Alberta Securities Commission Page 1 of 2 Reporting Issuer List - Cover Page Alberta Securities Commission Page 1 of 2 Reporting Issuer List - Cover Page Reporting Issuers Default When a reporting issuer is noted in default, standardized codes (a number and, if applicable a letter, described in the legend below) will be appear in the column 'Nature of Default'. Every effort is made to ensure the accuracy of this list. A reporting issuer that does not appear on this list or that has inappropriately been noted in default should contact the Alberta Securities Commission (ASC) promptly. A reporting issuer’s management or insiders may be subject to a Management Cease Trade Order, but that order will NOT be shown on the list. Legend 1. The reporting issuer has failed to file the following continuous disclosure document prescribed by Alberta securities laws: (a) annual financial statements; (b) an interim financial report; (c) an annual or interim management's discussion and analysis (MD&A) or an annual or interim management report of fund performance (MRFP); (d) an annual information form; (AIF); (e) a certification of annual or interim filings under National Instrument 52-109 Certification of Disclosure in Issuers' Annual and Interim Filings (NI 52-109); (f) proxy materials or a required information circular; (g) an issuer profile supplement on the System for Electronic Disclosure By Insiders (SEDI); (h) a material change report; (i) a written update as required after filing a confidential report of a material change; (j) a business acquisition report; (k) the annual oil and gas disclosure prescribed by National Instrument 51-101 Standards of Disclosure for Oil and Gas Activities (NI 51-101) or a technical report for a mineral project required under National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (NI 43-101); (l) a mandatory news release; (m) corporate governance disclosure as required by National Instrument 58-101 Disclosure of Corporate Governance Practices; (n) audit committee disclosure as required by National Instrument 52-110 Audit Committees; or (o) disclosure in a reporting issuer's MD&A relating to disclosure controls and procedures and/or internal control over financial reporting and their effectiveness that is referred to in a certificate filed under NI 52- 109. 2. The reporting issuer's continuous disclosure does not comply with Alberta securities laws because: (a) financial statements of the reporting issuer, or the auditor’s report accompanying the financial statements, do not comply with the requirements of National Instrument 51-102 Continuous Disclosure Obligations (NI 51-102), National Instrument 81-106 Investment Fund Continuous Disclosure (NI 81-106) or National Instrument 52-107 Acceptable Accounting Principles and Auditing Standards; (b) the reporting issuer has acknowledged that its financial statements, or the auditor’s report accompanying the financial statements, may no longer be relied upon; Please be advised that pursuant to the Securities Amendment Act, 2006, the ASC no longer issues certificates of no default. Individuals seeking information relating to an issuer's status in that regard may wish to refer to this reporting issuer list. Every effort is made to ensure the accuracy of information included in the reporting issuers’ list. A reporting issuer that does not appear on this list or that has inappropriately been noted in default should contact the ASC promptly. If appropriate, the list will be revised as necessary. Alberta Securities Commission Page 2 of 2 Reporting Issuer List - Cover Page (c) the reporting issuer's AIF, MD&A, MRFP, information circular, or a business acquisition report does not contain information for each of the items required by NI 51-102 or NI 81-106; or (d) the reporting issuer's technical disclosure or other reports do not comply with the disclosure requirements of NI 43-101 or NI 51-101; 3. The reporting issuer has failed to pay a fee required by Alberta securities laws. 4. The reporting issuer has failed to comply with a requirement related to continuous disclosure not referred to in 1 to 3, above. Cease Trade Order If a reporting issuer is subject to a cease trade order issued by the ASC or the Executive Director under section 33.1 of the Securities Act (Alberta) (Act) or by the ASC under section 198(1) or (2) of the Act, the existence of that order will be disclosed beside the name of the reporting issuer as “ASC CTO”. If a reporting issuer is subject to a cease trade order issued by another securities regulatory authority in Canada that applies in Alberta as a result of section 198.1 of the Act, and prohibits all trading of the securities of that issuer, the existence of that order will be disclosed beside the name of the reporting issuer as “Reciprocal CTO”. Securities that are subject to an ASC CTO or a Reciprocal CTO cannot be traded in Alberta. To determine if a person or company is the subject of a management cease trade order issued by the ASC, please refer to the “Proceedings, Decisions & Orders – Issuers” section on the ASC website (at www.albertasecurities.com). Additional information may be obtained by: - reviewing the filings made by the reporting issuer on SEDAR (at www.sedar.com); - contacting the reporting issuer directly; - reviewing the Commission website; or - reviewing the national cease trade order database located on the CSA website (at www.csa-acvm.ca). Please be advised that pursuant to the Securities Amendment Act, 2006, the ASC no longer issues certificates of no default. Individuals seeking information relating to an issuer's status in that regard may wish to refer to this reporting issuer list. Every effort is made to ensure the accuracy of information included in the reporting issuers’ list. A reporting issuer that does not appear on this list or that has inappropriately been noted in default should contact the ASC promptly. If appropriate, the list will be revised as necessary.

