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.

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...

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...

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...
