2001 Tiger Tots

London Sunday Times February 1, 1998 Arthur C Clarke sex scandal hits Charles's Sri Lanka visit by Yvonne Ridley THE Prince of Wales's visit to Sri Lanka this week hit a new problem last night after Arthur C Clarke, the respected science fiction writer due to be knighted by Charles, allegedly confessed to being a paedophile. The investiture is due to take place on Wednesday during the prince's visit, which coincides with the celebrations for the 50th anniversary of the island's independence. Downing Street said last night: "As far as we are concerned the investiture is still going ahead as planned." A spokesman refused to comment on the possibility of a forfeiture of the honour by the 80-year-old author of 2001: A Space Odyssey. Clarke's revelations, published in today's Sunday Mirror, are bound to embarrass Tony Blair, who named him in his first new year honours as prime minister. Last night diplomats in Colombo, the island's capital, were being asked to assess the author's tabloid confession. If the report is taken at face value the ceremony is unlikely to go ahead. Buckingham Palace advisers contacted British embassy officials in Sri Lanka this year to make discreet inquiries after rumours about Clarke's sexuality and private life. They reported that, although Clarke was known to be gay, there was no evidence of paedophilia. The British-born author of more than 80 novels, who has adopted Sri Lanka as his home, was unable to travel to Britain to receive his knighthood from the Queen because he is virtually confined to a wheelchair as a result of post-polio syndrome. In 1989 he was made a CBE for his services to British cultural interests in Sri Lanka, where he enjoys a tax-free lifestyle bestowed on him by the island because of his celebrity status. He previously met Charles at the British premiere of his Odyssey film in the 1960s, for which he received an Oscar nomination. Surrey-born Clarke was married briefly in 1953 to Marilyn Mayfield, an American who has since died. The marriage lasted about six months after a whirlwind affair. After the split Clarke moved to Sri Lanka, where he now lives in a luxurious home surrounded by state-of-the-art technology and computers that allow him to keep in touch with friends around the world. His study is lined with photographs of celebrities and admirers of his work, including the Pope, Diana, Princess of Wales, Elizabeth Taylor and the astronaut Neil Armstrong. The news also threatens to cast a shadow during the royal visit for senior officials on the island as they have always been proud of the eminent author's presence during the past 40 years. Homosexuality is regarded as an offence in Sri Lanka and carries a prison sentence of up to 10 years. Charles's planned trip was already marred last week by a terrorist attack on a temple that was to have been the scene of the independence celebrations. The bomb killed 17 people, including a suicide team who drove a truck into the old hill capital of Kandy. Buddhist leaders have called for a boycott of this week's ceremonies in protest at Charles's presence. They say Britain sympathises with the island's separatist Tamil Tiger rebels. They also claim the Tamil Tigers, who carried out the bombing, have been allowed to raise money in London for terrorist campaigns. Since the bombing some Buddhist leaders have intensified demands for a formal apology from Britain for its colonial rule. A Foreign Office spokesman said last night that he fully expected Charles's visit to Sri Lanka to go ahead despite the security fears over recent terrorist activities. A report that members of the prince's royal protection squad would not be allowed to carry guns was an "administrative point" that would be resolved before the party left, he said. "It is an island where there is a history of terrorist problems with the Tamil Tigers and, from time to time, with explosions and so forth, so not unnaturally we are looking very closely at security," the spokesman said.

Life continues to get more interesting. This coming week I'm flying to Netscape's headquarters in Silicon Valley to meet with Netscape's top brass and technical people. We're going to be defining Netscape's followup -- licensing terms, development strategy, freeware community outreach, spreading the free-software concept. Not only that, but arrangements are being made for me to meet with other leading Silicon Valley CEOs whose names I am not yet at liberty to reveal. The mission will to convince them that the freeware-centered, open-development strategy is the only way for them to head off total Microsoft domination. This is the big time, people -- the Internet free-software culture's breakout into commercial viability at a level even Wall Street can see is happening *now*. And I'm involved it up to my ears. *Gulp!* You'll have to excuse me for being a bit distracted just now. I've got some preparation to do...

