Dear Colleagues:

You are invited to submit a draft paper and/or a proposal to organize
a session/workshop. All accepted papers will be published in the
respective conference proceedings. The Academic Co-sponsors of
WORLDCOMP'07 include: MIT Media Lab, MIT; Harvard University's
Statistical Genomics and Computational Biology Lab; Texas Advanced
Computing Center, The University of Texas at Austin; Statistical and
Computational Intelligence Lab of Purdue University; and University of
Iowa's Medical Imaging HPC Lab. A more complete list of sponsors can
be found below.

is this a good way to generate a nonce?

generate a number using VB rng, xor with date and time then run it through a
secure rng?

I'm crossposting this to sci.crypt, where a post with this subject line
has led to a fairly long thread. Maybe someone there - including Mr.
St. Denis himself - can enlighten us to what has really happened. He
has been the target of forgery attacks before (for that matter, so have
I on one occasion) and so there can be an explanation for this.

I am looking for a free encryption library that I can use in a
cross-platform commercial product (first for Windows, then Mac and
Linux).

A quick search revealed two immediate candidates: LibTomCrypt (public
domain) and Libgcrypt (LGPL). Both are open source:

http://libtomcrypt.com/features.html

http://directory.fsf.org/security/libgcrypt.html

Which one, in your experience, would be more suitable for someone who
has never used a crypt libray before? And why?

(I have started reading the "Handbook of Applied Cryptography" by A.
Menezes et. al but I have don't intend to re-invent the wheel...)

Which one is better documented (for the API user) in your opinion?
Which one has less cross-platform issues?
Which one has less bugs?
Which one is more widely used?
Which one performs better (speed)?
Do they differ in level of security?
Are there any other issues/criteria that I overlooked?

As a way to bury the hatchet and do something nice I'm offering a free
printed copy of the LTC manual [signed] to the first 5 (to celebrate
the # of years the project has been going) people to send me an email
with a short snippet of their interest in the LT projects [will remain
private if desired].

For those who haven't been to my website, I'm offering printed copies
of the LTC manual for sale as a way to fund some of the projects I do.
The source of the manual will remain PUBLIC DOMAIN as part of the
archive. The printing is mostly to provide nice printed manuals for
those that work with the library and to raise funds. Since attending
conferences [and providing stipends] and buying hardware costs money it
would be nice if I wasn't fronting all of the costs. I also plan on
bringing copies to the conferences I attend next year as freebies.

I'm waiting on the first draft print [from lulu.com] to examine the
quality of the process. I'm sure it's going to be fine (they're in
business for a reason I imagine). At which point I will edit, refine
and add to the manual for the first printing.

Hi,

I have a question about hardware encryption accelrators: If these
hardware devices can serve to significanlty accelerate the encryption
of data, does it also follow that such devices can be used to more
quickly defeat encryption schemes? In other words: When I implement an
encryption system do I need to take the existence of these devices into
account? Does employing one remove any advantage of any attacker who
also may have one?

Thanks

Pass butt thanks anyway.

I hear wheels, a great horse, from Troy approaches......

Where on the web can one find HEX calculators capable of +,-,XOR,AND ...
with bitfields up to "Whirlpool" size?

Where can I find SHA-1 code for an IBM mainframe (System/370, System/z
etc.).
