Protecting Trade Secrets in Canada.
Patents in the life sciences industries are a key form of intellectual property (IP), particularly for products such as brand-name drugs and medical devices. However, trade secrets can also be a useful tool for many types of innovations. In appropriate cases, trade secrets can offer long-term protection of IP for a lower financial cost than patenting. This type of protection must be approached ...

متن کاملProtecting Cryptographic Secrets and Processes
Modern commodity operating systems are increasingly used to perform cryptographic operations such as digital signatures and to store cryptographic keys and data which the user considers private. Even when this data is encrypted, as is the recommended best practice, the encryption keys themselves are not wellprotected. We examine the problem of protecting cryptographic secrets and cryptographic ...
متن کاملA genetic algorithm approach for problem
In this paper, a genetic algorithm is presented for an identical parallel-machine scheduling problem with family setup time that minimizes the total weighted flow time ( ). No set-up is necessary between jobs belonging to the same family. A set-up must be scheduled when switching from the processing of family i jobs to those of another family j, i j, the duration of this set-up being the sequ...
