The word "majestic" doesn't even begin to cover the beauty of Smith Rock State Park, located in Oregon's high desert plateau. Known as one of the Seven Wonders of Oregon, Smith Rock State Park is your next stop for adventure.
With several thousand (yes, thousand) climbing trails, Smith Rock State Park is a mecca for adventurers of any age. The park, located in Oregon's high desert, is chock full of things to do and see. It has sheer basalt cliffs perfect for rock climbing and a plethora of abundant wildlife you can see while hiking a trail.
Pro tip: The park doesn't allow RV camping, so reserve a spot at one of the many other campgrounds in the area. It does permit camping in tents, though—no reservations required.
With one of the best views money can buy (just kidding—they're free!), Peter Skene Ogden State Scenic Viewpoint is a great place to get out of the car, stretch your legs, and gaze out at the vast and majesty beauty of our country. The overlook gives you a glimpse of the Crooked River Gorge and the railroad bridge of the same name.
The Cove Palisades State Park
With its breathtaking views from the cliffs over Lake Billy Chinook, The Cove Palisades State Park is another great stop on your trip across Oregon's desert region. The park features the Crooked River Petroglyph, an engraved 18-ton stone dating back to somewhere between 2,000 and 6,000 years ago. The rock nearly had been covered by water when it was discovered, and was promptly moved to a safe viewing spot in 1964. In addition to this historical stone, the park has a seven-mile hiking trail and a scenic campground that offers full bathrooms with free showers. The park also has marina access to Lake Billy Chinook.
Smith Rock State Park is known for its climbing, but there are some top-notch hikes here as well. You can make your way to the top of the massive Smith Rock by hiking one of the park's two most famous trails: Summit Trail and Misery Ridge. Despite its depressing name, Misery Ridge is definitely one of the best hikes in Oregon: the 3.8 mile loop features switchbacks, oversized stairs, and gorgeous views of Oregon's Cascade Mountains. There are tons of unique rock formations ripe for exploring, great for some easy bouldering. Along the hike, keep your eyes out for golden eagles (sometimes there are telescopes you can use to observe their nests), river otters, beavers, prairie falcons, and other unique wildlife, or you can watch the climbers tackle the sheer cliff face from a relatively safer location. And, while it gets cold in the winter and very hot in the summer, you can at least rest assured that this desert region gets sunny weather 300 days out of the year.
Named for a Native American from the Wasco tribe, Lake Billy Chinook sits in a canyon at the convergence of three separate rivers (including the Crooked River). The lake offers a plethora of fishing opportunities (it is one of the only lakes where bull trout can be caught legally), as well as kayaking, and swimming. For a really unique experience, rent a houseboat for the weekend from Lake Billy Chinook Houseboats.
Smith Rock Brewing
Smith Rock Brewing might be known as Oregon's smallest commercial brewery, but it's mighty. Smith Rock has a tiny half-barrel brew house and only keeps two to three beers at a time in order to keep things interesting, but they brew their beers with meticulous attention to detail and maintain complete quality control. The brewery even features a pub that offers food made from scratch. Make sure to try their famous Smith Rock Onion Rings made with fresh yellow onions and homemade breading.
You are sure to find something to enjoy in Oregon's desert region, whether it's beer, breathtaking overlooks, ancient petroglyphs, or homemade onion rings. So, pack up the Airstream and get driving!

Last night a friend and I had a baby shower for another friend that is due in just a few weeks. Everything was wonderful! I brought these little party favors and homemade salsa (which my family got into before I left so it was only a half batch).
I covered these Hershey's Nuggets with patterned paper at 1"x3". Very easy. I Cuttlebugged the topper, used eyelets, and cut the feet out with my Cricut using the New Arrival Cartridge. I made 30 of these and almost all of them were handed out last night.

|Reviews for Confinement
| OceanTiger13 chapter 1 . 4/6/2010
Creepyness...loves very much.
| Joker'sOnlyFear chapter 1 . 2/28/2010
Loved the poetry of this. I've always loved stories describing Jonathan's fear of crows, and this was executed beautifully, if short.
| Pierides chapter 1 . 2/20/2010
Oh, that was horrifying.
Is Jon having a nightmare? No matter what I really loved the images of the crows and the horrific things they were doing. This would a nightmare of mine. I loved the frenzied feel of this piece, it just gets the heart pumping and the eyes darting. The descriptions of their mouths eating him and then tearing off limbs was cringe worthy.
Spectacular job, I absolutely adored this! I could definitely see Jonathan having these sorts of dreams/episodes.
| Twitchylicious chapter 1 . 2/20/2010
You know that feeling? Where it seems like something is crawling up your spine and you shiver, even if it isn't cold at all? That just happened to me as I imagined what poor Crane was going through. I really love your horror stories, because they actually get to me. You little creep. 3
| Twinings chapter 1 . 2/20/2010
This gave me chills. Good job, but I'm going to go away now.
| AZ-woodbomb chapter 1 . 2/20/2010
Poor Crane. What did he do to deserve this? Oh, wait. Right. Ahem. But still, poor Crane.
| Anime Monster chapter 1 . 2/19/2010
*shivers* THIS IS EXCELLENT! Do the exclamation points help you realize just how excellent I see this. *purrs* I so love his insanity in this and the pure unrestrained fear. Definitely a favorite. I am eager to see the straight jacket scenes in OWC&SJ.

