Fans shower unwavering love and affection on their favouite celebrities but on the flip side the latter can also have experiences with them, which may not be pleasant enough.
Actress Rati Pandey, who shot to fame as Nupur in Miley Jab Hum Tum, has had one such experience with a fan that took her by shock.
The fan actually went to an extent of throwing a chappal at her. The actress recounts, "This is the first time I am actually revealing the incident as it's too embarrassing to even talk about. I was at Jaipur and was rushing back to Mumbai because I was in a hurry. I decided to go shopping before I had left the city. I was at this shop where two rowdy girls sauntered and asked me if I was Nupur. Since, I was running against time and couldn't afford to get into a lengthy conversation, I lied by saying that I am not her. This irked the two girls and in anger they threw a chappal at me. I was taken aback and it took me a while to realise it came from them. They immediately fled the place. My driver lost his cool and asked me to sit inside the car as he went to chase them. We tried our best but couldn't nab the girls. I have learned my lesson from this experience and every time someone asks me if I am Nupur or Hitler Didi, my answer is always a yes." Pandey will be seen as the protagonist in writer-turned-producer Ila Bedi's Hitler Didi and her character is inspired by the producer's life. Hope, the actress doesn't encounter such an experience ever again.

Intestinal transplants area rare, in fact less then a dozen have been preformed on area patients since the process was perfected in 1987. The difficulty for those who need the surgery is that it is not performed in Houston and most of those who need it are children. Because they are often very sick and post operative complications are usual, they are forced to stay away from home for an extended period of time. That burden will eased as the procedure will soon be done in the Medical Center.
Surgeons at The University of Texas Medical School in Houston and Memorial Hermann Hospital will be the first in the region to offer this life saving operation. Dr. Bob Saggi is a member of the transplant team. He says patients who suffer small bowel failure are usually on total parenteral nutrition.
"It is a means of feeding patients by IV, essentially those patients who have short gut syndrome or other forms of intestinal failure that result in inadequate surface area of the intestinal tract to absorb nutrients, fluids and electrolytes. So, essentially, these patients can't eat to nourish themselves and hydrate themselves and have to be on this TPN."
Dr. Saggi says about 80 percent of patients on TPN do just fine, but about 20 percent suffer intestinal and often liver failure.
and when they get to that point patients have a limited life expectancy. In fact the patients waiting intestinal and liver transplant surgery have the highest mortality while waiting for an organ transplant of any other organ in the United States including heart and lung.
This is complicated by the fact that about 60 percent of patients are children under five and most of that group is under three-years-old.
"The problem with children is that because of improvements in pediatric preventive care, we have fewer and fewer, thankfully, organ donors in the pediatric population. We also have to have a relatively small donor because when these patients are transplanted we have to have a donor who is about three-quarters the weight of the recipient, and that limits the availability of organs for these patients."
The need to travel a great distance for the transplant makes the process even more physically and mentally stressful.
"The most local center that is established is in Omaha, Nebraska at the University of Nebraska. It's a very good program, however, it is hours away. These are very complicated procedures and very sick patients, and as a consequence they often have to stay for a period of six months, assuming there are no complications, in the area where they are transplanted. That's often an undue hardship on families financially and from a personal stand point."
Dr. Saggi says intestinal transplants are not experimental, but they are cutting edge surgery. Recuperation is long because the patients are so sick, the high rate of rejection, and the complications of treating rejection. He says the rejection rate improves all the time because surgical techniques and medicines are improving.
The UT Houston transplant team is evaluating potential transplant patients and has several on the organ donor waiting list.

16 years ago I was a member for the original crew on the USS Bataan (LHD-5). This is my Plank Owners Certificate which the original crew receives after the ship is commissioned. It took a long time but I have finally made a frame for it so that I can display it in my house. I used simple pegged lap joint because of the ship lap joinery that you can see in the certificate. The wood is some old mahogany that my father in law gave me that cleaned up very nicely. The pegs are walnut i really like t contrast that it gives. The finish is BLO and it is the first time that I wet sanded with the BLO and I am very happy with the results. I hope you all enjoy. GO NAVY!!!

Tune in to Back Up's BBC Lifeline appeal on BBC One, this Sunday 14 June at 4.20pm and Wednesday 17 June on BBC Two at 1pm. Region times may vary.
Our appeal will be presented by star of TV Broadchurch, Rev and Peepshow, Olivia Colman, and will tell the stories of two people affected by spinal cord injury, Clair Turnbull and Joe Lockington. It also features one of our mentors, Matt King who appeared in Back Up's last appeal.
Joe had dreams of becoming a rock star. Everything changed three years ago. Joe had a blood clot on his spinal cord which had caused a stroke. He almost died. The stroke had permanently paralysed Joe from the neck down. Joe's mum contacted us after Back Up's last Lifeline appeal. Joe was matched with a Back Up mentor with personal experience of the challenges he was facing and he went on one of Back Up's activity courses. "Meeting Back Up made me realise that I can still go out and watch gigs." Back Up changed his life.

Leaking fuel
Evening fellas,
I have a 91 yj 6cyl auto with a 20 gallon fuel tank. Everytime I go to fill er up, it leaks just a little bit of gas to cause a puddle the size of a basketball. I'm wondering if y'all have any idea what this is, I doubt it is the fuel tank, but my knowledge of fuel lines and how they work is minimal at best, so any input/comment would be much appreciated. Also, I have noticed a significant drop in my gas mileage lately, I used to be able to go about 220 miles on a tank and now a days she is sputtering out on me at about 190. Wondering if these issues could be connected at all
Where is the leak coming from??? This is critical info if you really want help. Without that its a shot in the dark. Filler hose, vent lines, fuel lines, the tank itself.....
This happened on mine. In my case there is a filler hose and a vent hose between the gas filler cap and the gas tank. It had rotted out over time. The hard part was finding the part, I ended up finding it on JC Whitney. The repair took twenty minutes.
My '91 with 20 gal tank had a leak at one point also. If I remember right there was a recall on it to replace the seal (at the top of the tank) for the fuel pump assembly mount. Check with the dealer to see if the recall service was done. Might be able to get it fixed for free.
Mine actually had a crak in the tank at a seam.

