Previous Numerical Studies with Deformable Ballast on Body Impacts against Building Edge Protection Systems

Recent studies with numerical models regarding edge protection systems (EPS), class C according to standard EN 13374, showed that some requirements are inadequate for human safety. This problem mainly arises when a person is injured by falling directly against the EPS supports. To analyse this subject, three series of numerical models, in accordance with EN 13374, have been produced. The paper ...

False Targets vs. Protection in defending Parallel Systems against Unintentional and Intentional Impacts

This article considers a parallel system exposed to external intentional impacts caused by malicious attacks, and unintentional impacts caused by natural disasters or technological accidents. The defender distributes its resource between the deployment of false targets and the protection of genuine system elements. The deployment of false targets is intended to misinform the attacker so that it...

Protection Against Hackers on Client Computers for e-Voting Systems

Recently, Ivan Damgaard and Mads Jurik proposed a protocol for protecting Internet voters against hackers. The protocol ensures that hackers with full control of the computer of a voter will be unable to see what the voter votes. Further, if the hacker tampers with the vote and tricks the voter to vote for a different candidate, the vote will be for an arbitrary candidate (uniformly distributed...
