Common use of Outline Clause in Contracts

Outline. The paper is organized as follows: In Section 2, we present a new key agreement protocol for ad hoc environ- ments. It is efficient both in communication and computa- tion terms. Also, most of the exchanged messages are in- dependent of each other, thus making it possible to collect them before the group is defined. In Section 3 we present a security analysis of the same and convert it into an authenti- cated key agreement protocol. In Section 4, we present our Mi: ith participant in the current session. Ml: The group leader: A member that is elected to coor- dinate group-level computation such as group-membership and group key management. Can be chosen randomly or by some application specific criteria. −