Pyramids of Giza: Part Two
Vendetta-Age Three
"No! Like this, Vendetta! You will never do anything right if you can't learn to at least do this!"
A tear trickles down my cheek. Why is he yelling at me? Doesn't he know how hard I try to please him?
Slap! "No tears! Do you think that our people cry? No! We are strong, Vendetta, strong! Tears do not exist when you step into this room. This room is your world until you are taught. Nothing exists outside of this room! Nothing!"
"I want to go home," I say softly.
His shoulders relax, and he seems to realize he's been too harsh on me. After all, I'm only three, the youngest trainee in history.
"Vendetta, do you know what your name means?"
I nod and sit like he does on the floor. "It means 'revenge.'"
He nods. "Very good. Do you know why you're named 'revenge?'"
I shake my head.
"No? Then I shall tell you. Once, there was this very cruel man who was trained with your parents. He was almost as good as your father, but not as handsome. He and your father both liked your mother, but she chose your father. The other man got very mad. So mad, that after they were married and had you, he killed your mother, saying if he couldn't have her, then no one could. While trying to protect you, your father was killed. The coward murderer then killed himself. Your uncle found you the next day, and named you Vendetta, saying that you would be the one to avenge your parents' death. And then he brought you here, where we raised you, and are trying to teach you how to fight."
I yawn.
He smiles. "It is rather late, Vendetta. Maybe you should go to bed, and we'll continue this tomorrow."
I stifle another yawn. "But I'm not tired yet, Alessandro."
"Then do you want to try again?"
I nod and stand back up.
He hands me a small sharp knife. "Now throw, and hit the man over there in the heart."
I look across the dark room where he's pointing at the stuffed dummy and aim. The blade silently flies through the air and thuds into the fabric chest. Right in his heart.
Alessandro smiles. "Very good, Vendetta. Now it is time for you to go to bed."
With another yawn, I decide not to protest and follow him out of the room and to my small bed.

The left wing was tested by doctors Tuesday, although they had no explanation for his condition.
"But they're not worried," Bruins general manager Mike O'Connell said. "The tests showed that everything was fine, and he's going to be fine. He still has numbness, but I expect he'll be working out, and he should be in our lineup Sunday."
Samsonov, who leads the Bruins with 12 goals and 13 assists, first experienced the symptoms when he woke up Sunday after a game against Edmonton.
Also, defenseman Nick Boynton will be sidelined four to six weeks after fracturing a kneecap Sunday against Vancouver.
"I'm a little bit surprised because it was feeling better," he said. "Who knows? Maybe it's not as bad as it sounds. It's very frustrating, but that's the way it goes."
Blue Jackets activate Malhotra, Foote
COLUMBUS, Ohio — The Columbus Blue Jackets activated new captain Adam Foote and center Manny Malhotra from the injured list Thursday.
Foote, signed in the offseason as a free agent from Colorado, missed the last four games because of a groin injury. The defenseman became Columbus' captain Tuesday, filling a void created when Luke Richardson stepped down.
Malhotra, sidelined two games by back spasms, has two goals and a team-high 13 assists.
Sharks reassign G Schaefer to Cleveland
SAN JOSE, Calif. — The San Jose Sharks reassigned goalie Nolan Schaefer to Cleveland of the American Hockey League on Thursday.
Schaefer made a promising NHL debut this season, going 5-1-0 with a 1.88 goals-against average and a .920 save percentage in seven games.
He was the first San Jose goalie to win in his first five appearances, and he got his first career shutout Nov. 4, beating Anaheim 1-0.
Schaefer was recalled from Cleveland when Evgeni Nabokov and Vesa Toskala were slowed by injuries in October, but both goalies are back in playing shape.

Naked Photos of Jennifer Lawrence, Kate Upton and Other Female Celebrities Hit the Web Over the Weekend . . . And Everybody's Freaking
(Getty Images)
A MASSIVE amount of celebrity nudes hit the web over the weekend . . . including Jennifer Lawrence, Kate Upton, Selena Gomez, Hilary Duff, Kirsten Dunst, and Lea Michele.
Apparently someone hacked into the Apple iCloud, and stole photos people had taken on their phones and backed up online. And there's word that there could be MORE.
There were multiple photos of both Jennifer Lawrence and Kate Upton, and they each basically admitted they were real. Jennifer's rep said, quote, "The authorities have been contacted and will prosecute anyone who posts the stolen photos."
And Kate's attorney said, quote, "We intend to pursue anyone disseminating or duplicating these illegally obtained images to the fullest extent possible." And Kirsten Dunst, Tweeted, quote, "Thank you iCloud."
But Ariana Grande and Victoria Justice both claimed that the pictures of them that leaked are FAKE.
A TON of other celebrities had their private photos hacked and posted, including Kim Kardashian, Rihanna, Mary-Kate Olsen,Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Hope Solo, Krysten Ritter, Hilary Duff, Kaley Cuoco, Selena Gomez, McKayla Maroney,Aubrey Plaza and Lea Michele.
The FBI released a statement yesterday saying, quote, "[We are] aware of the allegations concerning computer intrusions and the unlawful release of material involving high profile individuals, and [are] addressing the matter."

