Abstract: The invention provides a data network, systems and methods for checking nodes of a data network that are used for detecting whether a privacy policy concerning an information is maintained. The information comprises a mark corresponding to the privacy policy. The mark defines the storage place or the accessing paths or the transferring paths of the information. The mark is automatically searchable. The mark is searched, analyzed and checked as to whether the privacy policy is maintained. The advantage of the system is that vulnerabilities of systems for protecting confidential information may be detected a long time before an attack on the confidential information occurs.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for modelling the operational risk of an entity, the method comprising the steps of: Compiling a list with one or more failure events; Compiling a list with one or more causes of the failure events; Compiling a list with one or more impact types of the failure events; Evaluating interdependencies between the failure events, the causes of the failure events and the impact types of the failure events; Decomposing the interdependencies, thereby establishing one or more independent impact sub-models.

Abstract: A method for authentication by biometric data, including receiving a biometric data set; evaluating if the received biometric data set is within a reference region, wherein the reference region represents a region associated with a reference biometric data set; evaluating if the received biometric data set is within a blackout region, wherein the blackout region represents a region associated with at least one previously received and positively authenticated biometric data set; and issuing a positive authentication if the received biometric data set is within the reference region, but outside the blackout region.

Abstract: A method for automatically linking an anonymous electronic trade order having an order quantity (q) to an identity of a trader by providing an identity marker (s) of the trader; embedding the identity marker (s) by splitting the anonymous trade order into a number (n) of trade orders each having a corresponding order quantity x (i) to generate a trade order set; and placing the generated trade order set in an electronic order book.

Abstract: Determining a risk/reward model for a service provided by a service provider to a serviced entity where a service provider value function for the service is dependent on at least one service provider value parameter. It further comprises provision of a serviced entity value function for the service being dependent on at least one serviced entity value parameter. It further comprises provision of weighting values for the serviced entity value function and the service provider value function. It further comprises provision of a serviced entity base case being characteristic for at least one serviced entity value parameter without provision of a service by the service provider and provision of a set of projects and their interdependencies being eligible for providing the service, each project having a given impact on a subset of one or both of the at least one serviced entity value parameter and at least one service provider value parameter.

Abstract: A method for production refactoring of a company comprises quantifying risks stemming from regulations, in particular from an introduction of new regulation. It further comprises identifying actions to take in order to reduce an exposure to risk, quantifying costs of said actions and determining a revenue at risk depending on a revenue and a probability of failure representing said risks. Furthermore, it comprises determining a sequence of actions for solving an improvement problem depending on said revenue at risk and said costs of said actions and profits reducing said revenue at risks and said costs of said actions and increasing said profits.

Abstract: A method suitable for generating a legal contract between an offeror and an offeree. The method comprises the steps of determining a contractual attribute utility function based on offeror preferences; determining a contractual attribute utility function based on offeree preferences; and generating a legal consideration profile by correlating the attribute utility functions based on both the offeror and offeree preferences.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for calculating in a network that comprises links, a price for using a specific link in the network.

Abstract: A resist material used to mask an underlying layer during an etch process is subjected to ion implantation to harden the resist material against damage from the etch process. In a particular embodiment, the resist material is compatible with exposure to 193 nm radiation for patterning the resist material.
