Building Blocks. A Party’s Building Blocks, together with the Party’s respective Building Block IP (including, for avoidance of doubt, improvements) in-licensed by a Party or generated by employees, agents, or independent contractors of either Party or its Affiliates in the course of performing activities under this Agreement, shall be solely owned by the Party which initially contributed or in-licensed such Building Block, subject to any rights and licenses granted herein. For clarity, the foregoing ownership shall be afforded regardless of whether such respective Building Block IP would otherwise constitute Joint IP under this Agreement. Each Party, for itself and on behalf of its Affiliates, hereby assigns (and to the extent such assignment can only be made in the future hereby agrees to assign), to the other Party all its right, title, and interest in and to the other Party’s respective Building Block IP generated by employees, agents, independent contractors or consultants of such Party or its Affiliates in the course of performing activities under this Agreement, and will cooperate, and will cause its and its Affiliates’ respective employees, agents, and contractors to cooperate, with the other Party to effectuate and perfect the foregoing ownership, including by promptly executing and recording assignments and other documents consistent with such ownership.
Building Blocks. In Section 3.1.1, we briefly review oblivious transfer. In Section 3.1.2, we review Yao’s Garbled Circuits. In Section 3.1.3, we describe in more detail our take on the dual execution protocol, and how we avoid leakage to the adversary when the pass-strings used are dissimilar.
Building Blocks. In this section we show asynchronous protocols with subquadratic communica- tion for reliable consensus, reliable broadcast, graded consensus, and coin flip- ping.
Building Blocks. The MS module is composed of 3 components, namely the Topology API, Monitoring API and the Monitoring Data Collector. Figure 3.1 depicts their components and how these relate to the others.
Building Blocks. Ensembles and individual musicians currently performing Building Blocks concerts are grandfathered for future seasons but additional groups may be formed if there is additional demand. Up to 3 performances may occur during one 2.5 hour BB service without triggering overtime under section 5.1, but must include a break as specified in section 10.2. In addition, as long as the current practice continues of having the BB musicians schedule the BB services and control the repertoire, these services will not operate to trigger overtime penalties under sections 6.4.1 and 6.4.2. Payment for BB services in each month shall be remitted in person or postmarked no later than the first business day of the following month. Additional guidelines, (including certain BB hiring requirements) are currently set out in a document entitled “Austin Symphony Orchestra Building Blocks Guidelines” dated November 2018, which is incorporated by reference herein. Such guidelines may only be altered outside of this Master Agreement (MA) with the agreement of all parties to this MA.
Building Blocks. A Party’s Building Blocks, together with the corresponding Building Block IP (including improvements) for such Building Block in-licensed by a Party or generated solely by employees, agents, or independent contractors of either Party or its Affiliates in the course of performing activities under this Agreement, shall be solely owned by the Party which initially contributed or in-licensed such Building Block, subject to any rights and licenses granted herein. For clarity, the foregoing ownership shall be afforded regardless of whether such Building Block would otherwise constitute Joint IP under this Agreement.
Building Blocks. Employees employed handling blocks (other than cindicrete blocks for plugging purposes) shall be paid additional amounts as follows:
Building Blocks. Secure Sketches allow the error-correcting information that Xxxxx sends to Bob in the first message as a secure sketch. Secure sketches provide two algorithms: - “generate” (Gen) that takes an input w and produces a sketch P and - “recover” (Rec) that outputs w from the sketch P and any w' sufficiently close to w. Their security guarantees that some entropy remains in w even given P.
Building Blocks. MAC We use a One-time MACs allow information-theoretic authentication of a message using a key shared in advance. MAC Construction. We will use the following standardMAC technique: View the key k as two values, a and b, of λσ bits each. Split the message M into c chunks M0, . . .,Mc−1, each λσ bits long, and view these as coefficients of a polynomial M˜ (x) ∈ F2λσ [x] of degree c−1. Th.en XXXx(M) = a M˜ (a)+b. This is a authentication code. λM/λσ 2−λσ -secure message Building Block MAC This construction has two properties that are particularly important to us: - First, its key length is close to optimal. - Second, it is secure even when the adversary knows something about the key, with security degrading according to the amount of information adversary knows. Authentication Building Block Authentication The authentication protocol allows two parties who share the same string R to authenticate a message M, even if R has very little entropy. We assume that Ext is an average-case extractor that takes seeds of length q, and outputs L + 1-bit strings that are 2−L−1- close to uniform as long as the input has sufficient entropy h. For our purposes, it suffices to assume that the length of M and the number of ones in it (i.e., its Hamming weight wt(M)) are known to Bob.
Building Blocks. The different building blocks are logically interconnected to provide the required functionalities introduced pre- viously. From a high level perspective, the RO module consists of three main layers: North-bound Interfaces