Battling to avert a possible bankruptcy, General Motors will cut 23,000 jobs in the US, the car maker said.
The auto maker would be bringing down the US dealerships by nearly 3,000 and would phase out Pontiac brand by 2010.
Announcing the updated viability plan on Monday, GM said it expects to reduce debt by at least $20 billion through various actions, including bond exchange offer.
"US hourly employment levels are projected to be reduced from about 61,000 in 2008 to 40,000 in 2010, a 34 per cent reduction, and level off at about 38,000 starting in 2011.
"This further planned reduction of an additional 7,000 to 8,000 employees from the February 17 Plan is primarily the result of.... Operational efficiencies, nameplate reductions and plant closings," the company said in a statement.
GM pointed out it anticipates further decline in salaried and executive employment.
The car maker which has been severely hit by the economic turmoil would be looking to reduce its US dealer count from "6,246 in 2008 to 3,605 by the end of 2010".
Moreover, the company would be bringing down the number of nameplates to 34 in 2010 compared to 48 last year.
"GM in the US will focus its resources on four core brands, Chevrolet, Cadillac, Buick and GMC. The Pontiac brand will be phased out by the end of 2010," it noted.

|Reviews for The Trial of Frodo Baggins
| Baranduin chapter 14 . 10/1/2003
I've enjoyed this story so much! There are so many things in the last couple of parts, but I think maybe what sticks in my mind most is Aragorn sitting with them, with their pipes lit and quiet together. Hmm, and Frodo and Aragorn coming to the soldier and healing him. Let's see, Frodo's conversation with Fellen and the spark that grows in Fellen to learn Elvish ...
Thanks for a wonderfully moving story.
| Grimnir chapter 14 . 10/1/2003
Gentle Hobbit, thank you so much for this beautiful story. You truly did fetch the style of Tolkien, especially in the beginning of this last chapter - this could have been written by himself and fits wonderfully to the citation from the book which comes afterward.
Your descriptions of the characters are very well done and I loved the participation of the children, especially Fellen.
What I did not like so much, since I never interpreted it this way, is to see Frodo guilt-driven. In my eyes the book gives no hint to that - he is sick because of the memory of terrible events and the influence of ring and morgul blade, which have teared at his soul and left him wounded. But this is fanfiction and you made a marvellous story round your own interpretation of this. I look toward new storys from you!
| Aratlithiel1 chapter 14 . 9/30/2003
Gah! I missed the verdict! *smacks head* So glad you wrote me. This tale was wonderfully done from start to finish. Your take on the pride thing was a little different from mine, but there are SO many things open to interpretation in these tales, no? That's why fan fiction is so much fun!
A very good job, my dear. I like to think of Fellen as he grows up, telling everyone who will listen about the Ring-bearer and keeping the tale alive. Bravo! And I look forward to more from you (except don't forget to put your poking stick use, eh?).
| ShireElf chapter 14 . 9/30/2003
Wow . . . . I believe this is was one of the first words that came out of my mouth. Really, I wasn't kidding. I have a few things I absolutely liked about the story:
1). I think you portrayed all the characters brilliantly, especially Aragorn and Gandalf, since I believe they are the hardest to write since they are some of the wisest people in the story.
2). The plot itself. I always wondered if Frodo had really destroyed the Ring. I have seen two sides so far, David Colbert's (author of The Magical World of Lord of the Rings) and yours and it is very intersting to read about.
3). The way you ended each chapter was excellent! It held me stunned and made me want more.
An well written story, Gentle Hobbit! Congrats!
~Shire Elf~
| GamgeeFest chapter 14 . 9/30/2003
What a beautiful ending. I'm so sad it's over though. This is one of my favorite stories. I can't tell you how much I've enjoyed reading it.
I hope to see many more stories from you in the future.
| shirebound chapter 14 . 9/30/2003
Oh, The End! What a glorious, wonderful story, Gentle Hobbit. I've enjoyed every word of it. Frodo has found a serenity he didn't have before, and I suspect Fellen will become a scholar - and a credit to his city and his king. Thanks to you.
| shireling chapter 14 . 9/30/2003
Thank you for sharing a wonderfull story with us.
Now that is truely over I will try to wait patiently for your next muse to strike!
| Clever Hobbit chapter 14 . 9/30/2003
That's a great ending, though I'm sad to see it all the same. Merry was good about sensing how Frodo might be feeling. The eagerness of the boys to meet him was a good example of his fame.
Darn. It's over... ::sighs:: I loved following this... Thanks.
| Raven Aorla chapter 5 . 9/30/2003
A beautiful story, and a topic that never would've occured to me. I am going to put it on my Favorites list. One minor detail:Gollum bit the finger off, he didn't cut it. But besides that I see no flaws.
| FrodoSilverlune chapter 13 . 9/29/2003
Awsome story! Love it. mind blank right now, dang it, so I can't say everything I want to. Very well written. It reminds me of my own story, Of the Aberration of a Hobbit. Frodo goes mad in Minas Tirith after the quest and thinks he failed.
Anyways, I'm looking forward to reading more from you!
| Tangelian Proudfoot chapter 13 . 9/23/2003
I don't know where to begin! This is a truly awesome fic, and it clarifies many of the questions that you ask after reading LOTR. You have a true understanding of Frodo's very complex character, and I love your elaborations and explanations on why he felt as he felt etc...
Your language is very beautiful too, and the fic is very emotional... Once again, "Tack så mycket" for sharing it with us-this is a fic that everyone who cares about Frodo should read...
| helga chapter 13 . 9/21/2003
This was extremely well written and very insightful - one of my favorite fanfics!
You have probably read Tolkein's own comments about Frodo's guilt, or lack of it. If not, you hit upon the same insight the author did. Only you gave fanfic readers the chance to explore it all more in-depth.
I thought your characterizations of all teh characters were excellent - hobbits, Aragorn and Eowyn in particular.
I am enthusiastically looking forward to the sequel...
| Coriandra chapter 13 . 9/18/2003
This story was absolutely amazing! I'm sorry it has to end. The trial scene and final judgement was so compelling it had me on the edge of my seat the whole time. Aragorn was right, Frodo commited no crime, but I was wondering how he was going to arrive at that conclusion in a way Frodo would accept. It was good that he had Frodo tell his story to someone.I was a bit surprise by Frodo's choice, although it was a logical one. Merry had been injured too fighting the Witch King, he was probably in the best position to understand and help Frodo find healing. I hope now that Tenegold's captain can healing too.