text: IV054 CHAPTER 4: Classical (secret-key) cryptosystems • In this chapter we deal with some of the very old or quite old cryptosystems that were primarily used in the pre-computer era. • These cryptosystems are too weak nowadays, too easy to break, especially with computers. • However, these simple cryptosystems give a good illustration of several of the important ideas of the cryptography and cryptanalysis's. Classical (secret-key) cryptosystems 1 IV054 Cryptology, Cryptosystems - secret-key cryptography Cryptology (= cryptography + cryptoanalysis) has more than two thousand years of history. Basic historical observation • People have always had fascination with keeping information away from others. • Some people – rulers, diplomats, militaries, businessmen – have always had needs to keep some information away from others. Importance of cryptography nowadays • Applications: cryptography is the key tool to make modern information transmission secure, and to create secure information society. • Foundations: cryptography gave rise to several new key concepts of the foundation of informatics: one-way functions, computationally perfect pseudorandom generators, zero-knowledge proofs, holographic proofs, program self-testing and self-correcting, … Classical (secret-key) cryptosystems 2 IV054 Approaches and paradoxes of cryptography Sound approaches to cryptography • Shannon's approach based on information theory • Current approach based on complexity theory • Very recent approach based on the laws and limitations of quantum physics Paradoxes of modern cryptography • Positive results of modern cryptography are based on negative results of complexity theory. • Computers that were designed originally for decryption seem to be now more useful for encryption. Classical (secret-key) cryptosystems 3 IV054 Cryptosystems - ciphers The cryptography deals the problem of sending a message (plaintext, cleartext), through a insecure channel, that may be tapped by an adversary (eavesdropper, cryptanalyst), to a legal receiver. Classical (secret-key) cryptosystems 4 IV054 Components of cryptosystems: Plaintext-space: P – a set of plaintexts over an alphabet Cryptotext-space: C – a set of cryptotexts (ciphertexts) over alphabet Key-space: K – a set of keys Each key k determines an encryption algorithm ek and an decryption algorithm dk such that, for any plaintext w, ek (w) is the corresponding cryptotext and w d k e k w or w d k e k w . As encryption algorithms we can use also randomized algorithms. Classical (secret-key) cryptosystems 5 IV054 100 – 42 B.C., CAESAR cryptosystem, Shift cipher CAESAR can be used to encrypt words in any alphabet. In order to encrypt words in English alphabet we use: Key-space: {0,1,…,25} An encryption algorithm ek substitutes any letter by the one occurring k positions ahead (cyclically) in the alphabet. A decryption algorithm dk substitutes any letter by the one occurring k positions backward (cyclically) in the alphabet. Classical (secret-key) cryptosystems 6 IV054 100 – 42 B.C., CAESAR cryptosystem, Shift cipher Example e2(EXAMPLE) = GZCOSNG, e3(EXAMPLE) = HADPTOH, e1(HAL) = IBM, e3(COLD) = FROG Example Find the plaintext to the following cryptotext obtained by the encryption with CAESAR with k = ?. Cryptotext: VHFUHW GH GHXA, VHFUHW GH GLHX, VHFUHF GH WURLV, VHFUHW GH WRXV. Numerical version of CAESAR is defined on the set {0, 1, 2,…, 25} by the encryption algorithm: ek(i) = (i + k) (mod 26) Classical (secret-key) cryptosystems 7 IV054 POLYBIOUS cryptosystem for encrypion of words in the English alphabet without J. Key-space: Polybious checkerboards 5×5 with 25 English letters and with rows + columns labeled by symbols. Encryption algorithm: Each symbol is substituted by the pair of symbols denoting the row and the column of the checkboard in which the symbol is placed. Example: F G H I J A A B C D E B F G H I K C L M N O P D Q R S T U E V W X Y Z Decryption algorithm: ??? Classical (secret-key) cryptosystems 8 IV054 Kerckhoff's Principle The philosophy of modern cryptoanalysis is embodied in the following principle formulated in 1883 by Jean Guillaume Hubert Victor Francois Alexandre Auguste Kerckhoffs von Nieuwenhof (1835 - 1903). The security of a cryptosystem must not depend on keeping secret the encryption algorithm. The security should depend only on keeping secret the key. Classical (secret-key) cryptosystems 9 IV054 Requirements for good cryptosystems (Sir Francis R. Bacon (1561 - 1626)) 1. Given ek and a plaintext w, it should be easy to compute c = ek(w). 2. Given dk and a cryptotext c, it should be easy to compute w = dk(c). 3. A cryptotext ek(w) should not be much longer than the plaintext w. 4. It should be unfeasible to determine w from ek(w) without knowing dk. 5. The so called avalanche effect should hold: A small change in the plaintext, or in the key, should lead to a big change in the cryptotext (i.e. a change of one bit of the plaintext should result in a change of all bits of the cryptotext, each with the probability close to 0.5). 