TO MY WIFE LOIS Prologue For years I had wondered what the last day would be like. In January 1976 after two decades in the top echelons of the British Security Service, MI5, it was time to rejoin the real world. I emerged for the final time from Euston Road tube station. The winter sun shone brightly as I made my way down Gower Street toward Trafalgar Square. Fifty yards on I turned into the unmarked entrance to an anonymous office block. Tucked between an art college and a hospital stood the unlikely headquarters of British Counterespionage. I showed my pass to the policeman standing discreetly in the reception alcove and took one of the specially programmed lifts which carry senior officers to the sixth-floor inner sanctum. I walked silently down the corridor to my room next to the Director-General's suite. The offices were quiet. Far below I could hear the rumble of tube trains carrying commuters to the West End. I unlocked my door. In front of me stood the essential tools of the intelligence officer’s trade - a desk, two telephones, one scrambled for outside calls, and to one side a large green metal safe with an oversized combination lock on the front.

  • A Practical Implementation of a One-Time Pad Cryptosystem
    Jeff Connelly CPE 456 June 11, 2008 A Practical Implementation of a One-time Pad Cryptosystem 0.1 Abstract How to securely transmit messages between two people has been a problem for centuries. The first ciphers of antiquity used laughably short keys and insecure algorithms easily broken with today’s computational power. This pattern has repeated throughout history, until the invention of the one-time pad in 1917, the world’s first provably unbreakable cryptosystem. However, the public generally does not use the one-time pad for encrypting their communication, despite the assurance of confidentiality, because of practical reasons. This paper presents an implementation of a practical one-time pad cryptosystem for use between two trusted individuals, that have met previously but wish to securely communicate over email after their departure. The system includes the generation of a one-time pad using a custom-built hardware TRNG as well as software to easily send and receive encrypted messages over email. This implementation combines guaranteed confidentiality with practicality. All of the work discussed here is available at http://imotp.sourceforge.net/. 1 Contents 0.1 Abstract.......................................... 1 1 Introduction 3 2 Implementation 3 2.1 RelatedWork....................................... 3 2.2 Description ........................................ 3 3 Generating Randomness 4 3.1 Inadequacy of Pseudo-random Number Generation . 4 3.2 TrulyRandomData .................................... 5 4 Software 6 4.1 Acquiring Audio . 6 4.1.1 Interference..................................... 6 4.2 MeasuringEntropy................................... 6 4.3 EntropyExtraction................................ ..... 7 4.3.1 De-skewing ..................................... 7 4.3.2 Mixing........................................ 7 5 Exchanging Pads 8 5.1 Merkle Channels . 8 5.2 Local Pad Security .

