چکیده
There exist liberal goals of a network system’s use for which strong technologies are advocated. However, these technologies may favour only those who employ them and hence shift power compared to how people act and do business today. This encourages the deprived to also look for stronger technology to promote their position. In this technological ‘arms race’ both sides omit the equivalent of safety valves, raising stakes and reducing ways for compromise. We discuss this in the context of privacy, use of copyrighted material, and hacking of computer systems.

Sharply $(n-2)$-transitive Sets of Permutations
Let $S_n$ be the symmetric group on the set $[n]={1, 2, ldots, n}$. For $gin S_n$ let $fix(g)$ denote the number of fixed points of $g$. A subset $S$ of $S_n$ is called $t$-emph{transitive} if for any two $t$-tuples $(x_1,x_2,ldots,x_t)$ and $(y_1,y_2,ldots ,y_t)$ of distinct elements of $[n]$, there exists $gin S$ such that $x_{i}^g=y_{i}$ for any $1leq ileq t$ and additionally $S$ is called e...
متن کاملThe total graph of a commutative semiring with respect to proper ideals
Let $I$ be a proper ideal of a commutative semiring $R$ and let $P(I)$ be the set of all elements of $R$ that are not prime to $I$. In this paper, we investigate the total graph of $R$ with respect to $I$, denoted by $T(Gamma_{I} (R))$. It is the (undirected) graph with elements of $R$ as vertices, and for distinct $x, y in R$, the vertices $x$ and $y$ are adjacent if and only if $x + y in P(I)...