6. The cryptosystem should not be closed under composition, i.e. not for every two keys k1, k2 there is a key k such that ek (w) = ek1 (ek2 (w)). 7. The set of keys should be very large. Classical (secret-key) cryptosystems 10 IV054 Cryptoanalysis The aim of cryptoanalysis is to get as much information about the plaintext or the key as possible. Main types of cryptoanalytics attack 1.Cryptotexts-only attack. The cryptanalysts get cryptotexts c1 = ek(w1),…, cn = ek(wn) and try to infer the key k or as many of the plaintexts w1,…, wn as possible. 2. Known-plaintexts attack The cryptanalysts know some pairs wi, ek(wi), 1 <= i <= n, and try to infer k, or at least wn+1 for a new cryptotext many plaintexts ek(wn+1). 3. Chosen-plaintexts attack The cryptanalysts choose plaintexts w1,…, wn to get cryptotexts ek(w1),…, ek(wn), and try to infer k or at least wn+1 for a new cryptotext cn+1 = ek(wn+1). (For example, if they get temporary access to encryption machinery.) Classical (secret-key) cryptosystems 11 IV054 Cryptoanalysis 4. Known-encryption-algorithm attack The encryption algorithm ek is given and the cryptanalysts try to get the decryption algorithm dk. 5. Chosen-cryptotext attack The cryptanalysts know some pairs (ci , dk(ci)), 1 i n, where the cryptotext ci have been chosen by the cryptanalysts. The aim is to determine the key. (For example, if cryptanalysts get a temporary access to decryption machinery.) Classical (secret-key) cryptosystems 12 IV054 WHAT CAN a BAD EVE DO? Let us assume that Alice sends an encrypted message to Bob. What can bad enemy, called usually Eve (eavesdropper), do? Eve can read (and try to decrypt) the message. Eve can try to get the key that was used and then decrypt all messages encrypted with the same key. Eve can change the message sent by Alice into another message, in such a way that Bob will have the feeling, after he gets the changed message, that it was a message from Alice. Eve can pretend to be Alice and communicate with Bob, in such a way that Bob thinks he is communicating with Alice. eavesdropper can ClassicalAn (secret-key) cryptosystems therefore be passive - Eve or active - Mallot. 13 IV054 Basic goals of broadly understood cryptography Confidentiality: Eve should not be able to decrypt the message Alice sends to Bob. Data integrity: Bob wants to be sure that Alice's message has not been altered by Eve. Authentication: Bob wants to be sure that only Alice could have sent the message he has received. Non-repudiation: Alice should not be able to claim that she did not send messages that she has sent. Classical (secret-key) cryptosystems 14 IV054 HILL cryptosystem The cryptosystem presented in this slide was probably never used. In spite of that this cryptosystem played an important role in the history of modern cryptography. We describe Hill cryptosystem or a fixed n and the English alphabet. Key-space: matrices M of degree n with elements from the set {0, 1,…, 25} such that M-1 mod 26 exist. Plaintext + cryptotext space: English words of length n. Encoding: For a word w let cw be the column vector of length n of the codes of symbols of w. (A -> 0, B -> 1, C -> 2, …) Encryption: cc = Mcw mod 26 Decryption: cw = M-1cc mod 26 Classical (secret-key) cryptosystems 15 IV054 HILL cryptosystem Example 4 M 1 7 1 M 1 17 9 11 16 Plaintext: w = LONDON 11 c LO , 14 13 c ND , 3 14 c ON 13 12 Mc LO , 25 21 Mc ND , 16 17 Mc ON 1 Cryptotext: MZVQRB Theorem a 11 If M a 21 a 12 , then a 22 M 1 a 22 det M a 21 1 a 12 . a 11 Proof: Exercise Classical (secret-key) cryptosystems 16 IV054 Secret-key cryptosystems A cryptosystem is called secret-key cryptosystem if some secret piece of information – the key – has to be agreed first between any two parties that have, or want, to communicate through the cryptosystem. Example: CAESAR, HILL Two basic types of secret-key cryptosystems • substitution based cryptosystems • transposition based cryptosystems Two basic types of substitution cryptosystems • monoalphabetic cryptosystems – they use a fixed substitution – CAESAR, POLYBIOUS • polyalphabetic cryptosystems– substitution keeps changing during the encryption A monoalphabetic cryptosystem with letter-by-letter substitution is uniquely specified by a permutation of letters. (Number of permutations (keys) is 26!) Classical (secret-key) cryptosystems 17 IV054 Secret-key cryptosystems Example: AFFINE cryptosystem is given by two integers 1 a, b 25, gcd(a, 26) = 1. Encryption: ea,b(x) = (ax + b) mod 26 Example a = 3, b = 5, e3,5(x) = (3x + 5) mod 26, e3,5(3) = 14, e3,5(15) = 24 - e3,5(D) = 0, e3,5(P) = Y A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Decryption: da,b(y) = a-1(y - b) mod 26 Classical (secret-key) cryptosystems 18 IV054 Cryptanalysis's The basic cryptanalytic attack against monoalphabetic substitution cryptosystems begins with a frequency count: the number of each letter in the cryptotext is counted. The distributions of letters in the cryptotext is then compared with some official distribution of letters in the plaintext laguage. The letter with the highest frequency in the cryptotext is likely to be substitute for the letter with highest frequency in the plaintext language ….

