NSA Petition 8.2.13 August 2, 2013 General Keith B. Alexander Director, National Security Agency 9800 Savage Road Fort Meade, MD 20755 Secretary Chuck Hagel Department of Defense 1400 Defense Pentagon Washington, DC 20301 Re: Petition for NSA to Conduct a Public Rulemaking on its Monitoring and Collection of Communications Traffic within the United States Dear General Alexander and Secretary Hagel: The undersigned individuals and organizations, concerned about the rule of law and the protection of Constitutional freedoms, hereby petition the National Security Agency to conduct a public rulemaking on the agency's monitoring and collection of communications traffic within the United States. 5 U.S.C. § 553(e). We believe that the NSA’s collection of domestic communications contravenes the First and Fourth Amendments to the United States Constitution, and violates several federal privacy laws, including the Privacy Act of 1974, and the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978 as amended. The NSA’s collection of solely domestic communications, which has been acknowledged by the President, the Director of National Intelligence, and the Chair and Ranking Member of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, also constitutes a legislative rule that “substantively affects the public to a degree sufficient to implicate the policy interests animating notice-and- comment rulemaking” under the Administrative Procedure Act. EPIC v. DHS, 653 F.3d 1, 6 (D.C. Cir. 2011). Accordingly, the NSA's collection of domestic communications, absent the opportunity for public comment, is unlawful. We hereby petition the National Security Agency, a component of the Department of Defense, for relief. We ask the NSA to immediately suspend collection of solely domestic communications pending the completion of a public rulemaking as required by law. We intend to renew our request each week until we receive your response. Sincerely, Marc Rotenberg Dr. Alessandro Acquisti James Bamford Grayson Barber Professor Ann Bartow EPIC Petition 1 August 2, 2013 to National Security Agency NSA Surveillance of Domestic Communications Professor Colin Bennett Professor Christine Borgman Professor Julie E. Cohen Dr. Danah Boyd Simon Davies Dr. Whitfield Diffie Dr. Cynthia Dwork Professor David Farber Addison Fischer Professor David Flaherty Professor Michael Froomkin Professor Urs Gasser Deborah Hurley Professor Jerry Kang Sheila Kaplan Professor Ian Kerr Rebecca MacKinnon Mary Minow Dr. Pablo Molina Dr. Peter G.

  • The Mathematics of the RSA Public-Key Cryptosystem Burt Kaliski RSA Laboratories
    The Mathematics of the RSA Public-Key Cryptosystem Burt Kaliski RSA Laboratories ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Dr Burt Kaliski is a computer scientist whose involvement with the security industry has been through the company that Ronald Rivest, Adi Shamir and Leonard Adleman started in 1982 to commercialize the RSA encryption algorithm that they had invented. At the time, Kaliski had just started his undergraduate degree at MIT. Professor Rivest was the advisor of his bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral theses, all of which were about cryptography. When Kaliski finished his graduate work, Rivest asked him to consider joining the company, then called RSA Data Security. In 1989, he became employed as the company’s first full-time scientist. He is currently chief scientist at RSA Laboratories and vice president of research for RSA Security. Introduction Number theory may be one of the “purest” branches of mathematics, but it has turned out to be one of the most useful when it comes to computer security. For instance, number theory helps to protect sensitive data such as credit card numbers when you shop online. This is the result of some remarkable mathematics research from the 1970s that is now being applied worldwide. Sensitive data exchanged between a user and a Web site needs to be encrypted to prevent it from being disclosed to or modified by unauthorized parties. The encryption must be done in such a way that decryption is only possible with knowledge of a secret decryption key. The decryption key should only be known by authorized parties. In traditional cryptography, such as was available prior to the 1970s, the encryption and decryption operations are performed with the same key.

    Noname manuscript No. (will be inserted by the editor) Turing Award elites revisited: patterns of productivity, collaboration, authorship and impact Yinyu Jin1 · Sha Yuan1∗ · Zhou Shao2, 4 · Wendy Hall3 · Jie Tang4 Received: date / Accepted: date Abstract The Turing Award is recognized as the most influential and presti- gious award in the field of computer science(CS). With the rise of the science of science (SciSci), a large amount of bibliographic data has been analyzed in an attempt to understand the hidden mechanism of scientific evolution. These include the analysis of the Nobel Prize, including physics, chemistry, medicine, etc. In this article, we extract and analyze the data of 72 Turing Award lau- reates from the complete bibliographic data, fill the gap in the lack of Turing Award analysis, and discover the development characteristics of computer sci- ence as an independent discipline. First, we show most Turing Award laureates have long-term and high-quality educational backgrounds, and more than 61% of them have a degree in mathematics, which indicates that mathematics has played a significant role in the development of computer science. Secondly, the data shows that not all scholars have high productivity and high h-index; that is, the number of publications and h-index is not the leading indicator for evaluating the Turing Award. Third, the average age of awardees has increased from 40 to around 70 in recent years. This may be because new breakthroughs take longer, and some new technologies need time to prove their influence. Besides, we have also found that in the past ten years, international collabo- ration has experienced explosive growth, showing a new paradigm in the form of collaboration.
