The development programa that are •nonsored by the U.S. Energy Besearch and Development Administration (Etta) include the Iberian Utilisation Program (RGg fuel lecycle Development Program), the RGR base Technology Program, the HTCK Safety Programs, and the CCFt Progran. In addition to the Una progress, safety stadias and assess- •eats have aleo been perfornad at the request and under sponsorship of the Division of Systens and Safety and the Division of leactor Safety Research of the U.S. nuclear Regulatory Commission. These stadias con­ sisted of Independent, objective assessnents of the safety aspects of specific systens of power stations for which construction or operating licenses were being considered. This report documents the work perfomed under all phases of the RGB safety atodies at OWL. Major incentives for developing BTCBs are the prospects for economi­ cally attractive power production, improved fuel utilisation, the potential for obtaining low environs*ntal insect at a diversity of sites, the potential for high-tenperature direct-cycle and process heat applications, and the pertinence of the consonant technology to OCFBa. lecognition of these Incentives has led to the developaent, construction, and operation of several experimental and prototype nuclear power plants based on gas-cooled reactora that utilise various configurations of fuel, soderator, and gaseous coolant. More recently a number of construction-permit applications were considered within the U.S. for large central-station power plants based on a particular HTGR concept being offered commercially by General Atonic Company (GA). Much of the work for the Safety Prograa has concerned the study and assessment of the safety of these plants, such am the Summit Station for Delasrva Power and Light Company, and of their systems and components. Although plans for these power stations have since bean cancelled for economic reasons, the original commitment on the pert of the utility companies and GA represented a conviction that ill BLANK PAGE /£ iv 1Kb can be operated with a high degree of reliability and without ansae risk to the health sad safety off the public.

  • Tap Code 1 2 3 4 5 1 a B C D E 2 F G H I J 3 L M N O P 4 Q R S T U 5
    Solution to Kryptos 2: Challenge 1 The audio files indicate that the prisoners are communicating with each other by “tapping”. There are two distinct tapping sounds which indicate the two prisoners are exchanging some sort of information back and forth. Furthermore, unlike Morse Code, each audio file is made up of pairs of taps which leads one to believe that each pair of taps corresponds to a word or letter. The longest tapping sequence is five, so if one assumes that each tap-pair corresponds to a pair of integers between 1 and 5, then this code could encipher 25 items – most likely letters. At this point, one could try a frequency analysis to help identify which pairs of integers correspond to which letters. Alternatively, a little research might yield the “tap code” (see e.g. Wikipedia) which has been used by prisoners of war in various conflicts throughout history, most recently Vietnam. It is based on the Polybius square, some of which have slightly different arrangements of the 26 letters placed into 25 cells. Challenge 1 was based on the following key found on Wikipedia: Tap code 1 2 3 4 5 1 A B C D E 2 F G H I J 3 L M N O P 4 Q R S T U 5 V W X Y Z The tap code table This has all letters except “K”, so “C” is used instead. The letter “X” is used to separate sentences. The first audio file begins with the following tap-pairs: (2,4), (4,3), (1,3), (3,4), (5,1), (1,5), (4,2),… which yields the following plaintext: i, s, c, o, v, e, r, … By adding in the likely punctuation, the complete conversation can be decoded: PLAINTEXT Prisoner 1: Is cover intact? Prisoner 2: Yes.

  • On the Subject of Odd One Out
    Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes Mod Odd One Out On the Subject of Odd One Out One of these things is not like the others! One of these things just doesn’t belong! There are six buttons on the module which may display a variety of things directly on the button or in the display whilst hovering over a button. Five of the buttons, referred to below as the “good buttons”, satisfy a specific property which is described in the table below. Press the button that doesn’t belong — the “odd one out” — to move on to the next stage. The current stage is indicated by LEDs at the top of the module. Once 5 stages have been completed, press the button that has had the correct answer a unique number of times to disarm the module. You may long-press any button to reset the module back to stage 1. Display set Instructions Depending on the color of the LED to the right of the display: Red LED: The good buttons form a sequence of letters with equal distance in the alphabet, wrapping around from Z back to A. Yellow LED: The good buttons, when read in reading order, form a five-letter English word that is encoded using Atbash cipher. In this cipher, A↔Z, B↔Y, C↔X, etc. Green LED: The good buttons, when read in reading order, form a five-letter English word that is encoded using ROT13. In this Letters cipher, A↔N, B↔O, C↔P, etc. Turquoise LED: The good buttons have letters whose Morse code begins with the same two symbols.

