I'm really getting tired at the cracks people are making about encryption being broken once a "true" working Quantum computer is made. Yes it is true today's current encryption will be broken but wasn't it the same for the encryption used during WW1 and WW2?
As advances in digital technology increased people were able to break the state of the art codes but at the same time, mathematicians who knew of obscure types problems began seeing that these problems could now adequately and efficiently be solved on a computer. Its not as if binary arithmetic didn't exist 200 years ago, its just that it was so pain staking to do it with the technology of the day that people tended to go for shift ciphers and the like, once the automation of calculation began to come into play, new problems which were really old problems came into light. i.e.: RSA is based on a 2400 year old theory in mathematics, need I say more?
So to make this short, yes Quantum computers if/when they eventuate into a reality will definitely break today's crypto, but just like before there will be people that will conclude problems that were thought to be too difficult and tedious to solve with today's technology will see possibilities of solutions through Quantum computers hence a new cycle will begin until the next major computing break through, its as simple as that....

The US is run by capatilist forces, ie: consumer consumption and producer production.
If say the consumers were to decrease their consumption, then the producers would lobby their congress buddies, until changes took place which would increase the rate of consumption.
Now how does this relate to the topic?
Well people should try their best to travel less, use other means of travel or other technologies such as video conferencing and such to eliminate travel from their lives as much as possible.
Doing so would change the market dynamics and would force airlines, aircraft manufacturers and all dependent industry players such a fuel and equipment providers to begin lobbying congress for changes to domestic travel.
My final word, market forces are much stronger than the principles of "true" democracy.

This person's intro into this "news flash" is so out of wack I don't know where to begin! Lets start with SHA-0 collisions, methods for determining collisions in the original SHA algorithm have been known since 98'. In 95' the NSA issued a modification to the SHA-0 (original algorithm) which became SHA-1, the modification was to counter an attack unknown to open researchers known as parallel shifting. The two French guyz which found collision in SHA-0 in 98' were the first open researchers to encounter this attack method. A side point I would like to make is that the NSA made a similar change back in the early 70's to the IBM DES algorithm which until 89-90 was not known why such a change was needed. The attack the modification was protecting against was differential cryptanalysis. early 90s there was a 20 year difference in knowledge late 90s there was only 3 years difference in knowledge GO FIGURE!
So in theory the SHA news is old news, as far as MD5 and RipeMD, well anyone that has the slightest clue of the mathematics behind message digests will know that all MDs derive from the same logic and same mathematics, and that a flaw found in one algorithm can be easily transferred to another algorithm if that a particular algorithm hasn't already dealt with that specific attack/flaw.
And on a final note: "Many systems, especially those that use cryptography for digital signatures are most at risk here."
Tell me of system in the world that uses security and does not make use of hash functions?

The FTA has not passed the Australian senate, and most likely will not be ratified until after this year's Australian federal elections.
The hold-up is being caused by the major opposition party in Australia not agreeing to terms set forward by Americans regarding the fedral acquisition and subsidies of pharmaceuticals.
Hopefully this sticking point will render the FTA void and hence stop any further destruction of the Australian patent and intellectual property laws

I've been working for sometime now, what I found was doing something open-source, and I don't mean go join a big project, just do something by yourself, make a nice website place your resume and bit about yourself and have some of your stuff on the site ready for download, try and get your site onto search engines and let the rest take care of itself. You never know who will visit your site.
In any case from this method, I get about 3-4 job offers a week without even looking for work, and I get offers from MS at least once every six months from their many many recuiters.

