Reliability

The reliability test is thus not needed.

Over the past decade, we have seen a crisis of authenticity emerge.

(b) The issue the reliability test is not sufficiently flexible

(c) Difficulties in applying the reliability test in practice

Traditionally, that notion does not include a reliability test.

It does not create certainty, but rather reduces it, and thus runs counter to the purpose of the draft Convention.

Matching the reliability, base load is actually irrelevant.

It placed the highest priority on ensuring technological reliability and on sustaining, developing and strengthening fundamental technologies.

Another area of concern was the reliability test contained in draft paragraph 3 (b).

Unscrupulous parties could try to invalidate their electronic signatures on grounds of unreliability.

He pointed out, however, that the Model Laws had been enacted by many jurisdictions without the reliability test.

In our view, the simple reliability test of the draft Convention is not adequate to serve this purpose.

It is the science and process whereby reliability, maintainability, and availability are designed into products or systems.

There is no necessity for a reliability requirement to be introduced as a complement to a non existent attribution rule.

Moreover, the Working Group had agreed to retain the reliability element in the draft convention.

These techniques are promising but lack the reliability and validity necessary to be used as a reference for clinical purposes.

Another argument was that third parties might use the reliability element to deny the validity of a signature that had been agreed by the parties.

That would allow the reliability requirement to be retained while leaving open the possibility for the parties to establish the validity of the signature by any other evidentiary method.

It is therefore appropriate to ensure equivalence, in terms of reliability, between messages exchanged in electronic form and paper documents.

(i) Better design including the inclusion of self destruct features, better explosive fill and increased reliability

Mr. Chung Wan yong (Republic of Korea), endorsing the remarks made by the delegation of Australia, said that the reliability requirement was important and draft paragraph 3 (b) should therefore be retained as an appropriate adaptation of the reliability principle contained in article 6 of the UNCITRAL Model Law on Electronic Signatures.

Logistics engineering as a discipline is also a very important aspect of systems engineering that includes reliability engineering.

Second, as a process of assessing the reliability of other individuals, which is as much important as process of building A s own reliability.

The required reliability could be established without changing the legal concept of a signature, which was valid irrespective of the medium used.

Explosive ordnance are required to be stored, transported and handled so as to ensure the best possible long term reliability.

The reliability element would not generate more uncertainty than existed at present in terms of a greater risk of court challenges to the validity of a signature and it would provide additional guidance for States that were trying to facilitate electronic commerce.

Article 7 thereof was designed to ensure reliability by requiring the signature to perform the function of identification of the signatory.

The choice of system would depend upon the degree of intrusiveness,5 as well as issues such as reliability, accuracy and cost, that could be tolerated.

French, Swiss, UK and German delegations have all presented works on improving reliability and identifying problematic munitions.

Significant progress has been made towards more reliable and effective supervision of banking, insurance and pensions.

It is worth noting that the European Union Directive of 1999 on Electronic Signatures does not have a reliability test.

It had also been argued that unscrupulous parties might try to repudiate their own signature by invoking the reliability element.

(b) The standard of reliability required shall be assessed in the light of the purpose for which the information was generated and in the light of all the relevant circumstances.

If the draft convention provided for safeguards against the danger of manipulation, the reliability test in paragraph 3 (b) could be eliminated.

The consistent defence of these practices in implementing successful electoral projects has given the United Nations a high degree of credibility on elections.

In most business to business transactions, the only parties whose views on reliability should count are the parties to the transaction.

Nanometrology has a crucial role in order to produce nanomaterials and devices with a high degree of accuracy and reliability in nanomanufacturing.

The Working Group tried in 1997 and 1998 to devise an attribution rule to accompany its prescription of a standard of reliability.

The actions of the United States are so disproportionate to the alleged reason for them that such a suggestion lacks all credibility.

These data supplement the results from the Life Span Study, but do not yet have the statistical power to add much to the quantitative estimates of risk.

It will add to business costs if users feel compelled to use more sophisticated and costly technology to ensure that the reliability requirement is satisfied.

Hence the reliability test in its current form was too demanding for business purposes and fell short of what was needed in other cases for public protection.

The Chairman said he understood that the Belgian delegation wished to preserve the reliability test because it was the only test referred to in previous UNCITRAL documents.

Rising incomes require rising productivity.