Nice. You should write more stories.
| shireling chapter 13 . 9/16/2003
If I'm teary eyed now it's because the tale is ended and it has been such a joy.
You have a lovely lyrical style that flows so well and is so faithful to the spirit of JRRT.
I will await the Epilogue with impatience and look forward eagerly to your next story.
Best wishes

The future format of international cricket is set to change with the International Cricket Council's Chief Executives Committee proposing much-awaited radical changes to the Test and One-day International game and therefore, the Future Tours Programme (FTP) from 2012-2020.
The CEC, which met in Cape Town over Monday and Tuesday, gave the go ahead to recommendations that included reducing the all important one-day cricket World Cup to a 10-team event from 2015 — a major change that will keep only the world's top teams compete for the coveted title.
The CEC's go ahead now means that once the ICC Board approve these changes, they will be through. The broad recommendations are:
The FTP should consist of a Test league, which will then determine the top four teams to qualify for an ICC Test play-off,
The play-off should be held once every four years to determine the Test champion team. The first play-off could happen as early as in 2013,
The FTP should also have a One-Day International league, the first to run from April 2011 to April 2014, culminating in the crowning of an ODI league champion,
This would run separate to the World Cup,
The World Cup could become a 10-team format from 2015, if the Board approves,
The World Twenty20 could possibly become 16-team event from 2012,
The introduction of Twenty20 International rankings table as soon as this is justifiable.

Doctor insights on:
Contraceptive Pill Breast Size
Birth Control Pills (Definition)
Also known as oral contraceptives, birth control pills are highly effective oral medications that use hormones to prevent pregnancy. There are two main types of birth control pills: one with estrogen and progestin (also known as the combination pill) and one with just progestin. The two main ways they prevent pregnancy are: 1) The hormones thicken the cervical mucous, which keeps sperm from entering the uterus on their way to the egg; and 2) By maintaining a level of hormone in the blood stream that prevents the ...Read more

Now that Prometheus is in theaters, the major questions raised by Sir Ridley Scott's mysterious sci-fi thriller … well, have only led to more questions. Does that mean Scott and screenwriter Damon Lindelof have delivered worthy sci-fi? Or are you frustrated by the ambiguity of Prometheus and disappointed that the finished film didn't have more answers?
On Monday, as we sift through the reactions streaming in regarding the film, audiences appear to be split right down the middle. Those looking for heady, intellectual discussion savored the big topics broached by Scott's film. Others found his themes to be half-baked, and his lack of definite revelation to be a cop out.
No matter your opinion, virtually everyone who saw Prometheus – and the film's $50M gross means lots of you took the time to see it opening weekend – wanted to talk about it, at length, following your screenings. You wanted to come up with answers to some of the film's biggest questions.
Believe me, you are not alone.
In a comprehensive piece, Movies.com's Christopher Campbell collects several opinions suggested by the Internet's top film writers about what they saw in Prometheus. Erik Davis of Fandango and Movies.com also has hosted several Prometheus Chats dissecting the film (they are a must-listen). Of course, Scott also sat down with us specifically to tell us some of the reasoning behind the film's big mysteries. And this explanation, writer by British children's author Adrian Bott, has been making the rounds. Lindelof even retweeted it, stating, "I love the way you think."
We always give you an opportunity to Rate the New Releases. But for Prometheus, we also wanted to open a thread for discussion. The movie calls for it. Tell us: What were the most intriguing questions asked by Prometheus? What questions would you love to see answered in the sequel (if a sequel actually happens)? And do you have any theories that help clarify Scott's foray into the Alien universe? Share them with us below.
While you are mulling that over, we have a brand new viral video on behalf of Prometheus that will build to something fans are now calling 10.11.12. It features Guy Pearce's character, Peter Weyland, and suggests that the Prometheus discussion hasn't ended with the film reaching theaters. It's only just begun. Join in.

