Immunity in this case meaning that the work
factor for mounting the attack is greater
or equal to the work factor for brute-forcing
the key.
If brute-forcing the key costs 2**128 operations,
and differential costs 2**129, for example, then
you'd be crazy to attempt differential
cryptanalysis, when bruting the key is cheaper.
I admit to not having RTFP, so I can't evaluate
their claim of immunity to DC and LC, but
modern ciphers are deliberately designed to
be resistant to attack via DC and LC.
To paraphrase (Monty) Python:
"Vasectomy is a doddle".
I was sore for a few days afterwards, but it really
was a non-event.
I'm very happy to not have to mess around with
condoms and other accessories anymore. And 3
kids is enough, thankyou very much!
I talked to my urologist about those stats.
The reason for the "apparent" high failure
rate is due to two things:
o Failing to get tested before having unprotected
intercourse. You can have live sperm
in your seman for quite
a while after the operation.
o Lots of guys lie to their partners about having
had a vasectomy, in order to procure
unprotected sex. This gets rolled in
to the stats.
His estimation is that there's only about 1 in
5000 true failures for properly-performed
procedures.
If Gore articulated his vision in 1986, he
must have been cribbing from a paper I wrote
5 years earlier. While in highschool. Because
I'd spend the previous summer at an early
ARPANet site, and had drank deep of the
Network Kool Aid:-)

Don't forget that you can still have live sperm up
:-)
to 90 days after the operation. That's why they
test you twice with several months spacing.
Also, re-attaches happen, but only in about 1 in
5000 properly-performed vasectomies.
So, wear a condom while you're doing it until
the tests come back "negative sperm". Or, I guess
use a laptop a lot
