Board Gender Diversity and the Quality of Corporate Climate Impact Disclosure: UK Evidence

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines how board gender diversity influences the quality of corporate climate impact disclosure, a critical element of firms' environmental transparency. Focusing on UK nonfinancial firms, we draw on gender socialisation and critical mass theories to explore how diverse boards contribute to strategic climate reporting.

Provably Secure Authenticated Encryption

, 2018
Authenticated Encryption (AE) is a symmetric key cryptographic primitive that ensures confidentiality and authenticity of processed messages at the same time. The research of AE as a primitive in its own right started in 2000. The security goals of AE were captured in formal definitions in the tradition in the tradition of provable security (such as ...

Another Look at Provable Security [PDF]

, 2012
Many cryptographers believe that the only way to have confidence in the security of a cryptographic protocol is to have a mathematically rigorous proof that the protocol meets its stated goals under certain assumptions. However, it is often difficult to assess what such proofs really mean in practice especially if the proof is non-tight, the underlying

Circular Economy Implementation: A Paradox–Dynamic Capabilities Perspective Under Institutional Pressures

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Why do firms facing similar sustainability pressures differ substantially in circular economy implementation? Existing research provides limited insight into how institutional pressures are internally interpreted and translated into organizational action. Drawing on institutional theory, paradox theory, and the dynamic capabilities perspective,