Ferdinand Magellan
Ferdinand Magellan
This essay
Ferdinand Magellan
has a total of
words and 5 pages.
Ferdinand Magellan
Ferdinand Magellan was born in 1480, in a stone farm house in Portugal. His father's name was Dom Ruy Magellan, and his mother's name was Donha Alda De Mesquite. His father was a Portuguese nobleman and owned a large amount of land. He was also a sheriff, an honorary position awarded for distinguished service to the crown.
Ferdinand's brother was named Diago De Sousa, a name he took from his wealthy grandmother, his sister was named Isabel Magellan. His family seemed to care about each other and respected one another. His family owned cows, sheep, hogs, and goats and fields of wheat, rye, corn and vineyards full of grapes. Ferdinand and his brother and sister had to help the tenants (people that rented and farmed the land), raise the animals and harvest the crops. Ferdinand went to school at a monastery.
Both his parents died when Ferdinand was only ten years old. At the age of twelve, he was sent to live at the court of Queen Leonora and John II of Portugal. His older brother, Diago, had gone to court two years earlier. His cousin, named Francisco Serrano also twelve years old, came at the same time as Ferdinand did. At court Ferdinand learned music, dance, horsemanship and how to handle weapons, in addition to academic subjects such as reading, writing and religion. Also he learned algebra, geometry, astronomy and navigation.
After he had worked at court for a few years, he started checking the supplies for the ships going to India. This was work for the India House, run by the monarchy. India house was the agency for overseas trade. Magellan heard reports of new discoveries brought back by returning ships. It was here that Magellan learned practical aspects of navigation from the sailors and by helping outfit the ships he learned about rigging, repairing, armaments and supplies.
In 1495, John II died, and his brother-in-law, Duke Manuel became king. Duke Manuel did not like Ferdinand, so even though Ferdinand wanted to sail, it was not until 1505 that he finally got his chance.
In 1505 Magellan sailed to India under the leadership of Captain General Almeida, and set up Naval Bases along the way. They set their first base up at Kilwa, and the chief there had promised to be nice to sailors coming through, and said each time sailors came through, he promised to give some gold to the King of Portugal. However he broke the promise, so the Captain General sent 500 sailors to take over the village of over 1,200 people. The sailors climbed the wall surrounding the village, and fought their way to the palace. The chief fled and a new leader was put in his place. This was Magellan's first battle for his country.
Then the Portuguese took over trading posts and sailors guarded them for almost two years. By early 1509, the Portuguese had control of several trading posts.
A few years later, after he had gotten his command for a ship, he secretly sailed eastward without permission, and his command was taken from him and he returned home. Once home, he expected a high place, and good pay, because he had done a lot of good service for his country. However, he was given a lowly place, not much better than when he was a boy, and lowly pay. When Magellan went to the king to ask for a higher place in the king's court, the king said no, and when Magellan asked if the king cared if he went into the service of another king, the king said he didn't care where Magellan went, or what he did. When Magellan knelt down to kiss the king's ring, the king turned his back on Magellan.
In 1517, he left Portugal, and he went to Spain. Soon after he arrived in Spain, he married a lady named Beatriz, who was a Spanish cousin of his friend named Duarte Barbosa.
Magellan was certain that he could find the Spice Islands by sailing west, and in 1508 he asked King Charles I for some ships. King Charles I gave him five ships: the Trinidad, San Antonio, Victoria, Conceptio, and the Santiago. In 1519 he set sail for the Spice Islands, first stopping at the Canary Islands.
His second stop was Rio De Janeiro, and they traded a lot with the natives there. Later on they stopped at Rio De La Plata

"butler" is found in the place where the canonical text has "bridegroom".
The meaning of MG text is really quite plain and obvious here.

gospel. Nevertheless, even (maybe, especially) students have
opinions, too. It would indeed be an interesting and controversial
study to tabulate and classify the most obvious ones. The most
frequent reason I can see for the double (and sometimes more)
meanings is in support of the Johannine technique I call "dialogues
with dummies." The poor sap who is shown as questioning Jesus almost
always misunderstands what Jesus is telling him and, regarding words
with more than one possible meaning, only gets the infelicitous one
and is blind to what Jesus is actually saying. Jesus is then given
the opportunity to explain further for the benefit of the intended
audience. (The dummy is almost never shown as ever getting the
point.) I think this goes so far as to include instances in which
both meanings have to be in the listener/reader's mind in order to
have any hope of following Jesus. Perhaps the most obvious example
is John 3:3. Nicodemus interprets *gennhth anwthen* as meaning
only "born again." The usually excellent NAB makes the opposite
error, interpreting the words as meaning only "born from above." A
proper understanding, in my opinion, requires that Jesus be
understood as meaning both things. One must be reborn in the Spirit
in order to see the kingdom of God.
To say the same thing with different words, I think that the author
wants his or her audience to think and not to merely swallow dogma.
He is as much as saying that just as Jesus is more than appears on
the surface, Jesus' message is more profound than surface appearances
might lead one to believe.
Yours in Christ,
Your message has been successfully submitted and would be delivered to recipients shortly.

President and vice presidents
The importance of the architectural heritage of Brighton and Hove has received a significant endorsement, with Sir Simon Jenkins – chairman of the National Trust – accepting the presidency of the city's Regency Society. He took up the position on 1 January 2012.
"Brighton and Hove comprises the greatest monumental townscape in Britain," he says. "It is precious and constantly in need of defenders."
The Regency Society – the oldest conservation and amenity society in the city – has a long history of attracting high profile and respected supporters. Sir Simon, who says he is "delighted and honoured" by his new role, describes himself as "a sometime resident of Brighton" and replaces the Duke of Grafton, who died in April and was known in his younger days as the Duke of Preservation.
A celebration
More happily, our most senior vice president, Lord Briggs, celebrated his 90th birthday recently with a dinner at the University of Sussex, where had had been vice-chancellor before becoming Master of Worcester College, Oxford. Asa Briggs was one of the founders of the university, setting out to re-draw the map of learning and creating a pioneering university for the 20th century that was radically different to the more traditional universities that existed at the time.
John Wells-Thorpe was among the guests at the event. "After the reception, Lord Briggs spoke, without a single note, for 25 minutes," says Mr Wells-Thorpe. "When asked how he kept his mind in such fine fettle, he informed his audience that he wrote at least 1,500 words every morning, usually commandeering the kitchen table for longer than his wife would have preferred."

