[The Communications Security Establishment Canada(CSEC) ] and the National Institute of Standards and Technology(NIST) jointly announced the establishment of the Cryptographic Module Validation Program(CMVP) on July 17, 1995.... The CMVP validates commercial cryptographic modules to Federal Information Processing Standard(FIPS) 140-2 and other cryptography based standards such as algorithms. The CMVP is jointly managed by NIST and CSEC. Products validated as conforming to FIPS 140-1 or FIPS 140-2 are accepted by the federal agencies of both countries for the protection of sensitive information(United States) or protected information(Canada). The goal of the CMVP is to promote the use of validated cryptographic modules and provide federal agencies with a security metric to use in procuring equipment containing validated cryptographic modules.

OBS

Le Programme de validation des modules cryptographiques (PVMC) a été instauré conjointement par le (CSTC) [Centre de la sécurité des télécommunications Canada] et le National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) des États-Unis le 17 juillet 1995. [...] Le PVMC valide des modules cryptographiques commerciaux selon la Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 140-2 et selon d'autres normes de cryptographie (algorithmes). Le PVMC est conjointement géré par le NIST et le CSTC. Les produits validés, et se conformant à la FIPS 140-1 ou à la FIPS 140-2, sont acceptés par les organismes fédéraux des deux pays pour la protection d'information sensible (les États-Unis) ou l'information protégée (le Canada). Le but du PVMC est de promouvoir l'utilisation de modules cryptographiques validés et de fournir aux organismes fédéraux une mesure de sécurité à utiliser dans l'approvisionnement de l'équipement contenant des modules cryptographiques validés.

CONT

A principal sensor on board the satellite is the Space-Based Visible(SBV) sensor, a visible-band electro-optical camera designed... to perform the first technical and functional demonstration of space-based space surveillance. The principal task of the SBV sensor is to gather metric and photometric information on a variety of resident space objects(RSO).... Currently, the resident space object(RSO) catalog contains more than 8000 entries, consisting of active and inactive satellites, rocket bodies, and debris, with an active subset of over 800 objects.

CONT

We have created a catalog containing observations of over 1000 resident space objects (RSOs) by the infrared (IR) telescope on the Midcourse Space Experiment. These objects, a mix of satellites, rocket bodies, boosters, and debris, were serendipitously detected while the telescope was performing its primary mission.

OBS

resident space object; RSO: term and abbreviation officially approved by the Department of National Defence and the Canadian Forces.

CONT

BIP(for Basic Instructional Program) is presented as a "problem-solving laboratory" for introductory programming classes(Barr et al., 1976). It attempts to individualize the sequence of instruction via the appropriate selection of successive tasks from a pool of 100 sample problems. In contrast with Kimball' s distance metric on probabilistic values, BIP bases its selection on information contained in a network, called the Curriculum Information Network(CIN), that relates tasks in the curriculum to issues in the domain knowledge.
