  • 2019 NBTA Solo Rules
    2019 NBTA Solo Rules Changes are highlighted FOREWORD Few activities provide a more wholesome and worthwhile outlet for the energies of today’s youth than baton twirling. Sanctioned twirling contests are largely responsible for the growth, development, and advancement of twirling as a performance sport, performing art, and beneficial activity. Many of the keen traits found in today’s twirlers can be directly credited to their participation in twirling contests, i.e., physical fitness, good sportsmanship, poise, showmanship, teamwork, personality projection, ambidexterity, and self- confidence. Baton twirling contests provide a place where baton twirlers can join together in friendly competition and share common interests- while participating in a program for baton boosters and the public to view. NBTA INTERNATIONAL’s large network of baton twirling contests is an important part of the national and world baton twirling picture. There is usually greater interest and a higher level of twirling proficiency found in areas where there are top-level competitions. MOTTO AND PLEDGE OF HONOR NBTA INTERNATIONAL’s motto is “winning is participating!” Accept new friendship as you extend your friendship to your fellow competitors. And remember, you are a part of the great HONOR SYSTEM that helps set apart baton twirling from many other sports. It is your responsibility to maintain accurate records and to compete in the proper classification and age divisions. NBTA INTERNATIONAL contestants are bound by the following code of honor: My Pledge – Code of Honor In order to substantiate advancement, I pledge responsibility, with the help of my parents and teacher, to accurately record my twirling contest participation, dates, locations, categories, age divisions, placements, and advancement.

  • Comprehensive Security Analyses of a Toys-To-Life Game and Possible Countermeasures Master Thesis - July 2016
    Comprehensive security analyses of a toys-to-life game and possible countermeasures Master thesis - July 2016 Author Kevin Valk Radboud University [email protected] Supervisor Supervisor Second reader Robert Leyland Lejla Batina Eric Poll Radboud University Radboud University [email protected] [email protected] Abstract This thesis aims at modeling important attacks on a toys-to-life game using attack-defense trees. Using these trees, different practical attacks are executed to verify the current coun- termeasures and find possible new exploits. One critical exploit led to a binary dump of the firmware, which made it possible to reverse the key derivation algorithm. This led to breaking the security layer that protected the toys. With the key derivation algorithm known, toys could be forged for under a dollar and made it possible to search for unreleased toys and variants. Given the possible attacks, numerous countermeasures are presented to protect games against these attacks and improve general security. The foremost countermeasure is the addi- tion of digital signatures to the toys. This countermeasure makes it infeasible to forge toys. However, this does not stop 1-on-1 clones, but concepts are explored to protect against 1-on-1 clones in the future using Physical Unclonable Function (PUF). 1 Contents 1 Introduction 4 2 Background 5 2.1 Attack Trees.......................................5 2.1.1 Basic attack-defense trees............................5 2.1.2 Quantitative analysis...............................6 2.2 Public-key cryptography.................................6 2.3 Near Field Communication...............................7 2.3.1 MIFARE Classic.................................7 2.3.2 MIFARE Classic knockoff tags.........................8 3 Threat model 10 4 Attacks 14 4.1 Proxmark III......................................
