replies: text: Do you have this book? It may say something about either Gray, though Google doesn't give me a good enough view to be sure. This book says that Samuel David was also known as Dolly Gray according to the snippet I see in the search. There also seems to have been a popular song of the Boer War called Goodbye Dolly Gray. Ucucha (talk) 10:02, 24 August 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: If I'm reading those excerpts correctly, it would seem that Sam's nickname "Dolly" was somehow directly influenced by the fact that the earlier pitcher, William, was also nicknamed Dolly. That was quite common during that era, and thus was likely more an invention of sportswriters rather than an organic nickname. So, if that's the case, it would appear that "Goodbye, Dolly Gray" may have been the inspiration for both nicknames, as the other Dolly's page has a citation for that being the source for his. -Dewelar (talk) 14:00, 24 August 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Carlo Petrini

message: I just wanted to explain why I removed the final sentence about Petrini on the pope and the environment. To me, it seemed out of place as the conclusion of a very brief biographical summary and I notice it has attracted a disproportionate amount of editorial attention. A longer article on Italian WP has no mention of the question. However, I have been able to find the interview where Petrini discusses the pope's views on ecology, saying that although he's an agnostic he does appreciate and support Ratzinger's position. So the statement I removed was basically correct but, I think, misleading as the conclusion of this stub-like page. On the other hand, the information could certainly find space within a more extended article containing separate sections dedicated to different aspects of Petrini's thought.MistyMorn (talk) 17:29, 18 May 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Distinguishing attack

message: This article currently (february 2008) needs to be reworked and clarified but I am just a "crypto systems and protocol guy" and not a cryptanalyst so I am not a 100% sure that I know what a distinguishing attack is. 
But in case I have understood correctly, here are some stuff that I then think this article perhaps should mention:
# If you can study/analyse the output of a cipher and see that it is not completely random (has some bias of any kind) then you have done a distinguishing attack. That is, if you can tell the output apart from random white noise. One example is that if double occurrence of symbols (like "AA" or "tt") comes more often or less often in the ciphertext than it should in random data then you can distinguish the ciphertext from random data.
# A more advanced distinguishing attack is if you can look at the output of the cipher and tell which cipher was used. For instance, a certain frequency of double symbols means that it is likely that the cipher RC4 was used.
Thus, a distinguishing attack doesn't really break the cipher. But finding any regularities is usually a bad sign which might indicate weaknesses in the cipher. And finding out which cipher was used is even worse since then one can use knowledge of that specific cipher to do other attacks.
Thus, if a distinguisher (a bias) is found for a cipher it is usually considered a bad cipher and thus considered "broken".
