The 1972 flank speed egress was from PIRAZ station rather than Yankee Station and the surface contacts causing the egress turned out to be RADAR phantoms (possibly a meteorological phenomena similar to the second 1964 Gulf of Tonkin incident) rather than real ships.Thewellman (talk) 17:12, 16 January 2014 (UTC)

Talk:Damgård–Jurik cryptosystem

message: It seems that Damgaard and Jurik have reinvented some known results in p-adics.
In particular the last step of the decryption requires to solve the equation
: (1+n)^x = 1+kn \pmod{n^{s+1}} 
for the unknown x. It is well known that in the p-adic ring \mathbb Z_n a logarithm can be defined as
: \log(1+kn) = \sum_{i=1}^{\infty} (-1)^{i+1}\frac{(kn)^i}{i}.
I.e. the function satisfies the equation 
: \log((1+kn)(1+mn)) = \log(1+kn)+\log(1+mn).
Moreover, \log(1+kn) \pmod{ n^{s+1}} can be evaluated in a finite number of steps, since the terms
(kn)^i/i \pmod{n^{s+1}} vanish when i is sufficiently large.

thread_title:  Decryption using p-adics 

message: Maybe, I'm missing something but this cryptosystem looks more complicated than necessary. 
The ciphertext is
:  c=g^m \cdot r^{n^s} \mod n^{s+1} .
Since every (invertible) element modulo ns+1 has an order that divides \lambda n^s
if follows that the order of r^{n^s}  divides \lambda. Hence \left(r^{n^s}\right)^{\lambda}\equiv 1\pmod{n^{s+1}} and thus
: c^\lambda \equiv g^{\lambda m}\pmod{n^{s+1}}.
Generally, \lambda is much shorter than d leading to faster decryption.
Taking logarithms from g^{\lambda m}  gives \lambda m \mod n^{s} and
hence we can derive m.

replies: text:  In step 4 of the key generation, it says that d could be \lambda. The reason why it may be advisible to choose d different from \lambda is, as far as I know, related to it's use for obtaining the corresponding threshold cryptosystem. Homomorphic threshold cryptosystems are for instance used for constructing electronic voting schemes.
Is there somewhere an implementation of this crypto-system ? Especially of the threshold version that allows self-tallying, dispute-free and have perfect ballot secrecy ? If none exist, I would like to discuss with someone more knowledgeable than I in the domain of cryptography on the feasibility of various voting software thanks to it. --Iv (talk) 23:42, 24 March 2010 (UTC)

Interesting argument. How do you reach the conclusion that having soldiers be able to more effectively assemble rifles or other weapons will save lives.  These aren't doctors.  Is the author only counting the lives of military personnel and not the civilians killed by these reassembled weapons?

replies: text: Yes, if all you have is a macroscopic description of the surfaces, you can predict the angle of reflection from a specular surface but not from a diffusing one. A diffuse surface is microscopically rough. A narrow beam of light striking the surface is reflected in a broad range of directions, with the exact angular distribution depending on the surface. If you reflected a single photon off of the surface, I believe you would find that its angle of reflection is random, with probability distribution matching the intensity distribution for the reflection of a beam of light.--Srleffler (talk) 05:26, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
