipment and/or Leased Equipment. Unless otherwise requested, Digital Origin, in addition to moving the Service and Equipment and/or Leased Equipment, will also endeavour (but cannot guarantee that it will be able, for example where the Client moves to a different exchange) to retain the Client’s relevant existing telephone number(s). If Digital Origin can transfer the Client’s existing number(s) to the new Site the existing Contract will continue under the same terms and conditions. If Digital Origin cannot transfer the Client’s existing number(s) to the new Site, installation of a new line will be required at the new Site, or if the Client requires any additional new lines, this will attract new line connection charges and a new Contract. 11.9 If the new installation or moving Site involves the visit of an engineer to facilitate the new installation the Client will be responsible for the costs incurred by Digital Origin for the appointment together with an administration fee in respect of any additional works required to be undertaken by Digital Origin to complete the transfer of the Services and Equipment and/or Leased Equipment. 11.10 If the Client moves Sites and leaves the Equipment and/or Leased Equipment for the new owner/tenant the Client is required to inform them that the Service will be discontinued if Digital Origin is not contacted by the new owner/tenant within 72 hours for the purpose of entering into a new contract with Digital Origin for such services and subject in any event to the agreement of such a contract. 11.11 If at the new Site the Client receives services from an alternative supplier the Client is responsible for any contractual agreement the Client has with them and any liabilities the Client may incur for terminating such agreement.
