Then, to be ome a group leader, the node sele ts a random integer ir between 1 and a given number l (ba ko window size) and initializes a timer at irtrtd, where trtd is a prede ned duration omputed to be at least the round trip delay of a message throughout the ad ho network.

Implementation Issues. We will consider a given period T . To simplify, this period will be used both by the group leader and by the member of the group as a period to send their GKA messages. A node can be in one of the following two states : member state or group leader state. A node in a member state will enter the process to become a group leader if it has not received an IGROUP message for a duration kT . A node which has not received any message from a group leader for a duration kT with k 2 will suppose that there is no group leader and starts the procedure to become a leader. Since a node may not have received a packet of the group leader because this packet has been lost, k must be selected so that the probability that k 1 successive transmissions of a GKA message are lost is small. Then, to become a group leader, the node selects a random integer ir between 1 and a given number l (backoff window size) and initializes a timer at irtrtd, where trtd is a predefined duration computed to be at least the round trip delay of a message throughout the ad hoc network. With such a figure for trtd we can be sure that if two nodes draw different integers ir and ir' , the node having selected the larger integer will receive the IGROUP message of the other node and then will stop its election process. The backoff window size l must be chosen with respect to the total number of nodes in the network so that the probability of two nodes choosing the same integer is small. This back-off procedure is performed to avoid possibly multiple group leader candidates, for instance, when a group is set up or split into two subgroups. When the node in the member state sends its first IGROUP message, it is in the group leader xxxxx.Xx the group leader state, a node must collect IREPLY messages and form the related IGROUP message. When there is a change in the group (arrival or withdrawal) the group leader must change its contribution. Additionally, irrespective of the modification of the composition of the group, the group leader must change its contribution periodically, to maintain the security of the session key. When a group leader is elected, it may choose to wait additional periods before sending an IGROUP containing the contributions of the group members. In doing so, the group leader may avoid unnecessary changes to the session key due to not having received all the contributions in time. In the group leader state, a node will also look out for IGROUP messages from another group leader. If ...

Implementation Issues. A. DOC will investigate any information that is brought to its attention indicating that this Agreement is not being fully implemented, both by asking MOT to investigate such allegations and by itself gathering relevant information. If DOC informs MOT of such information and requests MOT to supply information relevant to the potential non-implementation, MOT will supply DOC with the requested information within 30 days. After receiving the information from MOT, DOC will consider whether the Agreement is being fully implemented. If DOC preliminarily determines that the Agreement is not being fully implemented, it will notify MOT of its determination and provide MOT with an opportunity to engage in consultations within 15 days after MOT receives the notification of DOC’s preliminary determination. DOC will make a final determination as to whether the Agreement is being fully implemented within 30 days after these consultations have been completed.
B. If DOC finally determines that this Agreement is not being fully implemented, DOC may take any appropriate action authorized under U.S. law, which may include either or both of the following:
1. DOC may require MOT to furnish to DOC, within 14 days, the complete information described in Appendix C of this Agreement.
2. DOC may self-initiate an antidumping investigation of any Certain Steel Product from Russia for which imports into the United States have exceeded the export limits in this Agreement on an accelerated basis. If DOC self-initiates such an accelerated investigation, the information maintained pursuant to Appendix C and furnished to DOC shall constitute the complete questionnaire responses of the Russian producers and exporters in that investigation. To the extent that this information is an insufficient basis for determining dumping margins, DOC may base its determination upon the facts available, which may be adverse to the interests of the Russian producers and exporters.
Implementation Issues. In the proposed key agreement protocol, all the group members collaboratively construct the key tree to establish the common group key. In order to achieve this goal, all participants need to know the key structure of subtrees which they belong to. First, the group creator is able to establish an initial key tree structure in the group creation phase, since he has the list of initial group members. He then multicasts the group initiation message, which contains the key tree structure and related initiation information, to all group members. Upon receipt of the initiation message, each member keeps the key structure and performs the mutual authentication procedure to construct the key tree hierarchy collaboratively. If a member joins or leaves a group, group members can adjust the key structure themselves according to the joining and leaving messages. Therefore, no extra message is needed to maintain the consistency of the key structure. As mentioned earlier, the key value of a non-leaf node is established by two designated negotia- tors, randomly chosen from left and right subtrees respectively. The problem is how to randomly choose the negotiators. We can simply designate the left most member in the left subtree and the right most member in the right subtree as the default negotiators, or let the group creator assigns the two negotiators for each non-leaf node dynamically. The members having more compu- tation power and better network connectivity can be assigned to non-leaf nodes, so that the key agreement protocol gains better performance in constructing the key tree hierarchy. An alternative 3 m2 6 7 m3 m4 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 m1 m2 m3 m4 m1 leaves m3 m4 Figure 3. Key tree after leaving the member m1 same subtrees. The second way is more efficient than the first but loses the property that shared group keys are cooperatively established by group members. Exponential computation is considered to be very time-consuming. In order to have better per- formance, the number of exponential computations for the key agreement procedure may be reduced from five to two with some implementation meth- ods. In equations (5) and (6), we can first compute gf(ri ,Ci ), then calculate Xi and Xx as follows: Xi Ξ gf (ri ,Ci ) · gf (ri ,Ci ) · gf (ri ,Ci )(modn) (14)
