Common use of Geographical Spread of Vulnerabilities and Functions Clause in Contracts

Geographical Spread of Vulnerabilities and Functions. The data in Table V shows the global distribution of important SSL/TLS functions and vulnerabilities according to our survey data. As noted in Section 1, we believe that our set of banks is representative for banking worldwide. However, there is room for variance due to the limited number of observed banks in some regions. Comparisons using the final percentages should therefore be made with care. The most obvious case is Russia, for which only a single bank was examined that neither supports any of the listed functions and that has none of the listed vulnerabilities. We therefore only make conclusions based on the other regions. Europe and North America seem to be quite active in supporting new SSL/TLS functions, followed by Oceania, East-Asia, and the Middle East. Other regions do not seem to give any priority to the support of additional secure functions of SSL/TLS. SSL/TLS vulnerabilities in banking sites were observed mostly in Africa, while the presence of such vulnerabilities seems to be less in other regions.