For a one time pad system to work the two communicating parties must actually exchange key information, the keys have to be as large as the amount of data intended on being transferred between the two parties, no sequence of key can be used again, once a key sequence has been used for encrypting decrypting it has to be thrown in a bit bucket.
So how does a bank issue an OTP based password to its customers? Do they do it every time they visit the bank? isn't the whole idea of online banking not only to bring about some level of convince for the customer but to also reduce the bank's overheads by having less branches etc?
I have to disagree with the location of the Springfield nuclear power plant, because from the Stone Cutters episode, it shows that when Homer parks his car in his designated parking spot that its actually right behind his house on evergreen terrace. When he finally becomes a member of the stone cutters, instead of giving him a parking spot closer to the plant itself they give him a pair of roller blades to skate from his parking space to the plant. THE IRONY!!
A light year is a measure of distance not time, saying 13 billion light years ago is like saying something like 100 km ago, it doesn't make sense all you gotta say is 13 billion years ago, also you should note that its been proven that the general speed of light is actually decreasing, so you can't really make an exact or near exact estimation about the time period for which something that occurred many thousands of light years away occurred.
In the article it says RMS is willing to move his research elsewhere, just out of interest what is his research centered around? and why does he think leaving MIT will be such a big sacrifice?
I think this form of signal sampling is limited to packages which implement to the cryptographic primitives without any "salt".
The high industry standard for cryptographic implementations dictate that randomizing operations (operations which results don't effect the final result, but do disrupt both the process pipeline and the processor's energy consumption - hence sound output) be carried out during all cryptographic primitives.
This enables each run of a cryptographic primitive to be unique as far as energy consumption and processes pumped through to the pipeline are concerned.
It an interesting bit of research, but nothing new or extraordinary has been developed.
I currently encrypt everything, the way I see it as time goes by and as technology increases or as newer ways of breaking AES style encryption in much-less-than-brute force methods are developed, the encryption on my data will be broken, this will probably be 50-100 years after I am dead. If at that time there are still people interested in knowing who I was and what I knew, then I think they deserve to have my access to my stored information.
Sad thing is just like how today there is barely anyone in the world that can read the data off the first phonograph style rolls I doubt in the future there will be anyone with the hardware or motivation to read data off such things as CDs, DVDs and of course hard disks.
In any case data produced over a lifetime is only one of many different dimensions for which a person's worth can be measured from a historical point of view.
Call me stupid but i can't find one article or document on their site that talks about the specifics of their encoder, are they using wavelets, or standard DCTs, are they using motion anticipation methods etc...
does anyone know whats happening in the codec? I'm not about to d/l the source code and rummage through it ! I'm just too LAZY!
why should i fork out the money to pay someone's salary when for about $100 i can buy a fully integrated professional tool suite?
The whole mantra of unix design is to get it to work, then work on fixes and optimizations etc..
GIMP has been working pretty well for the past 5 years, I think its about time they started working on fixes and optimizations a bit more.
Heck the scaling filter is soo crap compared to the free photomagic tool I got with my cannon scanner 4 years ago. I mean there are faults in the program (mainly image manip stuff) that to anyone even to a simple ms-paintbrush user it becomes intolerable.
They are just hiring the chair of the ISO C++ standards comittee and not the guy that sits on it, so all is good...
But then again come to think of it, in my humble opinion an old wodden rickety chair could have done a much better job of creating VS.NET than the people who are currently working on it now!
1.) Its an all or nothing agreement, meaning if either government does
not pass all of the agreement terms then the whole agreement is
termed void
2.) The opposition parties to the current Australian government are
all against the main terms of the agreement, because they don't treat
Australian farmers fairly especially sugar farmers.
3.) The agreement wont go through because in the long run it
favors the Americans more than the Australians in many areas.
4.) Tariffs have been lifted in Australian industries that are
slowly being moved off-shore into Asia i.e.: car manufacture
5.) The US has lifted tariffs on goods that already have a highly competitive market in the US.
These and many more things about the agreement will see the agreement fail to pass the senate in Australia, so as far as Australians having to participate in the imbecilic decadent patenting and licensing schemes of the US, all I can do is just laugh he he he he he heeeee:P
That maybe so but for small things like smartcards and other small crypto chips with limited memory and limited computational capabilties, ECC is a godsend.
This is a near impossible task to do within a relatively acceptable time frame, and I mean both for the development of such a tool and also the time it would take to trawl through images, sound, video and even written TEXT!
The issue some people are talking about, with regards to color changes and inconsistencies with colors in regions of images etc, have all been solved in the stego world through spread spectrum technologies. unlink simple intuitive methods such as Wong's bitwise encoding of data via usage of weaknesses in the human visual system, spread spectrum algorithms hide the data in the frequency domain, and even then before the data is "embedded" its usually compressed and encrypted, and passed through filters such that an area in the target image can be found so that the stego data become invariant to DCT compression techniques etc.
All these factors lead me to believe that there is the possibility of building a tool that can produce a probability rating of whether or not an image has stego data, but to what degree that probability is reliable would be another question to answer. but to develop a system that would detect and extract the stego data, well thats will most likely be impossible cause there is not watermarking method that is invariant (meaning you can't extract a watermark from a piece of data when there is no watermark embedded in the image, video etc..)
All in all I think this kind of proposal is like chasing the white rabbit.
Persians are not just Aryan, The term Persian is a collective name for the people that live in Persia. That includes turkemen, kurds, baloochi, afghani etc...
On another note the Germans are not the only Aryan, the English and French are also Aryan as far as I know.
But these are all matters of race, in today's globalized world such futile issues are meaningless because they bring about indifference and disunity. Who cares who comes from what race all that matter is that, that person is moral and ethical in their dealings.
This FarsiKDE project is a very important undertaking for Iranians. It gives us the ability to use computational devices in conjunction with OSS the way "we" want to use them and not be dictated the rules about what things we can or can not do by commercial products. Its gives the ability for Iranians not to first of all learn another language in order to enjoy using a computer, surfing the net etc...
It also gives us the opportunity to make our contribution to the human collective of knowledge in the world. Hopefully KDE wont be the first and last project of its kind, hopefully gnome and other environments will be translated in order to give a wider range of choice and diversity to the people using them. and hopefully through diversity comes innovation and understanding.
I'm sure there are many Iranians out there that want to contribute to the world, and farsiKDE is one those tools which will give them their much deserved opportunity.
In theory it is said that a machine's output must be matched by a reader pertaining the same complexity as the machine that produced it. In today's terms that simply means the output can be read if the format in which the data has been stored been is already "defined" and that the machine decoding has this definition.
now because all computation or models of computers can be reduced into Turing machines that means that any simple state-machine can decode any complex looking data. regardless of how complex the machine that produced the data in the first place is.
That said, there is no guarantee that the decoder of the data will be able to decode the data in a reasonable and useable time period, it just means that all machines regardless of how simple they are will be able to decode and make sense of the data on the time line to infinity.
something like the infinite number of monkeys typing on an infinite number of typewriters etc...
Amidst all the hype of techno babble surrounding Quantum cryptography,
people fail to recognizes what it really is, and what it is capable of
doing.
In short Quantum cryptography is nothing more than a key-exchange model to
support symmetric ciphers and such. It is just one of the links in the
chain which is called a cryptosystem. Hence the old adage still applies,
and that is "you are only as strong as your weakest link". People shouldn't
be under the impression that just because scientist and famous
cryptographers are saying that the quantum key exchange is very difficult
to foil that there is no other way of getting around a cryptosystem that
uses quantum cryptography as a part of their system.