Richelieu cryptosystem used sheets of card board with holes. Classical (secret-key) cryptosystems 23 IV054 Polyalphabetic Substitution Cryptosystems Playfair cryptosystem Invented around 1854 by Ch. Wheatstone. Key - a Playfair square or a word or text in which repeated letters are then removed and the remaining letters of alphabets are added and divided to form an array. Encryption: of a pair of letters x,y • If x and y are neither in the same row nor in the same column, then the smallest rectangle containing x,y is taken and symbols xy are replaced by the pair of symbols in the remaining corners of the square. • If x and y are in the same row (column), then they are replaced by the pair of symbols to the right (bellow) them. Example: PLAYFAIR is encrypted as LCMNNFCS Playfair was used in World War I by British army.

A 26 ×26 table is first designed with the first row containing a permutation of all symbols of alphabet and all columns represent CAESAR shifts starting with the\break symbol of the first row. Secondly, for a plaintext w and a key k - a word of the same length as w. Encryption: the i-th letter of the plaintext - wi is replaced by the letter in the wi-row and ki-column of the table. VIGENERE cryptosystem: a short keyword p is chosen and k = Prefix|w|poo VIGENERE is actually a cyclic version of the CAESAR cryptosystem. AUTOCLAVE cryptosystem: Classical (secret-key) cryptosystems k = Prefix|w|pw. 25 IV054 Polyalphabetic Substitution Cryptosystems VIGENERE and AUTOCLAVE cryptosystems Example: Keyword: Plaintext: Vigenere-key: Autoclave-key: Vigerere-cryp.: Autoclave-cryp.: HAMBURG INJEDEMMENSCHENGESICHTESTEHTSEINEG HAMBU R GHAM B U R GHAMBU R GHAM BU R G HAM B U R HAMBURGINJEDEMMENSCHENGESICHTESTEH PNVFXVSTEZTWYKUGQTCTNAEEVYYZZEUOYX PNVFXVSURWWFLQZKRKKJLGKWLMJALIAGIN Classical (secret-key) cryptosystems 26 IV054 CRYPTOANALYSIS of cryptotexts produced by VINEGAR cryptosystem 1.Task 1 -- to find the length of the key Kasiski method (1852) - invented also by Charles Babbage (1853). Basic observation If a subword of a plaintext is repeated at a distance that is a multiple of the length of the key, then the corresponding subwords of the cryptotext are the same. Example, cryptotext: CHRGQPWOEIRULYANDOSHCHRIZKEBUSNOFKYWROPDCHRKGAXBNRHROAKERBKSCHRIWK Substring ''CHR'' occurs in positions 1, 21, 41, 66: expected keyword length is therefore 5. Method. Determine the greatest common divisor of the distances between identical subwords (of length 3 or more) of the cryptotext. Classical (secret-key) cryptosystems 27 IV054 CRYPTOANALYSIS of cryptotexts produced by VINEGAR cryptosystem Let ni be the number of occurrences of the i-th letter in the cryptotext. Friedman method Let l be the length of the keyword. Let n be the length of the cryptotext. Then it holds l , I 26 0 . 027 n n 1 I 0 . 038 n 0 . 065 n i n i 1 n n 1 i 1 Once the length of the keyword is found it is easy to determine the key using the statistical method of analyzing monoalphabetic cryptosystems. Classical (secret-key) cryptosystems 28 IV054 Derivation of the Friedman method 1. Let ni be the number of occurrences of i-th alphabet symbol in a text of length n. The probability that if one selects a pair of symbols from the text, then they are the same is 26 26 ni i 1 n i n i 1 2 I n n 1 n i 1 2 and it is called the index of coincides. 2. Let pi be the probability that a randomly chosen symbol is the i -th symbol of the alphabet. The probability that two randomly chosen symbol are the same is 26 2 pi i 1 For English text one has 26 2 p i 0 . 065 i 1 For randomly chosen text: 26 i 1 26 2 i p i 1 1 26 0 . 038 2 Approximately 26 I 2 pi i 1 Classical (secret-key) cryptosystems 29 IV054 Derivation of the Friedman method Assume that a cryptotext is organized into l columns headed by the letters of the keyword letters Sl S S S ... S 1 x1 xl+1 xl+1 . 2 x2 xl+2 xl+2 . 3 l x3 xl+3 xl+3 . ... ... Xl X x3l . First observation Each column is obtained using the CAESAR cryptosystem. Probability that two randomly chosen letters are the same in - the same column is 0.64. - different columns is 0.38. The number of pairs of letters in the same column: The number of pairs of letters in different columns: 1 2 A n n 1 2 1 l n 1 0 . 027 nl 1 n l l l 1 The expect number A of pairs of equals letters is A Since I 2 n 2 l 2 n n l 2l n 2 n n l 2l n l 2l 0 . 065 n 2 l 1 2l 0 . 038 l 0 . 038 n 0 . 065 one gets the formula for l from the previous slide. Classical (secret-key) cryptosystems 30 IV054 ONE-TIME PAD cryptosystem Binary case: plaintext w key k cryptotext c Encryption: Decryption: Example: are binary words of the same length c = w k w = c k w = 101101011 k = 011011010 c = 110110001 What happens if the same key is used twice or 3 times for encryption? c1 = w1 k, c2 = w2 k, c3 = w3 k c1 c2 = w1 w2 c1 c3 = w1 w3 c2 c3 = w2 w3 Classical (secret-key) cryptosystems 31 IV054 Perfect secret cryptosystems By Shanon, a cryptosystem is perfect if the knowledge of the cryptotext provides no information whatsoever about its plaintext (with the exception of its length). It follows from Shannon's results that perfect secrecy is possible if the key-space is as large as the plaintext-space. In addition, a key has to be as long as plaintext and the same key should not be used twice. An example of a perfect cryptosystem ONE-TIME PAD cryptosystem (Gilbert S. Vernam (1917) - AT&T + Major Joseph Mauborgne). If used with the English alphabet, it is simply a polyalphabetic substitution cryptosystem of VIGENERE with the key being a randomly chosen English word of the same length as the plaintext. Proof of perfect secrecy: by the proper choice of the key any plaintext of the same length could provide the given cryptotext. Did we gain something? The problem of secure communication of the plaintext got transformed to the problem of secure communication of the key of the same length. Yes: 1. ONE-TIME PAD cryptosystem is used in critical applications 2. It suggests an idea how to construct practically secure cryptosystems. Classical (secret-key) cryptosystems 32 IV054 Transposition Cryptosystems The basic idea is very simple: permutate the plaintext to get the cryptotext. Less clear it is how to specify and perform efficiently permutations. One idea: choose n, write plaintext into rows, with n symbols in each row and then read it by columns to get cryptotext. I N J E D E M M E N Example S C H E N G E S I C H T E S T E H T S E I N E G E S C H I C H T E T O J E O N O Cryptotexts obtained by transpositions, called anagrams, were popular among scientists of 17th century. They were used also to encrypt scientific findings. Newton wrote to Leibnitz a7c2d2e14f2i7l3m1n8o4q3r2s4t8v12x1 what stands for: "data aequatione quodcumque fluentes quantitates involvente, fluxiones invenire et vice versa" Example a2cdef3g2i2jkmn8o5prs2t2u3z Solution: Classical (secret-key) cryptosystems 33 IV054 KEYWORD CAESAR cryptosystem1 Choose an integer 0 < k < 25 and a string, called keyword, with at most 25 different letters. The keyword is then written bellow the English alphabet letters, beginning with the k-symbol, and the remaining letters are written in the alphabetic order after the keyword. Example: keyword: HOW MANY ELKS, k = 8 0 8 A B C D P Q R T E F G H U V X L M N O P Q R S T Z H O W M A N Y E L K S B C D Classical (secret-key) cryptosystems I J K U V W X Y F G I 34 Z J IV054 KEYWORD CAESAR cryptosystem Exercise Decrypt the following cryptotext encrypted using the KEYWORD CAESAR and determine the keyword and k Classical (secret-key) cryptosystems 35 IV054 KEYWORD CAESAR cryptosystem Step 1. Make the frequency counts: Number 32 31 23 22 20 15 15 14 8 180=74.69% U C Q F V P T I A X K N E M R B Z D Number 8 7 7 6 6 6 5 5 4 54=22.41% W Y G H J L O S Number 3 2 1 1 0 0 0 0 7=2.90% Step 2. Cryptotext contains two one-letter words T and Q. They must be A and I. Since T occurs once and Q three times it is likely that T is I and Q is A. The three letter word UPC occurs 7 times and all other 3-letter words occur only once. Hence UPC is likely to be THE. Let us now decrypt the remaining letters in the high frequency group: F,V,I From the words TU, TF F=S From UV V=O From VI I=N The result after the remaining guesses A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z L V E W P S K M N ?