NLP is all about creating the future you want today. A couple of days ago I watched the first episode of the new series Flash Forward – it looks like it is going to be another compelling show. In it, during a mass blackout, people see a future time and then they begin to piece what is going on.
Many people are fascinated by trying to predict the future. People go to fortune tellers, read astrological charts and all sorts of other things.
I think the most important thing to realise is that nothing is 'fixed' and we can shape our own destiny. Fortune telling may be fun, but don't let it influence your behaviours or beliefs about what is possible!

Yes, you can checkout any portion of a tree so "svn co https://..../trunk/plugins/feeder feeder-plugin" would co the feeder plugin to a local directory called seeder-plugin. > Do we need trunk and branches for that? It is not a necessity, but I believe that there could be a time when it would be very handy. I can't give a use case right now, but I feel there will be one sometime, it is amazing how complex things can get when plugins start to interact and create dependencies on one another. > Is this "plugins" a sub-project of Forrest?

Remember Sean recent comment about only partial implementation of features. This is true if we have all the "extras" that have been bolted in, but if you strip Forrest down to its core functionality it is very complete. It will also help to address some of the concerns about incompleteness of some support (i.e. Open Office) reflecting badly on Forrest itself. > Are there other Apache projects, or any project actually, > that does plugins and uses SVN? We could model our svn setup. I suppose Cocoon Blocks are similar (but far more complex), I'm not sure how they are proposing organising SVN for blocks. At present they are in the main trunk in a blocks folder (which is how I was working on the branch and how Juan thinks we could work here). Ross

15 years old female from Kolkata asked
I am 15 year old. I had my first periods on 9 july 2016. It lasted for 3 days with very less flow. I started my second periods on 25 September and it is still continuing. I was having very heavy flow till yesterday. I had to change pads after every three hours. Today the flow is lesser comparatively. Today I am changing pads after 5-6 hours. I am absolutely tired of changing pads. We have a very important festival from 6th october to 11th october and I badly want my periods to end before that. Please help.
Hello. Firstly your in very small age and having your 2 nd menstrual cycle of life. My advice is that please wait for stopping your period naturally provided you don't have weakness due to heavy blood flow. Till next 6 months to 1 year you can have varied pattern of menses so don't bother. Start with ayurvedic medicine 1. Ashokarisht 2 tsp twice daily wid warm water till you get menses regularly with normal flow.

