Authorised Translations of Electronic Documents
A concept is proposed to extend authorised translations of documents to
electronically signed, digital documents. Central element of the solution is an
electronic seal, embodied as an XML data structure, which attests to the
correctness of the translation and the authorisation of the translator. The
seal contains a digital signature binding together original and translated
document, thus enabling forensic inspection and therefore legal security in the
appropriation of the translation. Organisational aspects of possible
implementation variants of electronic authorised translations are discussed and
a realisation as a stand-alone web-service is presented.Comment: In: Peer-reviewed Proceedings of the Information Security South

Description and Experience of the Clinical Testbeds
This deliverable describes the up-to-date technical environment at three clinical testbed demonstrator sites of
the 6WINIT Project, including the adapted clinical applications, project components and network transition technologies
in use at these sites after 18 months of the Project. It also provides an interim description of early experiences with
deployment and usage of these applications, components and technologies, and their clinical service impact
Total Costs and Budgetary Effects of Adaptation to Climate Change: An Assessment for the European Union
Adaptation to climate change is gaining increasing relevance in the public debate of climate policy. However, detailed and regionalised cost estimates as a basis for cost-benefit-analyses are rare. We compose available cost estimates for adaptation in Europe, and in particular Germany, Finland and Italy. Furthermore, a systematic overview on fiscal aspects of adaptation is provided, with focus on budgetary effects of adaptation in the different impact sectors. Combining cost estimates, considerations on fiscal aspects and governmental interventions in adaptation processes, we present data-based guesses of public adaptation costs in the EU, divided by impact sectors. The findings show an expectedly large public burden in the adaptation of transport infrastructure and coastal protection, while high adaptation costs in the agriculture sector are predominantly private. The change in energy demand may well lead to a significant decrease in public expenditure. Considering the regional heterogeneity of adaptation measures and the high uncertainty of quantitative adaptation analyses, further research in the form of bottom-up-studies is needed.adaptation, climate change, adaptation costs, fiscal effects, governmental intervention