Would all letters of a 26-symbol alphabet have the same probability, a character would carry lg 26 = 4.7 bits of Information. The estimated average amount of information carried per letter in meaningful English text is 1.5 bits. The unicity distance of a cryptosystem is the minimum number of cryptotext (number of letters) required to a computationally unlimited adversary to recover the unique encryption key. Empirical evidence indicates that if any simple cryptosystem is applied to a meaningful English message, then about 25 cryptotext characters is enough for an experienced cryptanalyst to recover the plaintext. Classical (secret-key) cryptosystems 37 IV054 ANAGRAMS - EXAMPLES German: IRI BRÄTER, GENF Briefträgerin FRANK PEKL, REGEN PEER ASSSTIL, MELK INGO DILMR, PEINE EMIL REST, GERA KARL SORDORT, PEINE … … … … … English: algorithms antagonist compressed coordinate creativity deductions descriptor impression introduces procedures Classical (secret-key) cryptosystems logarithms stagnation decompress decoration reactivity discounted predictors permission reductions reproduces 38 STREAM CRYPTOSYSTEMS Two basic types of cryptosystems are: • Block cryptosystems (Hill cryptosystem,…) – they are used to encrypt simultaneously blocks of plaintext. • Stream cryptosystems (CAESAR, ONE-TIME PAD,…) – they encrypt plaintext letter by letter, using encryption that may vary during the encryption process. Stream cryptosystems are more appropriate in some applications (telecommunication), usually are simpler to implement (also in hardware), usually are faster and usually have no error propagation (what is of importance when transmission errors are highly probable). Two basic types of stream cryptosystems: secret key cryptosystems (ONE-TIME PAD) and public-key cryptosystems (Blum-Goldwasser) Classical (secret-key) cryptosystems 39 IV054 f In block cryptosystems the same key is used to encrypt arbitrarily long plaintext – block by block - (after dividing each long plaintext w into a sequence of subplaintexts w1w2w3 ). In stream cryptosystems each block is encryptyd using a different key • The fixed key k is used to encrypt all subplaintexts. In such a case the resulting cryptotext has the form c = c1c2c3… = ek(w1) ek(w2) ek(w3)… • A stream of keys is used to encrypt subplaintexts. The basic idea is to generate a key-stream K=k1,k2,k3,… and then to compute the cryptotext as follows c = c1c2c3 … = ek1(w1) ek2(w2) ek3(w3). Classical (secret-key) cryptosystems 40 IV054 CRYPTOSYSTEMS WITH STREAMS OF KEYS Various techniques are used to compute a sequence of keys. For example, given a key k ki = fi (k, k1, k2, …, ki-1) In such a case encryption and decryption processes generate the following sequences: Encryption: To encrypt the plaintext w1w2w3 … the sequence k 1, c 1, k 2, c 2, k 3, c 3, … of keys and sub-cryptotexts is computed. Decryption: To decrypt the cryptotext c1c2c3 … the sequence k 1, w1, k 2, w2, k 3, w3, … of keys and subplaintexts is computed. Classical (secret-key) cryptosystems 41 IV054 EXAMPLES A keystream is called synchronous if it is independent of the plaintext. KEYWORD VIGENERE cryptosystem can be seen as an example of a synchronous keystream cryptosystem. Another type of the binary keystream cryptosystem is specified by an initial sequence of keys k1, k2, k3 … km b1, b2, b3 … bm-1 and a initial sequence of binary constants and the remaining keys are computed using the rule m 1 ki m b j k i j mod 2 j0 A keystrem is called periodic with period p if ki+p = ki for all i. Example Let the keystream be generated by the rule ki+4 = ki ki+1 If the initial sequence of keys is (1,0,0,0), then we get the following keystream: 1,0,0,0,1,0,0,1,1,0,1,0 1,1,1, … of period 15. Classical (secret-key) cryptosystems 42 IV054 PERFECT SECRECY - BASIC CONCEPTS Let P, K and C be sets of plaintexts, keys andcryptotexts. Let pK(k) be the probability that the key k is chosen from K and let a priory probability that plaintext w is chosen is pp(w). If for a key k K, C k e k w | w P , then for the probability PC(y) that c is the cryptotext that is transmitted it holds p C c p K k p P d k c . k |cC k For the conditional probability pc(c|w) that c is the cryptotext if w is the plaintext it holds p C c | w p K k . k | w d k c Using Bayes' conditional probability formula p(y)p(x|y) = p(x)p(y|x) we get for probability pP(w|c) that w is the plaintext if c is the cryptotext the expression pP Classical (secret-key) cryptosystems PP w k |w d k c p K k k |cC K p K k p P d K c . 43 IV054 PERFECT SECRECY - BASIC RESULTS Definition A cryptosystem has perfect secrecy if p P w | c p P w for all w P and c C. (That is, the a posteriori probability that the plaintext is w,given that the cryptotext is c is obtained, is the same as a priori probability that the plaintext is w.) Example CAESAR cryptosystem has perfect secrecy if any of the26 keys is used with the same probability to encode any symbol of the plaintext. Proof Exercise. An analysis of perfect secrecy: The condition pP(w|c) = pP(w) is for all wP and cC equivalent to the condition pC(c|w) = pC(c). Let us now assume that pC(c) > 0 for all cC. Fix wP. For each cC we have pC(c|w) = pC(c) > 0. Hence, for each c€C there must exists at least one key k such that ek(w) = c. Consequently, |K| >= |C| >= |P|. In a special case |K| = |C| = |P|. the following nice characterization of the perfect secrecy can be obtained: Theorem A cryptosystem in which |P| = |K| = |C| provides perfect secrecy if and only if every key is used with the same probability and for every wP and every c€C there is a unique key k such that ek(w) = c. Proof Exercise. Classical (secret-key) cryptosystems 44 IV054 PRODUCT CRYPTOSYSTEMS A cryptosystem S = (P, K, C, e, d) with the sets of plaintexts P, keys K and cryptotexts C and encryption (decryption) algorithms e (d) is called endomorphic if P = C. If S1 = (P, K1, P, e(1), d (1)) and S2 = (P, K2, P, e (2), d (2)) are endomorphic cryptosystems, then the product cryptosystem is S1 S2 = (P, K1 K2, P, e, d), where encryption is performed by the procedure e( k1, k2 )(w) = ek2(ek1(w)) and decryption by the procedure d( k1, k2 )(c) = dk1(dk2(c)). Example (Multiplicative cryptosystem): Encryption: ea(w) = aw mod p; decryption: da(c) = a-1c mod 26. If M denote the multiplicative cryptosystem, then clearly CAESAR × M is actually the AFFINE cryptosystem. Exercise Show that also M CAESAR is actually the AFFINE cryptosystem. Two cryptosystems S1 and S2 are called commutative if S1 S2 = S2 S1. A cryptosystem S is called idempotent if S S = S.

