ISSN: 1948-1187 © 2011, Ewing Family Association. All rights reserved. From the Editor William E. Riddle, Journal Editor (+1 505.988.1092, Riddle at WmERiddle dot com) Progress is Our Most Important Product! This issue reflects many advances in the scope and focus of the Ewing Family Association's (EFA's) activities and services to its members: The EFA is now a IRS-approved Educational/Scientific Non-profit organization. How this was accomplished is discussed by Chancellor David Neal Ewing on pages 52-54. Its effect in terms of the tax-deductibility of contributions is explained by David on pages 54-55. A better understanding of Ewing roots in Scotland and Ireland is emerging. Partially this has to do with possible connections to 'across the pond' families such as the Orr Ewings; see Christian Orr Ewing's article (pages 3-7), the analysis of Orr Ewing-related results in the Ewing Surname Y-DNA Project (pages19-20), and the Board of Direction's decision to establish a Chiefship Committee, led by David Neal Ewing, to represent the Association's interests in upcoming Lord Lyon-led discussions of a Chief for Clan McEwen (pages 51-52). Attention to collateral families has increased significantly as reported by Jill (Ewing) Spitler, Membership Coordinator, on page 59 and as indicated by the contents of this issue. Profuse Thanks I have been quite remiss in not acknowledging the assistance of many 'helpers': Of course, the authors. I send them copies of my edited versions of their articles for review to make sure I haven't made any mistakes in editing their articles. They've always been careful in their reviews and quick in getting back to me. The Chancellor, the Officers and the Activity Coordinators have been similarly conscientious in reviewing my edits of their messages. Karen Avery, the EFA's Genealogist, carefully reviews next-to-final and final versions of the Ewing Digital Library and Information Exchange sections, making sure that the material is complete, accurate and understandable. David Neal Ewing, Administrator of the Ewing Surname Y-DNA Project, similarly helps assure the completeness, accuracy and understandability of genetic-genealogy material. Eva Ewing proof reads the final version to catch the typos and formatting errors that my tired eyes have missed and make sure that the material is readable. I wouldn't be able to get anywhere close to the Journal's very high level of excellence without their prompt, valuable and much appreciated help. Wm E.

  • The County Posted by Ons.Geography | April 26, 2016
    High quality statistics, analysis and advice to help Britain make better decisions. Search The County Posted by ons.geography | April 26, 2016 Of all the many geographies in the United Kingdom, this one is probably calculated to cause the most confusion. But why should that be? After all, everyone knows what a county is and which county (if any) they live in, don’t they? Well, that depends entirely on which particular type of county you’re talking about. Over the years, counties have (and still do) come in many flavours: administrative counties, ancient counties, ceremonial counties, counties for lieutenancy purposes, counties proper, geographical counties, historic counties, metropolitan counties, non-metropolitan counties, postal counties, preserved counties, registration counties, traditional counties, and probably more. When someone says ‘county’, which of these do they mean? Leaving aside postal county, which is no longer required by Royal Mail for the delivery of mail, there are three types of county which are most likely to be used. County for administrative purposes – in England only, e.g. Hampshire (excluding Southampton and Portsmouth unitary authorities) County for lieutenancy purposes – ceremonial county in England, e.g. Hampshire (including Southampton and Portsmouth unitary authorities); preserved county in Wales, e.g. Gwent; lieutenancy area in Scotland, e.g. Banffshire. County for historic, traditional or cultural purposes – e.g. Middlesex, Yorkshire (as a single entity), Glamorgan, Peeblesshire. The geography of ONS statistics has dealt primarily with modern and current administrative areas, as these are the areas with the up-to-date responsibility for financial and other resources in the divisions of the country – so in terms of top tier administrative areas, statistics are generally allocated to (non-metropolitan) counties and to unitary authorities.

  • Aubrey's Paper on the Wheel Cipher
    Aubrey 1 Aubrey Dr. Bruff Math 115F 2 November 2010 The Wheel Cipher One of the most secure, yet simple enciphering devices in the history of cryptography is the Wheel Cipher, also known as the Jefferson disk or the Bazeries cylinder. This instrument was invented by Thomas Jefferson in the late 18 th century, and was later independently reinvented by Commandant Etienne Bazeries one hundred years later. The Jefferson disk provided unrivaled security during the time of its birth and rebirth, thus making it effective for encrypting confidential military and diplomatic communication. In addition, the decryption of a message enciphered using the Jefferson disk is very difficult and relies on having certain information. The Jefferson disk cipher is remarkable, because of its high level of security, relative simplicity, and longevity. Thomas Jefferson first designed the Jefferson disk cipher in 1795 (Reuvers and Simons). Jefferson's plans outline the construction and use of the device. The device is constructed by cutting wooden disks of equal diameter. The next step is to divide the edge of each disk into 26 equal sections and carve a different letter into each section in a random order. Each disk should be given a number, so that the different orders of the disks can be recorded. This process is repeated until the desired number of disks has been reached. The advantage of having more disks is that the number of possible combinations greatly increases with each additional disk. This makes the cipher less susceptible to brute force attacks. Jefferson's model used 36 disks. Aubrey 2 Finally, a hole is carved through the center of each disk so that each is free to rotate along an axle.

Kerberos B. SESAME C. KryptoKnight D. NetSP Correct Answer: A Section: Access Control Explanation Explanation/Reference: Kerberos is a trusted, third party authentication protocol that was developed under Project Athena at MIT. Kerberos is a network authentication protocol. It is designed to provide strong authentication for client/server applications by using secret-key cryptography. A free implementation of this protocol is available from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Kerberos is available in many commercial products as well. The Internet is an insecure place. Many of the protocols used in the Internet do not provide any security. Tools to "sniff" passwords off of the network are in common use by systems crackers. Thus, applications which send an unencrypted password over the network are extremely vulnerable. Worse yet, other client/ server applications rely on the client program to be "honest" about the identity of the user who is using it. Other applications rely on the client to restrict its activities to those which it is allowed to do, with no other enforcement by the server. Some sites attempt to use firewalls to solve their network security problems.

    a) The decoding of the Zimmerman Telegraph was a principal factor in getting the US to enter World War I in 1917. The telegraph was sent from Arthur Zimmerman, a German foreign secretary, to a German amBassador in Mexico. In the coded message (see image), a proposal was made that Mexico declare war against the US in exchange for financial Benefits and lost territory. The British then intercepted the message, eventually decoding and providing its contents to President Woodrow Wilson. ChecK out the decoded Zimmerman Telegraph next. b) In 1977, Ronald L. Rivest, Adi Shamir and Leonard M. Adleman published details of their RSA algorithm and the patent was issued in 1983. It became the key security technology that would maKe eCommerce possible. c) DES was the de-facto encryption algorithm for the US government for over 25 years. The encryption algorithm was adopted By the US government (NIST) in 1977 (as FIPS PUB 46). The algorithm was suBmitted By IBM and is attriButed to the work of Horst Feistel. d) One of the Best-known electro-mechanical encryption machines is the German Enigma. It was heavily used in WW II, as the Germans improved on the weaKness of poor message secrecy in the WWI Zimmerman incident. The machine has 3x10114 possible combinations. The US Navy captured the Enigma machine and several codeBooKs on the German U-505 suBmarine in 1944, which lead to the intelligence that helped end the war early. e) In GreeK, Stegonos means “concealed”, and graphei means “writing” in GreeK. This concealed writing, can Be as simple as hiding text underneath another oBject, But in today’s technology this could mean hiding information within encrypted data.
