Common use of Startup Clause in Contracts

Startup. F Each wireless mesh network is initiated by a founder node F resp. UF . All nodes Ui that are directly connected to (not yet providing connectivity for other nodes) need a trust level of “1” according to the trust requirements from section 4.2. Then, if an authentication scheme is used, UF interacts with his neigh- bor nodes Ui, determining their identity e.g. with a multifactor authentication method. An example for a multifactor authentication may be the verification of: public key fingerprint + MAC/IP address + position in the network + hard- ware hash. If a recognition scheme is deployed, UF only requests the identifying attributes (including a proof of possession) of his neighbor nodes Xx. UF issues trust assignments TFi = (αFi, θFi, VD) and a signature σF for each, whereby αFi is 1, θFi is at least 1.0 (depending on the designated trust requirement for the node) and VD a date in the future.