  • Secure Communications One Time Pad Cipher
    Cipher Machines & Cryptology Ed. 7.4 – Jan 22, 2016 © 2009 - 2016 D. Rijmenants http://users.telenet.be/d.rijmenants THE COMPLETE GUIDE TO SECURE COMMUNICATIONS WITH THE ONE TIME PAD CIPHER DIRK RIJMENANTS Abstract : This paper provides standard instructions on how to protect short text messages with one-time pad encryption. The encryption is performed with nothing more than a pencil and paper, but provides absolute message security. If properly applied, it is mathematically impossible for any eavesdropper to decrypt or break the message without the proper key. Keywords : cryptography, one-time pad, encryption, message security, conversion table, steganography, codebook, covert communications, Morse cut numbers. 1 Contents 1. Introduction………………………………. 2 2. The One-time Pad………………………. 3 3. Message Preparation…………………… 4 4. Encryption………………………………... 5 5. Decryption………………………………... 6 6. The Optional Codebook………………… 7 7. Security Rules and Advice……………… 8 8. Is One-time Pad Really Unbreakable…. 16 9. Legal Issues and Personal Security…... 18 10. Appendices………………………………. 19 1. Introduction One-time pad encryption is a basic yet solid method to protect short text messages. This paper explains how to use one-time pads, how to set up secure one-time pad communications and how to deal with its various security issues. Working with one-time pads is easy to learn. The system is transparent and you do not need a computer, special equipment or any knowledge about cryptographic techniques or mathematics. One-time pad encryption is an equation with two unknowns, which is mathematically unsolvable. The system therefore provides truly unbreakable encryption when properly used. It will never be possible to decipher one-time pad encrypted data without having the proper key, regardless any existing or future cryptanalytic attack or technology, infinite computational power or infinite time.

Despite its reputation for technocracy, until relatively late in the war the design and construction of technology by the agency was conducted in an ad hoc and piecemeal fashion to address specific problems.

  • Uk/Us Communications Security Conference 1953
    Copy No. J. LCS(53)/S/Report (Final Draft). UK/US COMMUNICATIONS SECURITY CONFERENCE 1953 REPORT OF THE SECURITY SUB-C01v!MITTE"E to the "EXECUTIVE COlVIMITTT!.'E 1. The Security Sub-Committee has ma.de security assessments of U.K. and U.S. systems which are attached at Appendix A. It should be noted that the phrase "further study required" as applied. to an equipment still under development means tb.at information is insufficient fqr a final assessment but that continued development is justified. 2. Recommendations on transmission security are attached at Appendix B, 3. An agreed method of expressing security assessments is attached at Appendix C, togetHer with proposals for the information which should be provided by users in stating their requirements from the security point of viev~ Because of the nature of the discussion in this pa.per the Security Sub-Committee recommends that only the following statement be.included in the main report of the Conference: "During the Conference the u.K. and u.s: security advisers prepared an agreed method for the technical stat~ment of security assessments. 11 4. In addition the Security Committee has the following general recommendations to make:- a. A high priority should be given to a thor~ugh investigation of: (1) the properties of quantised speech; (2) the practicability of intercepting, recording and countii:ig the output of many of the speech equipments under consideration. b. · Steps shoul~ be taken to replace as soon as possible equipments employing an additive system in .such r5.-way that there is a "i significant danger of producing a readable depth of two.

  • One-Time Pad History
    One-Time Pad A one-time pad is a form of encryption that is difficult to decipher or crack if one is not the intended recipient. If done correctly, the strength of encryption of plaintext can almost be impossible to break in a useful timeframe. The system takes each character from plaintext and uses modular addition with a character from a pad or secret key of the same length of the plaintext to create ciphertext. If the key used to create the ciphertext is really random, as large or larger than the plaintext, never reused in any form, and kept truly secret, the ciphertext is unable to be decrypted in a usable timeframe. Although one-time pads are theoretically sound, there have been a number of practical implementation issues keeping the pads from seeing widespread use. When was the One-Time Pad Discovered? The one-time pad has been invented, an re-invented several times over the years. The technique was first described in 1882 by Frank Miller, and later “re-discovered in 1917” with a successful patent claim made a few years later. The current one-time pad concept is based on the Vernam cipher created by Gilbert Vernam and other co-workers. His cipher combined a message with a key that was read from a punch tape. In the original form of the cipher, the encoded messages could eventually be cracked since the key tape was setup on a loop that resulted in the key being reused making the cipher open to cryptanalysis. The “one-time” aspect of the cipher came into play a bit later when Joseph Mauborgne discovered the fact that if they key tape was fully random, cryptanalysis would be difficult if not impossible.
