English

Subject field(s)
  • Clinical Psychology
DEF

A form of treatment for panic disorder based on certain psychoanalytic concepts.

CONT

PFPP [panic-focused psychodynamic psychotherapy] and psychoanalysis are based on similar psychoanalytic concepts, yet are distinguished from each other on a couple of key points. Psychoanalysis is generally viewed as a long-term venture, usually lasting many years. Its focus is usually broad and involves personality restructuring. PFPP, on the other hand, is generally shorter and more specifically focused on sorting out the specific symptoms of panic disorder and agoraphobia.

Record 2 1997-12-15

English

Subject field(s)
  • IT Security
CONT

... when cryptography is used for data communications, key delivery can be awkward, because each and every key must be somehow delivered to the far end(and retained) in absolute secrecy. On the other hand, this requirement also assures that each end gets exactly the same key, something which simple "public key" systems rarely guarantee. So-called "public key"(or "two key, "or "asymmetric") technology can simplify remote key delivery. But, because public-key ciphering is extremly slow, it is only rarely used to encipher data; instead, public-key technology is normally just used to deliver keys for a conventional cipher.
