This document specifies a symmetric key format for the transport and provisioning of symmetric keys to different types of crypto modules. For example, One-Time Password (OTP) shared secrets or symmetric cryptographic keys to strong authentication devices. A standard key transport format enables enterprises to deploy best-of-breed solutions combining components from different vendors into the sa...

THE apparatus described in this note might be helpful to surgeons who, like myself, have a scattered H population to cover. In this kind of area, eye clinics are, perforce, held in buildings where the ininstallation of permanent test-type f cabinets or drums is impracticable. Some form of portable test-type is therefore required. This should possess means of illuminating the chart, and should b...

In this workshop session, three speakers present their viewpoints and contributions to the topic of portable parallel programming languages. They are Dennis Gannon from In-diana University, David Loveman from Digital Equipment Corporation, and David Padua from the University of Illinois. Their presentations discuss extensions to C ++ , Fortran, and compiler support for standard languages on par...

Personal digital assistants (PDAs) or handheld computers have become more popular in the practice of medicine. These devices have implications for psychiatric practice, and this paper reviews various published articles describing their use. The literature demonstrates their use in document editing, patient tracking, accessing medical information and drug reference guides, prescription writing, ...

The purpose of this study is to design a portable virtual piano. By utilizing optical fiber gloves and the virtual piano software designed by this study, the user can play the piano anywhere at any time. This virtual piano consists of three major parts: finger tapping identification, hand movement and positioning identification, and MIDI software sound effect simulation. To play the virtual pia...

The Portal Security Transaction Protocol (PSTP) is a new signature technology that adds signature semantics to onetime password technology. PSTP was developed to secure transactions in the financial services industry; however, PSTP may be applicable to signatures in other spaces. PSTP technology provides high signature strength of mechanism without requiring asymmetric key pairs deployed to cli...

Software portability is often cited as desirable, but rarely receives systematic attention in the software development process. With the growing diversity of computing platforms, it is increasingly likely that software of all types may need to migrate to a variety of environments and platforms over its lifetime. This tutorial is intended to show the reader how to design portability into softwar...