Has my chin implant shifted? I'm 4 months post op. Medium size installed.
I feel a dent -- the inverse of a ridge, just in the front of the lower mandible, almost an inch long. I'm happy my doc was able to preserve my chin cleft. I cannot feel any noticeable changes along the sides where the implant arms would be. When I smile, usually a big happy smile, I can see it is not smooth because my skin pulls tight across that area and it looks unnatural. Does the side profile look like it has shifted up over the tip of my mandible or are proportions good? Thank you.

What She Never Got To SayMature
20th December, 2070, Suffolk, England
Today was Tina's funeral. After five weeks locked away in a mental asylum, she finally died from exhaustion and dementia. Ironically (and in the most sour way possible), it was the same way that Adolf Hitler had supposedly died. A fact that will forever turn my heart black with sorrow at even the slightest mention.
Every time we went to visit her in the asylum, I was humbled by the amount of care and dignity they provided my wife with while she was sick. Each time either I or Maddy tried to talk to her while she was awake, she would ignore every word we said, start babbling some gibberish in a language that sounded part German, part alien, and every time, every time, she would finish by howling at the top of her lungs for exactly two minutes and one second before her voice would start to crack and she would cease the howl. After that she would stare.
Just stare. Not at me, not at her daughter, but at a painting of a forest in the shadows, with the silhouette of a wolf howling on the edge of a rock.
When Tina would start howling, Maddy would too, but not that of a wolf. Of a petrified, mourning child, who for some reason had accepted in her eyes that from now on this would be the most she'd get from her mother for the rest of her life. When Tina started howling, my heart shredded itself apart at an agonisingly slow pace, tears would stream down both of our cheeks like waterfalls as we let the torrent of sadness wash over us as our Tina howled, and howled, and howled.
At the funeral it started off with the traditional song with a trumpet that was usually played at funerals. As I struggled to keep it together, I could hear Maddy begin to sob uncontrollably. The hand I had on her shoulder could feel her shake, tears stung in the corners of my eyes.
Once the local reverend was done with his speech, he asked if any of our friends wanted to say anything, of course no-one had the courage to, as nobody knew her that well, and Frank was in hospital after falling from a ladder at work this morning so Sally couldn't make it either. I'd already told the reverend in advance that I didn't want to say anything in case of finishing with exploding rage about how the Nazis had poisoned my wife. Right now I had never resented the time-travel more in my entire life. I would have much rather have lived another seven to eight happy years with my wife and my child before the nuclear bombs were dropped rather than spend a month of misery and confusion in a time that wasn't ours.
The reverend looked at me as to ask if I had changed my mind and wanted to say a few words on the ten-inch podium, but I shook my head in grave response.
"No thank you." I mumbled.
And that's when the most heart-warming and heart-wrenching thing happened at the same time.
"Can I say something?" Maddy asked, in her petite, wispy voice. Her sobbing had sobered down to miniscule, vibrations of her body, the lines of tears firmly stamped on her cheeks.
"Yes of course you may." The reverend replied.
When she got on to the podium, her head just about made it over the edge. The reverend bent sideways to adjust the microphone to the lowest height before straightening back to his position.
She cleared her throat, the most important speech to her she would ever utter, 7 years old.
"One day, when we were back in the park, in old England, I said to my mummy, 'what happens when someone dies?'
"She said, 'when someone dies, they close their eyes and float away to another place, no-one knows where it is, you don't know until you get there.'
"Then I said, 'why do they close their eyes mummy?'
"She said 'because before they stop breathing, before they get buried, they want to think about their most favourite memory in the whole wide world.'
"I asked her 'what is yours mummy?'
"She told me 'my favourite memory is of the time you were born, when your dad stood by me and held you in his arms. That was the happiest day of my life, the day we became a family." Maddy choked up then, and started crying once more. I rushed over to my little girl and gave her the biggest squeeze I had ever given her. And said "It's alright poppet, I'm right by your side." She looked up at me, saw the tears in my eyes and the comfort from my smile, and reciprocated, weakly, before turning back to the microphone.
"That's why it's okay if mummy's gone now. Because the last thing she will think about forever and ever, is of the day we were a family, so I know in my heart, we will never not be a family. We will always love each other." She started crying again as she turned her head away into my suit and wept as I held her tight and wept along with her.
I could hear some of the people say things like 'aww' and 'isn't she a darling!' and I just wanted all of them to bugger off, because right now the only thing the two us wanted was to be alone together with our dead mummy as the truth about what we didn't want to know hit us squarely in the chest.
When we got back home there was a letter on my pillow. I ripped it open with fumbling hands as I struggled to keep the tremor in my hands at a low pace.
Dear Lyle and Maddy,
This letter is only for you to read in the case that I die, because as long as I'm still alive you won't need this letter for me to convince you of the truth. What Ulrich told me was so enlightening…I can't even begin to describe it properly. If you say yes, you are led into a chamber where you find a naturally formed statue of a cross bent into the form of a Swastika. Inside the huge cross, It resides. The whole thing is constantly moving, sometimes it looks like the cross, sometimes it just looks like It itself. And when you touch it, the feeling is indescribable. You understand why we were destined to come to the year 2070 and not stay in 2018, why we were born and what are our purposes on Earth and when you pass through the Himmelstor. It upsets me to know that whatever I try you probably won't go and see for yourself because your one Achilles heel is that even when you shouldn't be, you are stubborn to the core-unwilling to see what you don't want to. My encounter with truth has not deterred me at all from my unconditional love for you and our daughter, but I want you and Maddy to join me in this spiritual enlightenment, to experience what I've experienced, as a team.
I love you 'till the ends of the Universe and through every dimension you can dream of.
Your soul mate,
I scrunched up the piece of paper and screamed at the top of my lungs. From the moment she had gotten out of the temple she had been declared insane by even the local authorities, no way would she have been able to write such a letter, especially when all she could come out with was some alien gibberish. This had been written by that dictator himself.
Maddy came into my room at that point, and darted straight towards me for a hug.
We were alone, my wife had left us alone for something nothing more than a poisonous lie.
Alone. Together.
Just me and my Maddy.
But not for much longer either.
Because tomorrow I'm going to march into that palace and kill the fucking murderer myself.

