Common use of Normal Operation Clause in Contracts

Normal Operation. From now on, our trust agreement scheme is able to work decentralized, that means an operation without the founder. The trust agreement scheme is oper- ating according to the following conditions: (1) IF Authorization value θi at date Dnear future < trust requirement (2) IF Authorization value θj of neighbor Uj < trust requirement (3) IF Uj behaves dishonestly, i.e. dropping or manipulating packets (4) IF Uj behaves trustworthy for a time period Pthreshold (5) IF Revocation assignment Tij was issued to Uj Trust assignments Tkj from Uk with (θk < θi) (VDkj < VDij) have to be renewed. Trust assignments Tij are broadcasted through the whole network, enabling all nodes to compute a complete trust view over the mesh network. To make the network more robust, each node broadcasts his own trust value at regular intervals: Hi := (αi, θi, VD) and a corresponding signature σi. If a trust assignment ▇▇▇ (intended for Ui) does not reach all hosts, the provided Hi value by Ui will differ from the computed trust value on these (non reached) hosts. In this case, all trust assignments intended for Ui can be requested directly from Ui, who saves them locally. Both time values Dnear future and Pthreshold are to be chosen in respect to the practical scenario and the security requirements.

Normal Operation. From now on, our trust agreement scheme is able to work decentralized, that means an operation without the founder. The trust agreement scheme is oper- ating according to the following conditions: (1) IF Authorization value θi at date Dnear future < trust requirementrequirement Request trust assignments Tji from surrounding nodes Uj. (2) IF Authorization value θj of neighbor Uj < trust requirementrequirement Exclude Uj from routing. Do not join network, if Uj provides the only connectivity. (3) IF Uj behaves dishonestly, i.e. dropping or manipulating packetspackets ▇▇▇▇▇▇ assigned trust to Uj by sending a new Tij with lower θij. (4) IF Uj behaves trustworthy for a time period PthresholdPthreshold ▇▇▇▇▇ assigned trust to Uj by sending a new Tij with higher θij. (5) IF Revocation assignment Tij was issued to Uj Trust assignments Tkj from Uk with (θk < θi) (VDkj < VDij) have to be renewed. Trust assignments Tij are broadcasted through the whole network, enabling all nodes to compute a complete trust view over the mesh network. To make the network more robust, each node broadcasts his own trust value at regular intervals: Hi := (αi, θi, VD) and a corresponding signature σi. If a trust assignment ▇▇▇ (intended for Ui▇▇) does not reach all hosts, the provided pro- vided Hi value by Ui will differ differ from the computed trust value on these (non reached) hosts. In this case, all trust assignments intended for Ui can be requested re- quested directly from Ui, who saves them locally.
