Qualified immunity is a doctrine in United States U.S. federal law that arises in cases brought against state officials under Title 42 of the United States Code 42 U.S.C Section 1983 and against federal officials under Bivens v. Six Unknown Named Agents , 403 U.S. 388 1971 . Qualified immunity shields government officials from liability for the violation of an individual s federal constitutional rights . This grant of immunity is available to state or federal employees performing discretionary functions where their actions, even if later found to be unlawful, did not violate clearly established law. The defense of qualified immunity was created by the U.S. Supreme Court , replacing a court s inquiry into a defendant s subjective state of mind with an inquiry into the objective reasonableness of the contested action. A government agent s liability in a federal civil rights lawsuit now no longer turns upon whether the defendant acted with Malice law malice , but on whether a hypothetical reasonable person in the defendant s position would have known that his her actions violated clearly established law. As outlined by the Supreme Court in Harlow v. Fitzgerald , Case citation 457 U.S. 800 1982 , ref citation qualified immunity is designed to shield government officials from actions insofar as their conduct does not violate clearly established statutory or constitutional rights of which a reasonable person would have known. In 2001, the Supreme Court in Saucier v. Katz established a rigid order in which courts must decide the merits of a defendant s qualified immunity defense. First, the court determines whether the complaint states a constitutional violation. If so, the next sequential step is to determine whether the right at issue was clearly established at the time of the official ... step procedure was no longer mandatory.

Parliamentary immunity , also known as legislative immunity , is a system in which members of the parliament or legislature are granted partial immunity from prosecution .

refimprove date October 2010 Distinguish Herd immunity Contact immunity is the property of some vaccines , where a vaccinated individual can confer immunity medical immunity upon unimmunized individuals through contact with bodily fluids or excrement. In other words, if Mark has been Vaccination vaccinated for virus X and John has not, John can receive immunity to virus X just by coming into contact with Mark. The potential for contact immunity exists primarily in live or attenuated vaccine s. Vaccination with a live, but attenuated, virus can produce immunity to more dangerous forms of the virus. These attenuated viruses produce little or no illness in most people. However, the live virus multiplies briefly, may be shed in body fluid s or feces excrement , and can be contracted by another person. If this contact produces immunity and carries no notable risk, it benefits an additional person, and further increases the immunity of the group. The most prominent example of contact immunity was the Polio vaccine Oral vaccine oral polio vaccine OPV . This live, attenuated polio vaccine was widely used in the US between 1960 and 1990 it continues to be used in polio eradication programs in developing countries because of its low cost and ease of administration. It is popular, in part, because it is capable of contact immunity. Recently immunized children shed live virus in their feces for a few days after immunization . About 25 percent of people coming into contact with someone immunized with OPV gained protection from polio through this form of contact immunity. ref cite web last Offit first Paul A. title Polio Vaccine url http www.chop.edu service vaccine education center a look at each vaccine polio vaccine.html publisher The Children s Hospital of Philadelphia accessdate 18 August 2010 date June 2010 ref Although contact immunity is an advantage of OPV, the risk of vaccine ...

Cleanup date April 2010 Judicial Immunity is a form of Immunity Law legal immunity which protects judge s and others employed by the judiciary from lawsuits brought against them for official conduct in office, no matter how incompetent, negligent, or malicious such conduct might be, even if this conduct is in violation of statutes. For example, a judge may not be the subject of a slander or libel suit for statements made about someone during a trial, even if the defamatory statements had nothing to do with the trial at hand. Nor may a judge s clerk be sued for negligence in failing to deliver materials to the judge. The purpose of judicial immunity is twofold it encourages judges to act in a fair and just manner, without regard to the possible extrinsic harms their acts may cause outside of the scope of their work. It protects government workers from harassment from those whose interests they might negatively affect. Judicial immunity doesn t protect judges from suits stemming from administrative decisions made while off the bench, like hiring and firing decisions. But immunity generally does extend to all judicial decisions in which the judge has proper jurisdiction, even if a decision is made with corrupt or malicious intent. ref cite news url http online.wsj.com article SB125798232401944303.html work The Wall Street Journal title New Lawsuits Try to Pierce Shield of Judicial Immunity date November 12, 2009 first Ashby last Jones ref Note, however, that, while the judiciary may be immune from lawsuits involving their actions, they may still be subject to criminal prosecutions.

In mathematics, the correlation immunity of a Boolean function is a measure of the degree to which its outputs are uncorrelated with some subset of its inputs. Specifically, a Boolean function is said to be correlation immune of order m if every subset of m or fewer variables in math x 1,x 2, ldots,x n math is statistically independent of the value of math f x 1,x 2, ldots,x n math . Definition A function math f mathbb F 2 n rightarrow mathbb F 2 math is math k math th order correlation immune if for any independent math n math binary random variables math X 0 ldots X n 1 math , the random variable math Z f X 0, ldots,X n 1 math is independent from any random vector math X i 1 ldots X i k math with math 0 leq i 1 ldots i k n math . Results in cryptography When used in a stream cipher as a combining function for linear feedback shift register s, a Boolean function with low order correlation immunity is more susceptible to a correlation attack than a function with correlation immunity of high order . Siegenthaler showed that the correlation immunity m of a Boolean function of algebraic degree d of n variables satisfies m d n for a given set of input variables, this means that a high algebraic degree will restrict the maximum possible correlation immunity. Furthermore, if the function is balanced then m d n &minus 1. ref name Siegenthaler cite journal author T.