This is a near impossible task to do within a relatively
acceptable time frame, and I mean both for the development
of such a tool and also the time it would take to trawl
through images, sound, video and even written TEXT!
The issue some people are talking about, with regards to color
changes and inconsistencies with colors in regions of images etc,
have all been solved in the stego world through spread spectrum
technologies. unlink simple intuitive methods such as Wong's
bitwise encoding of data via usage of weaknesses in the human
visual system, spread spectrum algorithms hide the data in the
frequency domain, and even then before the data is "embedded" its
usually compressed and encrypted, and passed through filters such
that an area in the target image can be found so that the stego
data become invariant to DCT compression techniques etc.
All these factors lead me to believe that there is the
possibility of building a tool that can produce a probability
rating of whether or not an image has stego data, but to what
degree that probability is reliable would be another question to
answer. but to develop a system that would detect and extract the
stego data, well thats will most likely be impossible cause there
is not watermarking method that is invariant (meaning you can't
extract a watermark from a piece of data when there is no watermark
embedded in the image, video etc..)

support symmetric ciphers and such. It is just one of the links in the
chain which is called a cryptosystem. Hence the old adage still applies,
and that is "you are only as strong as your weakest link". People shouldn't
be under the impression that just because scientist and famous
cryptographers are saying that the quantum key exchange is very difficult
to foil that there is no other way of getting around a cryptosystem that
uses quantum cryptography as a part of their system.
Well thats been my 2 cents.