Efficient Exponentiation With Resistance To Channel Attack Computer Science Essay
Published: Last Edited:
This essay has been submitted by a student. This is not an example of the work written by our professional essay writers.
Security of information is of high priority in today's world. The mathematical complexity of the cryptosystems only protects it from logical/mathematical attacks. However, there are other means of attack such as those using side channel information to obtain power, voltage, leakage etc. statistics of the cryptographic device. This paper attempts to examine the different proposed algorithms concentrating on the efficient exponentiation methods that prove useful against side channel attacks.
Key words: RSA, Side Channel Attack, Power Analysis, Montgomery Multiplication method, m-ary method
1. Introduction:
Cryptography is the science of hiding information. For example, during the roman era, Julius Ceasar encrypted his texts by shifting each alphabet of his sentences by three alphabets. Through the advancement of modern science many algorithms for encrypting and decrypting a message have been developed. However, these algorithms are prone to attacks. That is, if the encrypted message is intercepted, it is likely that the interceptor develops ways to "crack" the original message. This project will deal with Side - Channel - Attacks with major emphasis on how to resist such attacks using exponentiation.
1.1 Side Channel Attack:
Side channel attacks are those attacks which make use of side channel information which can be retrieved from the encryption device. This information is neither the plain text not the encrypted text. When the plain text to be encrypted is fed into the encryption device, the input not only contains the plain text but also some additional inputs that are not part of the plain text. For example, the encryption devices produce timing information (this is easily measurable), radiations, power statistics etc. in most cases, the encryption device has voltage inputs that can be modified to give predictable outcomes. All or some of this information is used in side channel attacks to recover the key.
The side channel attack method was introduced by Kocher in 1996. Using side channel attacks, any cryptographic system can be broken using only a few hundred trials. The Fault attacks (FA) and Simple Power attacks (SPA) are the most effective. Side Channel attack devices are comparatively less expensive and range from couple of hundred to thousand dollars.
The first crypto system to be attacked using side channel information was the RSA (Rivest, Shamir and Adleman) cryptographic algorithm. RSA is a widely used public key cryptographic algorithm. It is classified as a one way function, which means that it cannot be reversed without knowing the private key. The extensive uses of RSA include electronic transactions, public signature applications, authentication schemes, smart cards, mobile phones etc. A bit length of 1024 for middle term applications and that of 2048 for long term applications is usually sufficient to be resistant against mathematical attacks.
Shamir, one of the creators of the RSA algorithm, distinguished between two types of attacks.
Active attack where a chip card (for instance) can be extracted, probed, partially destroyed, or used in varied environments,
Passive attack where a chip card can be externally watched during normal interaction with a chip card reader.
Active attacks are very powerful and often extract wide information about a system. These attacks are very rarely used to find individual secret keys as they are highly complex and expensive. Currently, the problem of protecting chip cards against active attacks has been unsolvable. On the other hand, passive attacks are due to the fact that an attacker has unsupervised access to the chip.
2. Power Analysis.
A chip card is known to be tamper resistant, and highly secure taking into consideration determined and well-financed attackers. The chip card is made of semiconductor logic gates made of transistors. When a cryptographic operation takes place, charges are applied to or taken from these transistor gates. The aggregate of all these charges are then tracked through the power consumption. If we connect a resistor in series with the chip's ground and the true ground, we can easily measure the power consumption. The current can be calculated using Ohm's law, i.e, the difference of voltage across the resistor divided the value of resistance would give the current flowing through the resistor. Hence, the power consumption can be used as a side channel to retrieve the key.
According to Kocher, Power Analysis (PA) attacks are a type of side channel attack. They are passive in the sense that they measure the power generated by the circuit while the circuit is carrying out encryption of decryption. The measured data gives the private key or some kind of information about it. Power Analysis have two types:
Simple Power Analysis (SPA)
Differential Power Analysis. (DPA)
Simple power analysis attacks measures the power consumption trace of the device in operation (when the device is encypting or decrypting) in order to retrieve the key or information about the key.
Differential Power Analysis attacks, tracks a large set of power consumption data and attempts to recover the key from observations and statistical analysis.
SPA is much less sophisticated as compared to DPA in general and is also less expensive. In SPA, a small number of rogue chip card readers can be used to analyze the power of a large number of individual cards. Since SPA requires only a minute trace of power consumption, the attacker can realize the attack without the knowledge of the cards owner. When the card owner uses his chip card for a transaction, an attacker can simply test the chip card for traces of power consumption using reasonable methods. These types of attacks can occur in secure Internet banking, Web Access and also remote corporate access networks.
However, in the case of RSA algorithm, it is easy to shield the encrypted message against DPA. The requirements of DPA demands that secret exponent is used to perform the attack with different input values. In order to effectively protect the message from DPA attacks, a random multiple of the group order is added to the exponent. Summing this up in equation form, it is represented as
cd+rφ(n) = cd mod n
