Unlike analog technology which uses continuous signals, digital technology continuous or encodes the information into discrete signal states (Fig. 1). When only two discrete signals states are assigned per digital signal, these signals are termed binary si- gnals.

  • CS 255: Intro to Cryptography 1 Introduction 2 End-To-End
    Programming Assignment 2 Winter 2021 CS 255: Intro to Cryptography Prof. Dan Boneh Due Monday, March 1st, 11:59pm 1 Introduction In this assignment, you are tasked with implementing a secure and efficient end-to-end encrypted chat client using the Double Ratchet Algorithm, a popular session setup protocol that powers real- world chat systems such as Signal and WhatsApp. As an additional challenge, assume you live in a country with government surveillance. Thereby, all messages sent are required to include the session key encrypted with a fixed public key issued by the government. In your implementation, you will make use of various cryptographic primitives we have discussed in class—notably, key exchange, public key encryption, digital signatures, and authenticated encryption. Because it is ill-advised to implement your own primitives in cryptography, you should use an established library: in this case, the Stanford Javascript Crypto Library (SJCL). We will provide starter code that contains a basic template, which you will be able to fill in to satisfy the functionality and security properties described below. 2 End-to-end Encrypted Chat Client 2.1 Implementation Details Your chat client will use the Double Ratchet Algorithm to provide end-to-end encrypted commu- nications with other clients. To evaluate your messaging client, we will check that two or more instances of your implementation it can communicate with each other properly. We feel that it is best to understand the Double Ratchet Algorithm straight from the source, so we ask that you read Sections 1, 2, and 3 of Signal’s published specification here: https://signal.

  • Lecture 11 : Discrete Cosine Transform Moving Into the Frequency Domain
    Lecture 11 : Discrete Cosine Transform Moving into the Frequency Domain Frequency domains can be obtained through the transformation from one (time or spatial) domain to the other (frequency) via Fourier Transform (FT) (see Lecture 3) — MPEG Audio. Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) (new ) — Heart of JPEG and MPEG Video, MPEG Audio. Note : We mention some image (and video) examples in this section with DCT (in particular) but also the FT is commonly applied to filter multimedia data. External Link: MIT OCW 8.03 Lecture 11 Fourier Analysis Video Recap: Fourier Transform The tool which converts a spatial (real space) description of audio/image data into one in terms of its frequency components is called the Fourier transform. The new version is usually referred to as the Fourier space description of the data. We then essentially process the data: E.g . for filtering basically this means attenuating or setting certain frequencies to zero We then need to convert data back to real audio/imagery to use in our applications. The corresponding inverse transformation which turns a Fourier space description back into a real space one is called the inverse Fourier transform. What do Frequencies Mean in an Image? Large values at high frequency components mean the data is changing rapidly on a short distance scale. E.g .: a page of small font text, brick wall, vegetation. Large low frequency components then the large scale features of the picture are more important. E.g . a single fairly simple object which occupies most of the image. The Road to Compression How do we achieve compression? Low pass filter — ignore high frequency noise components Only store lower frequency components High pass filter — spot gradual changes If changes are too low/slow — eye does not respond so ignore? Low Pass Image Compression Example MATLAB demo, dctdemo.m, (uses DCT) to Load an image Low pass filter in frequency (DCT) space Tune compression via a single slider value n to select coefficients Inverse DCT, subtract input and filtered image to see compression artefacts.

  • FALL 2020 E-NEWSLETTER at Digital Mountain We Assist Our Clients with Their Computer Forensics, E-Discovery, Cybersecurity and Data Analytics Needs
    FALL 2020 E-NEWSLETTER At Digital Mountain we assist our clients with their computer forensics, e-discovery, cybersecurity and data analytics needs. For this E-Newsletter, we focus on ephemeral communications and the affect of disappearing messages on discovery cases. Ephemeral Applications: Digital Trick or Treat The trick in trick or treating is one that has evolved from the neighbor who dons a monster mask when opening the door to the disappearance of peanut butter cups when Dad does the safety check of the night’s candy haul. Our digital communications have gone through an analogous transformation as we first marveled at how much data our devices could hold. Just as we upgraded from a small plastic pumpkin to a pillowcase for larger candy collections - we saved a growing plethora of emails, text messages, digital images, voice messages, and all manner of documents on mobile devices. Now, with the rise of discovery, we want our vulnerable data to disappear as if it were our least favorite candy. Ephemeral applications may be just the trick for that unwanted data. Call It What You Will There is no consensus about what constitutes an ephemeral application beyond the understanding that there is an element of impermanence. In 2016, three Georgia Tech College of Computing researchers proposed the creation of “ephemeral apps” that would allow users to engage with apps on a trial basis that would “pop-up instantaneously” on devices and then disappear after a certain period (https://www.cc.gatech.edu/~kbhardwa/papers/eapps.pdf). At the opposite end of the spectrum, in 2017 fan favorite Snapchat modified its app to allow recipients to determine when photographs and video would disappear rather than the burn after reading settings that propelled Snapchat’s rapid rise (https://www.vox.com/2017/5/9/15595040/snapchat-product-update-limitless-q1-earnings).

  • Lecture Notes for Digital Electronics
    Lecture Notes for Digital Electronics Raymond E. Frey Physics Department University of Oregon Eugene, OR 97403, USA [email protected] March, 2000 1 Basic Digital Concepts By converting continuous analog signals into a finite number of discrete states, a process called digitization, then to the extent that the states are sufficiently well separated so that noise does create errors, the resulting digital signals allow the following (slightly idealized): • storage over arbitrary periods of time • flawless retrieval and reproduction of the stored information • flawless transmission of the information Some information is intrinsically digital, so it is natural to process and manipulate it using purely digital techniques. Examples are numbers and words. The drawback to digitization is that a single analog signal (e.g. a voltage which is a function of time, like a stereo signal) needs many discrete states, or bits, in order to give a satisfactory reproduction. For example, it requires a minimum of 10 bits to determine a voltage at any given time to an accuracy of ≈ 0:1%. For transmission, one now requires 10 lines instead of the one original analog line. The explosion in digital techniques and technology has been made possible by the incred- ible increase in the density of digital circuitry, its robust performance, its relatively low cost, and its speed. The requirement of using many bits in reproduction is no longer an issue: The more the better. This circuitry is based upon the transistor, which can be operated as a switch with two states. Hence, the digital information is intrinsically binary. So in practice, the terms digital and binary are used interchangeably.