ABSTRACT We unlock our smart devices such as smartphone several times every day using a pin, password, or graphical pattern if the device is secured by one. The scope and usage of smart devices’ are expanding day by day in our everyday life and hence the need to make them more secure. In the near future, we may need to authenticate ourselves on emerging smart devices such as electronic doors, exercise equipment, power tools, medical devices, and smart TV remote control. While recent research focuses on developing new behavior-based methods to authenticate these smart devices, pin and password still remain primary methods to authenticate a user on a device. Although the recent research exposes the observation-based vulnerabilities, the popular belief is that the direct observation attacks can be thwarted by simple methods that obscure the attacker’s view of the input console (or screen). In this dissertation, we study the users’ hand movement pattern while they type on their smart devices.

Avant-propos AVANT-PROPOS La cryptologie, plus communément appelée la science des codes secrets, est à la fois une science et un art. C'est une science, car elle fait appel aux mathématiques et à l'informatique, que ce soit pour chiffrer des messages ou pour les décrypter. La cryptologie est aussi un art, car elle fait appel aux talents d'intuition, d'imagination et d'invention du décrypteur, ces facultés étant elles-mêmes secondées par des connaissances linguistiques approfondies. Je voulais écrire un livre qui s'inscrirait dans la ligne de ceux des grands cryptologues du 20 ème siècle : Baudouin, Friedman, Givierge, Langie, Sacco, Fouché Gaines, Sinkov, et quelques autres. Leurs livres ne se contentaient pas de présenter des systèmes de chiffrement, ils montraient aussi leurs faiblesses et comment les décrypter. Je vous invite donc à un voyage dans le temps, depuis l'Antiquité jusqu'à nos jours, où vous découvrirez les systèmes de chiffrement qui ont marqué leur époque. Nous regarderons plus d'une centaine de chiffres, la plupart ne demandant que du papier et un crayon.

  • Perception and Action Planning
    EUROPEANJOURNAL OF COGNITIVE PSYCHOLOGY, 1997, 9 (2), 129± 154 Perception and Action Planning Wolfgang Prinz Max-Planck-Institute for Psychological Research and Institute for Psychology, University of Munich, Munich, Germany A new framework for the understanding of functional relationships between perception and action is discussed. According to this framework, perceived events and planned actions share a common representational domain (common-coding approach). Supporting evidence from two classes of experimental paradigms is presented: induction paradigms and interference paradigms. Induction paradigms study how certain stimuli induce certain actions by virtue of similarity. Evidence from two types of induction tasks is reviewed: sensorimotor synchronisation and spatial compatibility tasks. Interference paradigms study the mutual interference between the perception of ongoing events and the preparation and control of ongoing action. Again, evidence from two types of such tasks is reviewed, implying interfer- ence in either direction. It is concluded that the evidence available supports the common coding principle. A further general principle emerging from these studies is the action e ect principleÐ that is, the principle that cogni- tive representations of action e ects play a critical role in the planning and control of these actions. INTRODUCTION In this paper, I present a framework for understanding some aspects of the functional relationships between perception and action. It is mainly a framework for action control and action planning, but to some extent it is a framework for perception as well. Its core contention is that Downloaded by [University of Arizona] at 05:18 24 December 2012 perceived events and planned actions share a common representational domain.

