So yes, it's in Bob's second category of history. :-) -----BEGIN PGP UNSIGNED MESSAGE----

Analysis of Neural Cryptography

Analysis of Neural Cryptography Alexander Klimov, Anton Mityaguine, and Adi Shamir Computer Science Department The Weizmann Institute, Rehovot 76100, Israel {ask,mityagin,shamir}(a)wisdom.weizmann.ac.il Abstract. In this paper we analyse the security of a new key exchange protocol proposed in [3], which is based on mutually learning neural networks. This is a new potential source for public key cryptographic schemes which are not based on number theoretic functions, and have small time and memory complexities. In the first part of the paper we analyse the scheme, explain why the two parties converge to a common key, and why an attacker using a similar neural network is unlikely to converge to the same key. However, in the second part of the paper we show that this key exchange protocol can be broken in three different ways, and thus it is completely insecure. ____________________ 3.

Jim pukes: >Because I can. >More slashdot is coming The shit you post is less than spam which has minimal content and is anonymous or forged and took slim intelligence to prepare and lob. You send your stinky asswipe, in your own shitty name, as if having wiped your asshole with an article means you need someone to tell you what's it said. Your momma may have done that for you, and may still do it, whispering your tiny brainlessness is so sweet, baby, but it's time Jim for you to use the Net for more than a replacement ofr the slit trench you came out of squawling and pissing. Momma Choate, sober up, your mustardy bastard has grown into a mooning buffoon like his lickturd daddy. Poke him back uphole till he's fully developed and housebreakable. Best, back to the future: sneak into a clinic and trash the shit machine, coathanger its solid noggin.
