A Relational Model of Data for Large Shared Data Banks
E. F. Codd's seminal paper that went from the mathematics of relational theory, to the design of a means to store data, and thus propelled relational databases as a storage mechanism.
Comparing Performance of Solid State Devices and Mechanic...
from macro in Research, Internet & Technology
Abstract—In terms of performance, solid state devices promise to be superior technology to mechanical disks. This study / investigates performance of several up-to-date high-end consumer and enterprise Flash solid state devices (SSDs) and relates their performance to that of mechanical disks.

Many people telework (also known as telecommuting), which is the ability for an organization’s employees and contractors to conduct work from locations other than the organization’s facilities. Teleworkers use various devices, such as desktop and laptop computers, cell phones, and personal digita...

Unraveling A Well Woven Solo
from macro
I have always been fascinated by George Harrison’s guitar work, his precision, his taste, his ability to play exactly the right part to complement a song. And it is George’s “other” contribution to A Hard Day’s Night (beyond the famous opening chord) that continues to puzzle me. That great solo t...
Mathematics, Physics and "A Hard Day’s Night"
from macro
In this article we shall use mathematics and the physics of sound to unravel one of the mysteries of rock ’n’ roll – how did the Beatles play the opening chord of "A Hard Day’s Night?" The song may never sound the same to you again.
Reconsidering Physical Key Secrecy: Teleduplication via O...
from macro
The access control provided by a physical lock is based on the assumption that the information content of the corresponding key is private — that duplication should require either possession of the key or a priori knowledge of how it was cut. However, the eve rincreasing capabilities and prevalen...
Attacking and defending the McEliece cryptosystem
from macro in School Work
This paper presents several improvements to Stern's attack on the McEliece cryptosystem and achieves results considerably better than Canteaut et al. This paper shows that the system with the originally proposed parameters can be broken in just 1400 days by a single 2.4GHz Core 2 Quad CPU, or 7 d...

Skein is a new family of cryptographic hash functions. Its design combines speed, security, simplicity, and a great deal of flexibility in a modular package that is easy to analyze.
When Good Instructions Go Bad: Generalizing Return-Orient...
from macro
This paper reconsiders the threat posed by Shacham’s “return-oriented programming”—a technique by which W+X-style hardware protections are evaded via carefully crafted stack frames that divert control flow into the middle of existing variable-length x86 instructions—creating short new instruction...
The Geometry of Innocent Flesh on the Bone: Return-into-l...
from macro
We present new techniques that allow a return-into-libc attack to be mounted on x86 executables that calls no functions at all. Our attack combines a large number of short instruction / sequences to build gadgets that allow arbitrary computation. We show how to discover such instruction sequences ...
Catalan's Conjecture: Another Old Diophantine Problem Solved
from macro in School Work
Catalan's Conjecture predicts that 8 and 9 are the only consecutive perfect powers among positive integers. The conjecture, which dates back to 1844, was recently proven by the Swiss mathematician Preda Mihailescu. A deep theorem about cyclotomic elds plays a crucial role in his proof. Like Ferm...
Designing and implementing malicious hardware
from macro in School Work
Hidden malicious circuits provide an attacker with a stealthy attack vector. As they occupy a layer below the entire software stack, malicious circuits can bypass traditional defensive techniques. Yet current work on trojan circuits considers only simple attacks against the hardware itself, and s...