This does not change the result, rather it changes the exponent itself. Hence, the side channel information recorded through different power samples is not related. The SPA however, though it is relatively simple compared to DPA, requires sophisticated countermeasures and is a pre-requisite to DPA because for the attacker the modified exponent d+rφ(n) is very similar to the exponent itself.
The RSA Algorithm.
The following notes show the calculations and methods involved in the encryption of RSA cryptosystems.
Choose a number 'N' such that it is a product of two large secret prime numbers 'p' and 'q'.
Calculate N=p x q
Calculate Z= (p-1) x (q-1)
Choose an integer 'e' such that it is co-prime to z.
Note: 1<E<z
Verify gcd [E,z] = 1
Finally compute 'D' such that D=E-1 mod [z]
The public keys are now 'N' and 'E' whereas the private key is 'D'.
Let 'C' be the encrypted message.
The receiver can decrypt this message by computing M=CD mod (N)
Modular computation cost and time are major factors that determine the performance of the RSA system. There are many different approaches to computation of the modular exponent which reduce cost and effort. Some of them will be discussed in this paper.
4. The m-ary Method
Exponentiation especially to very high powers can become tedious and time consuming. The m-ary method is a way to reduce the number of computations (multiplications) required in the exponentiation. Let the exponent be E, the number of bits scanned at a time be r, and the bit length of E is k. Now:
m=2r and sr=k
The powers of M mod N are calculated from 2 to m-1. This is the preprocessing required for m-ary method. The following algorithm gives the m-ary method.
Algorithm: The m-ary Method - left to right
Inputs: N = (nk−1, . . . , n1, n0)2,
E = (ek−1, . . . , e1, e0)2,
M = (mk−1, . . . , m1,m0)2
Output: C = ME mod N
1: Compute and store Mw mod N for w = 2, 3, . . . , m − 1.
2: Split E into r-bit words Fi for i = 0, 1, . . . , s − 1, sr = k
3: C = MFs−1 mod N
4: for i from s − 2 downto 0
5: C = CC2r mod N
6: if Fi not = 0 then C = CMFi mod N
5. Modified Representation of the Message
To effectively counter against SPA attacks, the exponent of the message can be represented in alternate form. This makes it well protected not only from SPA but also other types of power attacks.
R : Dk → {0, 1, ..., 2L − 1}; D is the digit set of the representation. For example, this can be a binary set representation. Larger representations of these digits can be used with pre computations to enable faster processing. Representations using signs can also be advantageous [example 0, +1] especially in the case of elliptic curves. This allows easy inversions. In RSA systems, inversions are very expensive and the symbolic representations do not have any significance. The user gains control of the control operations and hence control of side channel leaks by changing the representations without changing the values of the message itself.
One method to shield RSA from SPA attacks is to insert a dummy operation in a manner that the operation sequence does not depend on the message. This method of protection is flawed in the sense that computational cost is increased and also the message will now be vulnerable to safe - error - attacks.
5.1 Exponentiation with Integral Width Recoding.
Unsigned SPA resistant recoding of 'd' involves computing gd. The operation pattern is w-squares and 1 multiplication. The following algorithm illustrates this kind of exponentiation method.
Algorithm 1: Conversion to unsigned integral SPA-resistant representation
Input: L +2-bit exponent d = (10dL−1 . . . d0)2, width w;
Output: Recoded exponent (uL . . . u0);
1. i ↠0; γ ↠0;
2. while i ≤ L−w do
(a) ui ↠(di+w−1 . . . di)2 − γ;
(b) if ui ≤ 0 then ui ↠ui + 2w; γ ↠1; else γ ↠0;
(c) ui+1 ↠0, . . . , ui+w−1 ↠0; i ↠i + w;
3. if i < L then
(a) ui ↠(dL−1 . . . di)2 − γ;
(b) if ui ≤ 0 then ui ↠ui + 2L−i; γ ↠1; else γ ↠0;
(c) ui+1 ↠0, . . . , uL−1 ↠0;
4. uL ↠2 − γ; return (uL . . . u0);
Algorithm 2: Integral width pre-computations and exponentiation
Input: L +2-bit exponent d = (10dL−1 . . . d0)2, width w, basis g;
Output: c = gd;
1. g[1] ↠g;
2. for i from 2 to 2w step 2 do g[i] ↠g[i/2]2; g[i + 1] ↠g[i] âˆ- g;
3. recode d with Algorithm 1; i â†L−1; c ↠g[uL];
4. while i ≥ 0 do
(a) c ↠c2;
(b) if ui > 0 then c ↠c âˆ- g[ui];
(c) i ↠i − 1;
5. return c;
The above algorithm is a table based exponentiation. This can be a disadvantage as the table size becomes limited. Cost of pre computations become high and the table size increases exponentially with the width w, for large values, the number of bits that are scanned at one time soon becomes impractical for large values of w. The SPA resistant coding technique can also be modified to an unsigned fractional width recoding
5.2 Unsigned Fractional width recoding.
Here, we compute parameters x and y simultaneously. x corresponds to the width w and y corresponds to the width w - 1. The values of x and y are such that it should not be feasible for attackers to access the message. To do this, first a set of pre-computed values are calculated/randomized. More precisely,when the pre-computed table has k entries, define w = [log2(k)]. Then, the 2w−1 elements {c, c2, . . . , c2^(w−)1} are always pre-computed, but k−2w−1 additional pre-computed elements are randomly chosen in the set {c2^(w−1)+1, c2^(w−1)+1, . . . , c2^w}. In the following, we call B the set of the exponents of the chosen pre-computed elements.
The main idea in the following Algorithm is that the choice of recoding a sequence of bits with the width w or w - 1 looks random to the attacker. The principle of the recoding is the same as in the signed fractional width algorithm. B is the set of exponents of the pre-computed values, define the width w = [log2(k)] and the probability p = k/2w−1 − 1. Then, for x computed with width w and y with width w − 1, we apply the following rules:
Algorithm 1: Conversion to unsigned fractional SPA-resistant representation
Input: L +2-bit exponent d = (10dL−1 . . . d0)2, table size k, index set B;
Output: Recoded exponent (uL . . . u0);
1. i ↠0; γ ↠0; w ↠[log2(k)];
2. while i ≤ L−w do
(a) x ↠(di+w−1 . . . di)2 − γ;
(b) y ↠(di+w−2 . . . di)2 − γ;
(c) if x ≤ 0 then x ↠x + 2w; γx ↠1; else γx ↠0;
(d) if y ≤ 0 then y ↠y + 2w−1; γy ↠1; else γy ↠0;
(e) if x ≤ 2w−1 then
i. rnd ↠generate w − 1 random bits;
ii. if rnd < k − 2w−1 then ui ↠x; γ ↠γx; r ↠w;
iii. else ui ↠y; γ ↠γy; r ↠w − 1;
(f) else if x ∈ B then ui ↠x; γ ↠γx; r ↠w;
(g) else ui ↠y; γ ↠γy; r ↠w − 1;
(h) ui+1 ↠0, . . . , ui+r−1 ↠0; i ↠i + r;
3. if i < L then
(a) ui ↠(dL−1 . . . di)2 − γ;
(b) if ui ≤ 0 then ui ↠ui + 2L−i; γ ↠1; else γ ↠0;
(c) ui+1 ↠0, . . . , uL−1 ↠0;
4. uL ↠2 − γ; return (uL . . . u0);