Need electron microscope

I need access to an electron microscope, or better yet, a real chip analysis lab. This is for a serious project that would result in a scientific paper. Who can help?

Electron Microscope...
by Jim Choate 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Hi, I have a couple of suggestions: - Try several of the science museums around the country. As a result of my work with Discovery Hall I know that both Chicago and the Exploratorium in San Fran. had working available electron microscopes. Course this is nearly 10 years out of date too so who knows if they still run them. - You might also try one of the 4 schools in the US who have a certified Semiconductor Technology program. There is one here in Austin, one in Phoenix (I believe), and one somewhere in Oregon. I don't remember where the fourth one is. Call Intel or AMD and ask their HR or PR people where the schools are, they'll know. Good luck. ____________________________________________________________________ | | | The most powerful passion in life is not love or hate, | | but the desire to edit somebody elses words. | | | | Sign in Ed Barsis' office | | | | _____ The Armadillo Group | | ,::////;::-.

If you have a hash function and any symmetric cipher, you can do this. BEAR and LION, the two arbitrary-size block cipher constructions by Ross Anderson and Eli Biham, have this property; you have to process every bit of the message to check a key guess. Using normal chaining modes for this kind of thing, at least with 64-bit block ciphers, usually exposes you to internal-collision kinds of attacks. >> One word of caution (which should be obvious, but can't >> hurt to repeat it): if you chain ciphers (e.g. DES | IDEA | >> 3DES | CAST | Blowfish), be sure to use separate keys for >> each of them; otherwise breaking the last one will give the >> key to the whole lot. >Only if the cryptanalyst knows that the decryption of the >last one was correct, which shouldn't be possible without >also decrypting all the other layers. Actually, this isn't necessarily true. The problem is that you can't guarantee that there won't be some interaction between those encryption operations unless you can assume independent keys. The classic example is this: Suppose the first cipher is double-DES encryption with DES keys (K0,K1), and the second and third encryptions are single-DES decryptions with keys K1 and K0, respectively. You now have e_0(e_1(e_2(x))) leaking all your plaintext directly. The proof for why something like E(X) = IDEA_{K_0}(3DES_{K_1}(X)) is at least as secure as 3DES is as follows: Suppose those keys are random and independent, and suppose you have a way to break E(X). Now, anytime you see a 3DES-encrypted block of data, you can break it, as well, by simply choosing a random IDEA key, encrypting it under that key, and then applying your attack on E(X). In other words, the attack on E(X) implies the attack on 3DES(X), but only if the keys are independent. If there is some dependency between K_0 and K_1 that's required for your attack on E(X), then you can't generalize that out to an attack on 3DES, since you don't know the 3DES key when you start attacking it. To take this a little further, note that an attack on E(X) also implies a chosen-plaintext attack on IDEA. If I have an attack that allows me to break E(X), then I can choose a random 3DES key, pre-encrypt all my chosen plaintexts with it, and then request the encryption of all those plaintexts under the secret IDEA key. The result is E(X), so I can now apply my attack to E(X). For more elaborate constructions, like E3(X) = 3DES_{K_1}(IDEA_{K_2}(Blowfish_{K_3}(X))), we can make the same kind of proof. Suppose I can break E3(X). Now, I can mount a chosen-plaintext attack on IDEA. I select a random encryption key and use it to encrypt all my chosen plaintexts under with Blowfish, and then I request their encryptions. When I get the ciphertexts from that, I select a random 3DES key and encrypt them again. I then apply my attack on E3(X) to break the system. Thus, an attack on E3(X) implies an attack on 3DES, IDEA, *and* Blowfish. But only if the keys are independent and random. Note: I read CP-LITE instead of the whole list.
