Abstract: A method for electronically signing contracts between at least a first and a second parties, the method including a first party accessing second party's website and fills in an on-line form with party personal data which is sent to a second party's server. The method of the inventions solves the problem of signing contracts between two parties, hence the object of the present invention is a computer implemented method that deals with the issue of protection against unauthorised use of data from within the employees of TTP companies and we present a solution in which a TTP company can certify the validity of a contract without having access to its content. In this way, the TTP minimizes the information it has access to and reduces the risks derived from such knowledge, like an eventual data leakage caused by some dishonest TTP employee.

Abstract: A method evolves generic computational building blocks. The method obtains a parent population with programs that encode functions. The method also obtains a list of randomly generated test inputs. The method generates a target dataset that includes input-output pairs of randomly generated binary strings. The method also applies a fitness function to assign a fitness score to each program, based on the target dataset. The method grows a seed list by applying genetic operators, and selecting offspring that satisfy a novelty condition. The novelty condition is representative of an ability of a program to produce unique output for the list of randomly generated test inputs. The method iterates until a terminating condition has been satisfied. The terminating condition is representative of an ability of programs in the seed list to solve one or more genetic programming instances.
