We present the OPTLS key-exchange protocol, its design, rationale and cryptographic analysis. OPTLS design has been motivated by the ongoing work in the TLS working group of the IETF for specifying TLS 1.3, the next-generation TLS protocol. The latter effort is intended to revamp the security of TLS that has been shown inadequate inmany instances as well as to add new security and functional fe...

In the current state-of-the-art, monitoring and analysis of shortand long-term deformations of natural and artificial objects (e.g. dams, bridges, towers, landslides,...) has received increasing interest by researchers and operators who are involved in this field of Geodetic science and engineering. In order to improve the accuracy of deformation monitoring and analysis, terrestrial laser scann...

BACKGROUND Thoracolumbar spine (TLS) injuries have an incidence rate of 5% in blunt trauma patients. The Eastern Association for the Surgery of Trauma published Practice Management Guidelines for the Screening of Thoracolumbar Spine Fracture in 2007. The Practice Management Guidelines Committee was assembled to reevaluate the literature. METHODS A search of the United States National Library ...

This document describes a mechanism that enables the Transport Layer Security (TLS) server to resume sessions and avoid keeping per-client session state. The TLS server encapsulates the session state into a ticket and forwards it to the client. The client can subsequently resume a session using the obtained ticket. Salowey, et al. Standards Track [Page 1] RFC 4507 Stateless TLS Session Resumpti...

This note provides a brief overview of Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol version 1.2 which provides security for communications on the Internet. TLS, similar to its successor SSL, allows client/server applications to communicate in a way that is designed to prevent eavesdropping,tampering, or message forgery for secure communication on the Internet[1]. Block cipher and keyed-Hash Message ...

For various groups of plant viruses, the genomic RNAs end with a tRNA-like structure (TLS) instead of the 3' poly(A) tail of common mRNAs. The actual function of these TLSs has long been enigmatic. Recently, however, it became clear that for turnip yellow mosaic virus, a tymovirus, the valylated TLS(TYMV) of the single genomic RNA functions as a bait for host ribosomes and directs them to the i...

In this paper, we show how a novel tool for analyzing classical cryptographic protocols can be used to model and analyze the more complex Internet security protocol families. We discuss the modifications that were necessary in the tool and how the tool illuminates flaws in the Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol. We also show how a flaw carried over to TLS from the Secure Sockets Layer prot...

The development of tumor lysis syndrome (TLS) in association with treatment for myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) is relatively rare. We herein present the case of a post-polycythemia vera (PV) myelofibrosis patient with massive splenomegaly who developed laboratory TLS after treatment with ruxolitinib, a potent JAK1/JAK2 inhibitor. She also exhibited a rapid reduction of spleen volume. Our p...

Acute tumor lysis syndrome (TLS) is a condition resulting from rapid destruction of tumor cells and subsequent massive release of cellular breakdown products. It has been described following the treatment of many hematologic and solid malignancies. However, spontaneous TLS has rarely been described. Here we report a case of spontaneous TLS that occurred in a patient with a treated maxillary squ...
