This specification defines a format for organizing compressed audio on an optical disc. The applicable clauses of the specification containing the word “shall ” are the requirements to be compliant with the format. LICENSING IMPORTANT NOTICES This document is a specification developed by the Optical Storage Technology Association (OSTA). This document may be revised by OSTA. It is intended solely as a guide for companies interested in developing products which can be compatible with other products developed using this document. OSTA makes no representation or warranty regarding this document, and any company using this document shall do so at its sole risk, including specifically the risks that a product developed will not be compatible with any other product or that any particular performance will not be achieved. OSTA shall not be liable for any exemplary, incidental, proximate or consequential damages or expenses arising from the use of this document. This document defines only one approach to compatibility, and other approaches may be available in the industry. This document is an authorized and approved publication of OSTA.

This paper applies an understanding of what computers do – the execution of procedural or rules-based logic – to develop and test a simple model of how the widespread adoption of computers in the workplace might alter workplace skill demands.

We provide formal definitions and efficient secure techniques for • turning noisy information into keys usable for any cryptographic application, and, in particular, • reliably and securely authenticating biometric data. Our techniques apply not just to biometric information, but to any keying material that, unlike traditional cryptographic keys, is (1) not reproducible precisely and (2) not distributed uniformly. We propose two primitives: a fuzzy extractor reliably extracts nearly uniform randomness R from its input; the extraction is error-tolerant in the sense that R will be the same even if the input changes, as long as it remains reasonably close to the original. Thus, R can be used as a key in a cryptographic application. A secure sketch produces public information about its input w that does not reveal w, and yet allows exact recovery of w given another value that is close to w. Thus, it can be used to reliably reproduce error-prone biometric inputs without incurring the security risk inherent in storing them. We define the primitives to be both formally secure and versatile, generalizing much prior work. In addition, we provide nearly optimal constructions of both primitives for various measures of “closeness” of input data, such as Hamming distance, edit distance, and set difference.
