Abstract: In an example, a computing device is described. The computing device comprises a processor. The processor is to generate a key using a value as an input to generate the key. The processor is further to, in response to generating the key, exclude the value from future use as the input. The processor is further to store an indication of a subsequent value to use as the input to generate a subsequent key. The indication is cryptographically associated with an entity to control third-party access to the indication.

Abstract: In an example, a computing device is described. The computing device comprises a memory to store a set of states and a corresponding set of non-overlapping time intervals. The computing device further comprises a timing unit to indicate a time at which a signature is to be produced. The computing device further comprises a processor to: identify which time interval of the set of non-overlapping time intervals includes the indicated time; generate a signing key based on a state associated with the identified time interval; and produce a signature, under a stateful signature scheme, with the signing key.

Abstract: In an example, a computing device is described. The computing device comprises an interface to receive a request from a signer for a state. The state is to be used as an input to generate a key under a stateful signature scheme. The computing device further comprises a processor. The processor is to identify an available state that the signer is authorized to use in response to the request received via the interface. The available state is identified from a set of states that can be used by the signer to maintain statefulness of the stateful signature scheme. The processor is further to instruct a reply to be sent to the signer via the interface. The reply comprises an indication of the state that the signer is authorized to use.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus are disclosed. The apparatus includes a substantially cylindrical mount body comprising a first open mouth at a first end of the cylindrical body and a further open mouth at a remaining end of the cylindrical body, a substantially cylindrical inner surface, and an outer surface that includes a plurality of spaced apart substantially parallel recessed regions that extends circumferentially around the body, wherein the cylindrical body is tapered at each end and at least one securing element is located between the recessed regions.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus are disclosed. The apparatus includes a substantially cylindrical mount body (350) comprising a first open mouth at a first end of the cylindrical body (350) and a further open mouth at a remaining end of the cylindrical body, a substantially cylindrical inner surface, and an outer surface that includes a plurality of spaced apart substantially parallel recessed regions that extends circumferentially around the body, wherein the cylindrical body (350) is tapered at each end and at least one securing element is located between the recessed regions.

Abstract: Flexible pipe body, a flexible pipe and a method of manufacturing pipe body are disclosed. The flexible pipe body comprises a tensile armour layer and a supporting layer radially outside, or radially inside, and in an abutting relationship with the tensile armour layer. The supporting layer comprises a helically wound constraining tape element and a helically wound electrically conductive tape element.

Abstract: A flexible pipe body and a method of providing electrical continuity are disclosed. The flexible pipe body comprises a first armour layer formed from a helical winding of a metal tape element, a further armour layer formed from a helical winding of a further metal tape element, and at least one intermediate layer between the first and further armour layers, said intermediate layer comprising a helically wound electrically insulating tape element (8000, 8001, 8002, 8003, 8004) and a helically wound electrically conductive tape element (8100, 8101, 8102, 8103, 8104).