Jim Cantiello of MTV News grades this season's guest judges so far. At the top of the list: Katy Perry, with an A+. At this bottom: Joe Jonas gets an F. James Montgomery, however, thinks Neil Patrick Harris might just be the greatest American Idol guest judge of all time. Montgomery's reasoning? "Harris was smart, funny, and -- most of all -- cutting. He was unafraid to shatter dreams or snicker at particularly awful wannabes. He didn't stand down to the wrath of Simon Cowell (in fact, he seemed to go out of his way to instigate the cranky Brit)."
• Ryan Seacrest interviewed Angela Martin on his radio show in hopes her appearance might help turn up a lead about her missing mother.
• Dave Pittman has been booked to appear at a Tourette Syndrome Association convention in New York this June.
• According to TMZ, General Larry Platt will sing Pants on the Ground on the Grammy red carpet Sunday (though he won't attend the awards ceremony itself).
• The Feb. 3 episode of American Idol apparently will feature a montage of people performing Pants on the Ground, including Ithaca College's male vocal ensemble Ithacappella. It'll probably sound something like this:
Nashville-based Brian Mansfield began writing about music for USA TODAY in 1997 and took over Idol Chatter just before the start of Season 8. He co-authored Make Me a Star: Industry Insiders Reveal How to Make It in Music, and while he has never auditioned for American Idol, he did sing Boot Scootin' Boogie at Disney World's American Idol Experience the day the attraction opened (he lost).

What Should They Do?
It was a typical Day 4 at W.S. Hawrylak School, and Rooms 205 & 209 were finishing off the day with Tech Buddies, when all of a sudden, they were left in total darkness. The lights had gone out and they could not see a thing.
All of a sudden, the school went dark, really dark! What was happening? At first Room 205 & 209 students just sat there waiting for the lights to come back on. After a few seconds, some of them got the giggles, and before long, the entire upstairs was filled with a very contagious giggling sound.
After a few minutes, the giggling began to die out, as the students realized that the lights were not coming back on, at least not for awhile. The Grade 6/7 students reached over and held the hand of the Grade 3 Tech Buddies and told them that it was going to be okay. It was so dark that they could not even see the faces of their buddies. They waited, expecting to hear Mrs. Bower's or Mrs. Porritt's voices, telling them that everything would be okay and that someone was fixing the problem, and they would soon have light again. They waited and waited and waited, but no lights and no voices from the teachers.
It wasn't long before some of the students became frightened. Voices began to call out for Mrs. Bower and Mrs. Porritt, but there was no reply from either of their teachers. You could 'feel' the panic in the air, as students came to the realization that something was really, really wrong! What should they do?

Hi all,
I have this code:
var workstatus = this.getValue("claimant.workstatus");
if (workstatus.valueAsString == 'Select a Work Level')
app.a lert("Please select a valid option from the claimant work status drop-down list.",2,0);
app.a lert(workstatus.value,2,0);
I can't seem to get to work, using Acro6.
I've tried using parens, brackets, just like the AJSR states and other ways as seen on here. With no luck. I am not totally sure that the workstatus is recieving the correct value, as it is in a single select combobox, but the else statement should cover that situation. Any ideas.

Ripoff Report
Triple S properties2112 W Vista springfield, Missouri USA
Triple S properties MIKE SEITZ, THE OWNER using derogatory language, not fixing things in a timely manner, renewing lease without consent springfield Missouri
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
When I moved into my new (but old) house threw Triple S properties, I was excited and had high hopes.
Soon after, I started seeing cockroaches. I called Triple S properties to let them know we had an infestation. Someone came out and sprayed, after someone (did not say their name) said nobody had lived there in over a year. That wasn't a concern, but when I reached them again, they offered another home. This left me weary, like they knew about the infestation but did not care (i have children). I explained I did not want to remove all of my belongings again immediately. I had just got comfortable and I'd like them to fix the problem.
Anyways, as time went on, I explained the bathroom floor was falling threw due to mold. They told BBB they tried reaching me multiple times to come fix it. That is a lie. I'd like to see those records because I always made sure that if I didn't answer, I called back. Matter of a fact, the maintenance would text me. They say they offered to come do it while I wasn't home. Well, I don't know anyone that wants a complete stranger in their house while their not home. This took months of setting up times but just not showing up.
When they did come fix the bathroom... it was such a terrible job, that the toilet starting sinking and the tile started coming up every where. I complained.
At one point, I called about the bathroom and talked to Mike, the owner. He told me to "stop breaking things." And "your just trying to get out of the lease." When this was NOT what I was doing. I pay almost 800 dollars a month for something only worth 500, so yeah! I want him to fix the problems. He then called me a "B*tch". I've never in my life been talked to the way he did me that day. I cried for days.
I finally asked if I could speak to him in person and he refused. I've never even seen his face... he makes sure of that.
At time goes by and my lease gets closer to the end, I start searching for a cheaper home. Then one day I receive a letter saying my lease was automatically renewed and there was a 3.5% Increase in rent making it well over its worth. I called frantically crying because I couldn't afford this. I was barely making it.
They don't tell you anything about the lease and they sugar coat everything. They were heartless about it. They wanted me to have to leave and owe them all that money. I'm a single mother WORKING 60 hours a week to afford my bills.
There was no sympathy or kind words. Just too bad! MIKE SEITZ should be shut down. Look at his reviews. He's been turned into the BBB 15 times in 12 months. Does that sound like somebody you want to rent from?
One final thing... this is how people end up living in a box behind Wal-Mart. Companies like this that take advantage of innocent people. I did my part, start doing yours MIKE SEITZ.