  • Information Theoretic Secrecy for Some Multiuser Wireless
    The Pennsylvania State University The Graduate School College of Engineering INFORMATION THEORETIC SECRECY FOR SOME MULTIUSER WIRELESS COMMUNICATION CHANNELS A Dissertation in Electrical Engineering by Ender Tekin c 2008 Ender Tekin Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy August 2008 The dissertation of Ender Tekin was reviewed and approved∗ by the following: Aylin Yener Associate Professor of Electrical Engineering Dissertation Adviser Chair of Committee David J. Miller Associate Professor of Electrical Engineering John F. Doherty Professor of Electrical Engineering Guohong Cao Associate Professor of Computer Science W. Kenneth Jenkins Professor of Electrical Engineering Head of the Department of Electrical Engineering ∗Signatures are on file in the Graduate School. iii Abstract The widespread use of multiuser wireless communications has been raising the demand for higher data rates and until now that has been the main design focus in wireless systems. This design focus, however, neglects the critical issue of communications security inherent in wireless systems that present a channel that is very easy for people of criminal intent to tap. Existing approaches leave this important issue to the higher layers of the protocol hierarchies, yet the need to deal with it in lower layers is imminent as the security of many cryptographic algorithms is hard to evaluate and has caused disappointment in the past. In addition, there is rising interest in large networks of low-complexity transmitters such as sensor nodes and RF-ID tags that do not have room for complicated and computationally intensive cryptographic algo- rithms. Historically, communication secrecy has been evaluated using one of two approaches: information theory or computational complexity.

  • Computer and Data Security Class 4 ﺳﻜﻴﻨﺔ ﺣﺴﻦ هﺎﺷﻢ . د: أﺳﺘﺎذة اﻟﻤﺎدة
    Save from: www.uotechnology.edu.iq/dep‐cs Computer and Data security 4th Class أﺳﺘﺎذة اﻟﻤﺎدة: د. ﺳﻜﻴﻨﺔ ﺣﺴﻦ هﺎﺷﻢ Introduction to Data Security Basic Terminology Suppose that someone wants to send a message to a receiver, and wants to be sure that no-one else can read the message. However, there is the possibility that someone else opens the letter or hears the electronic communication. In cryptographic terminology, the message is called plaintext or cleartext. Encoding the contents of the message in such a way that hides its contents from outsiders is called encryption. The encrypted message is called the ciphertext. The process of retrieving the plaintext from the ciphertext is called decryption. Encryption and decryption usually make use of a key, and the coding method is such that decryption can be performed only by knowing the proper key. Cryptography is the art or science of keeping messages secret. Cryptanalysis is the art of breaking ciphers, i.e. retrieving the plaintext without knowing the proper key. People who do cryptography are cryptographers, and practitioners of cryptanalysis are cryptanalysts. Cryptography deals with all aspects of secure messaging, authentication, digital signatures, electronic money, and other applications. Cryptology is the branch of mathematics that studies the mathematical foundations of cryptographic methods. Basic Cryptographic Algorithms A method of encryption and decryption is called a cipher. Some cryptographic methods rely on the secrecy of the algorithms; such algorithms are only of historical interest and are not adequate for real-world needs. All modern algorithms 1 use a key to control encryption and decryption; a message can be decrypted only if the key matches the encryption key.

  • Enhanced Packet Delivery Techniques Using Crypto-Logic Riddle on Jamming Attacks for Wireless Communication Medium
    International Journal of Latest Trends in Engineering and Technology (IJLTET) Enhanced Packet Delivery Techniques Using Crypto-Logic Riddle on Jamming Attacks for Wireless Communication Medium O.S.C Kesavulu Assistant Professor, Department of M.C.A., St.Ann’s College of Engineering and Technology, Chirala, Prakasam(dt), Andhra Pradesh, India B.B.V. Satya Vara Prasad Associate Professor, Department of M.C.A., St.Ann’s College of Engineering and Technology, Chirala, Prakasam(dt), Andhra Pradesh, India Y. Srinivasa Rao Assistant Professor, Department of M.C.A., St.Ann’s College of Engineering and Technology, Chirala, Prakasam(dt), Andhra Pradesh, India Abstract - In this paper, we address the problem of jamming under an internal threat model. We discuss about Swift jamming attacks in wireless networks. We present a challenger model for selective jamming attacks, which may give to the high importance for packet Delivery Techniques. in which specific messages of “high importance” are targeted We illustrate the impact of selective jamming on the network performance by illustrating various selective attacks against the TCP protocol. We show that such attacks can be launched by performing real-time packet classification at the physical layer. We examine the combination of cryptographic primitives with physical layer attributes for preventing real-time packet classification and neutralizing the inside knowledge of the attacker. This intentional interference with wireless transmissions can be used as a launch pad for mounting Denial-of-Service attacks on wireless networks. Typically, jamming has been addressed under an external threat model. we develop three schemes that prevent real-time packet classification by combining cryptographic primitives with physical-layer attributes.