1. if x ≤ 2w−1 then choose x with probability p or y with probability 1 − p,
2. else if x ∈ B (in other words, gx is pre-computed), choose x (this occurs with probability p),
3. else choose y (in that case, gx is not pre-computed, this happens with probability 1 − p).
Therefore, for randomly chosen exponents, the width w is chosen with probability p and w−1 with probability 1−p. Additionally, since the set B is randomized for each new recoding, the two patterns can actually appear for the same sequence of bits.
5.3 Exponentiation With Fractional Width Recoding.
The technique for the exponentiation with a fractional SPA-resistant width is almost the same as in the integral case, with the exception of the pre-computation step. Indeed, since the pre-computed table is de-generated, the values in the upper half part of the table are computed with a special procedure. Since gi = gi−2^(w−1) âˆ- g2^(w−1) , the pre-computations use the value g2^(w−1) which is already available in order to compute the upper half part of the table. Note that in Algorithm 2, for the sake of simplicity, the pre-computed table is indexed with the exponent of the pre-computed values. In reality, a look-up table should be used in order to save memory: such table could be indexed with the exponents of pre-computed values, and would additionally store a pointer to the actual location of the pre-computed value.
Algorithm 2. Fractional width pre-computations and exponentiation
Input: L +2-bit exponent d = (10dL−1 . . . d0)2, table length k, basis g;
Output: c = gd;
1. g[1] ↠g;
2. for i from 2 to 2w−1 step 2 do g[i] ↠g[i/2]2; g[i + 1] ↠g[i] âˆ- g;
3. for all i > 2w−1, i ∈ B do g[i] ↠g[i − 2w−1] âˆ- g[2w−1];
4. recode d with Algorithm 1; i â†L−1; c ↠g[uL];
5. while i ≥ 0 do
(a) c ↠c2;
(b) if ui > 0 then c ↠c âˆ- g[ui];
(c) i ↠i − 1;
6. return c;
6. The Montgomery Modular Multiplication Method (MMM)
The basic representation of this method is X.Y.R-1 mod N. This is slightly different from the usual RSA representation which is X.Y mod N. According to many researchers the MMM is the best approach on minimizing computation cost of modular multiplication. By redesigning the original RSA expression, the extra constant R-1 is removed. The method which will be discussed is with reference to Apostolos P. Fournaris's research paper.
To design a high FA and SPA resistant modular exponentiation, a carry and save logic is used in all inputs, intermediates and outputs of the MMM.
Montgomery Modular Multiplication method calculates the value of X.Y.R-1 mod. R is taken as a constant number, usually R is set to 2n. The value of R is chosen such that the greatest common divisor of R and N is 1 (which implies R and N are co-prime). But since N is the product of two prime numbers (all prime numbers except 2 are odd) the condition gcd(R,N)=1 will always be true for R=2n .
6.1 Montgomery Modular Multiplication algorithm:
The Montgomery algorithm replaces the division operation with 'k' divided by a power of two. Let a, b and N be binary numbers of bit size 'k'. We see that the computation time is greatly reduced and also the area for hardware implementation is reduced. MMM is defined as R = a'b'r−1 mod N, where r = 2k. The numbers a and b need to be converted to their N residue form such that a'= ar mod N.The multiplication of two N-residue numbers is also an N - residue number. The multiplication operation performed by the MMM is R' = arbrr−1 mod N = abr mod N. We require that R' and 1 are multiplicands of MMM as R = (abr) 1r−1 mod N = ab mod N.
A slight modification of the original MMM algorithm omits the final subtraction stage as proposed by Walter. The following algorithm uses MMM without the final subtraction step.
Algorithm: MMM with No Final Subtraction
Input: N = (nk−1, . . . , n1, n0)2,
X = (xk, . . . , x1, x0)2,
Y = (yk, . . . , y1, y0)2,
r = 2k+2 mod N, n0 = 1.
Output: T = MonPro_NFS(X, Y,N) = XY r−1 mod N
2: for i from 0 to k + 1
3: if (T + xiY ) is even then T = (T + xiY ) /2
4: else T = (T + xiY + N) /2
We use adders for the MMM in step 4 of the. CSA is a very convenient way to reduce 3 k-bit operands to 2 k-bit operands. The result is represented as a carry save operation (C,S). If we wish to reduce the results from 2 k-bit operands to 1 k-bit operands, a final addition step is necessary to convert back to the normal number representation. A convenient way to do this is by using, Carry Ripple Pipelined Adder (CRPA) The CRPA takes in k-bit operands one word per k/w clock cycles using a w-bit carry ripple adder. The figure for the CRPA is shown below. MMM block has been realized with MonPro NFS CSA algorithm, which is given as Algorithm below.
Algorithm: MMM with No Final Subtraction using CSA Representation
Input: N = (nk−1, . . . , n1, n0)2,
XC = (xck+1, . . . , xc1, xc0)2,
XS = (xsk+1, . . . , xs1, xs0)2,
Y C = (yck+1, . . . , yc1, yc0)2,
Y S = (ysk+1, . . . , ys1, ys0)2,
r=2k+2 mod N, n0 = 1.
Output: (TC,TS) = (XC,XS) (Y C,Y S) r−1 mod N
2: for i from 0 to k + 1
3: xi = xci + xsi, (C1, S1) = TC + TS + xiY C0,
(C2, S2) = C1 + S1 + xiY S0
4: if s20 = 0 then (TC,TS) = (C2 + S2) /2
5: else (TC,TS) = (C2 + S2 + N) /2
Fig 1: The Carry Ripple Pipelined Adder
7. Conclusions:
Security of information is of high concern in present times. As the methods of encryption improve so do the methods of attacks. RSA is a widely used cryptosystem and like any other algorithm is vulnerable to security breaches. Mathematical attacks can be easily shielded against by increasing the complexity of the algorithm. However, there are also other methods to analyze the cryptosystem and find a loop hole to attack it.
One such method is the side - channel - attack which makes use of the power spectrum generated by the cryptograph. To protect the message from side channel attack, we can use different methods of exponentiation with regards to the RSA algorithm. One of the most effective methods is the Montgomery Multiplication Method. There are also other methods such as simply modifying the initial definition of the RSA, i.e by adding an extra constant in the form of the expression X.Y.R-1 mod N.
Exponentiation not only protects the Cryptosystem from power attacks but also does so against timing attacks, cache attacks and simple power analysis. In order to design an effective exponentiation method, it is required that the method be efficient, not affect the performance of the system and also should be fast. The methods explained in this paper aim for the same, and are proven to be some of the most efficient and secure methods.
