  • Cryptographic Software: Vulnerabilities in Implementations 1
    Pobrane z czasopisma Annales AI- Informatica http://ai.annales.umcs.pl Data: 03/10/2021 00:10:27 Annales UMCS Informatica AI XI, 4 (2011) 1–10 DOI: 10.2478/v10065-011-0030-7 Cryptographic software: vulnerabilities in implementations Michał Łuczaj1∗ 1Institute of Telecommunications, Warsaw University of Technology Poland Abstract – Security and cryptographic applications or libraries, just as any other generic software products may be affected by flaws introduced during the implementation process. No matter how much scrutiny security protocols have undergone, it is — as always — the weakest link that holds everything together to makes products secure. In this paper I take a closer look at problems usually resulting from a simple human made mistakes, misunderstanding of algorithm details or a plain lack of experience with tools and environment. In other words: everything that can and will happen during software development but in the fragile context of cryptography. UMCS1 Introduction I begin with a brief introduction of typical mistakes and oversights that can be made during program implementation in one of the most popular programming languages, C[1]. I also explain the concept of exploitable memory corruption, how critical it is and where it leads from the attacker’s point of view. A set of real-world examples is given. Some well known previously disclosed vulner- abilities are brought to illustrate how a flaw (sometimes even an innocent looking) can fatally injune security of the whole protocol, algorithm. There is much to discuss as failed attempts at implementing cryptographic primitives — or making use of cryptog- raphy in general — range broadly.

[Purpose] Balance is an integral part of human ability. The smart balance master system (SBM) is a balance test instrument with good reliability and validity, but it is expensive. Therefore, we modified a Wii Fit bal- ance board, which is a convenient balance assessment tool, and analyzed its reliability and validity. [Subjects and Methods] We recruited 20 healthy young adults and 20 elderly people, and administered 3 balance tests. The corre- lation coefficient and intraclass correlation of both instruments were analyzed. [Results] There were no statistically significant differences in the 3 tests between the Wii Fit balance board and the SBM. The Wii Fit balance board had a good intraclass correlation (0.86–0.99) for the elderly people and positive correlations (r = 0.58–0.86) with the SBM. [Conclusions] The Wii Fit balance board is a balance assessment tool with good reliability and high validity for elderly people, and we recommend it as an alternative tool for assessing balance ability.

  • The Wii Loop Machine Musical Software Development for the Nintendo Wii Remote
    The Wii Loop Machine Musical Software Development for the Nintendo Wii Remote Yann Seznec, Edinburgh, Scotland. [email protected]; +44.7847.588.685 Abstract. This paper will discuss the Wii Loop Machine, a standalone application built in March 2007 in Max/MSP that enables anyone to generate and manipulate music wirelessly using the Nintendo Wii Remote. While not the first “software hack” to use the Wiimote to play with music, I would argue that it is perhaps the most successful. I will explain the conception and creation of this project, as well as it’s reception. I will examine why the Wii Loop Machine was so successful, and share some ideas concerning it’s potential as a commercial product. 1. Introduction The Nintendo Wii console was released towards the end of 2006 in North America, Japan, and Europe. By all accounts the reception took virtually everyone by surprise – Amazon.co.uk’s entire pre-order stock was sold out in just seven minutes, making it the fastest selling product in the site’s history.1 Since then the console has unexpectedly outsold the Sony Playstation 3, has even outpaced the Xbox 360 to become (according to some reports) the highest selling seventh generation gaming console.2 Why is the Wii console such a success, breaking all sales predictions and perhaps even reinventing the console gaming market? Many have remarked on it’s relatively poor graphics and sound capabilities, at least compared to the rival Xbox and Figure 1: Wii Loop Machine Screenshot PS3 devices. However this is only a consequence of consumer- oriented, rather than spec-oriented design.
