Talk:Hursley

message: Charles Simeon "died on 29 May 1867 in Hursley, Hampshire, after a long illness." He had a short but very successful career in Christchurch, New Zealand, and I have managed to pull a lot of biographical notes together that covers that time. I have found very little about him after he left New Zealand in 1855. I'm guessing that he wouldn't just have died in Hursley, but that he also resided there. Would one of the locals perhaps be so good to see whether local sources could be accessed, or even try and locate (and photograph) a grave stone? Any help greatly appreciated.

-Removed the nonsense about PREW, which is an arrangement of jammers, using synthetic aperture radar (the reference provided did not mention SAR once). The only link between the two is an application by General Dynamics to the PREW concept describing the use of a SAR for ground imaging.
-Removed the few lines about the Cognitive Jammer which, as of 2012, remains a vague appeal by an US governmental institution to the electronics industry to extremely generally inquire about what is currently feasible in the proportion of processing realized by software only. Despite statistically selecting frequency bands to jam, it uses no fundamentally new techniques and certainly has no reason to be a separate part of the article.82.249.48.246 (talk) 18:47, 25 June 2012 (UTC)

As far as I can see the article is correct in this way. Also see Van Rij mentioned in the article, with a capital V. If he were referred to by his complete name it would read Marnix van Rij, without the capital V.

Talk:Residual block termination

message: I don't understand this, and I've been a professional cryptologist in my time.  I think what's being described is something like this:
P = P_0 | P_1 | P_{n-1} | P_n
where P_0, P_1, P_{n-1} are the block size in length, and P_n is short
* C_0 = E_k(IV XOR P_0)
* C_i+1 = E_k(C_i XOR P_i+1) where i = 0 .. n-2
* C_n = P_n XOR truncate(|P_n|, E_k(C_{n-1}))
ie a weird mixture of CBC and CFB, but the wording is too vague for me to be sure, can anyone confirm?
Does this mode have a proof of security?  It seems like it should be possible to provide one at least for chosen-plaintext attacks, so long as IVs are randomly generated after the entire plaintext is known, but really it's time CBC and variants were put out to pasture since they have basically no advantages over CTR mode.
:I'd say you understood the algorithm description correctly. I'd also say it's secure against CPA: Final block of CBC mode with a random IV behaves like a PRF, and it gets transformed into another pseudo-random block through the last encryption, which is used as a pseudo-random key stream for the remaining bytes.
:Advantages of CBC over CTR? Think of group communication with shared keys. You don't want to reuse nonces. (You may use a randomized variant of CTR mode taking a random IV, though.) Also think of disk encryption applications with static IVs. (Well, there's better modes for that now, admitted.)

Talk:Siphon

message: I'm confused why gravity alone couldn't just do the siphon effect.  Let's think about it in two forms: We have a bowl, and we have a tube.  We put water in each. The bowl is the control specimen. The tube is the experiment specimen.  The shape of the water is different: gravity pulls the water down equally and creates a flat top of water in the bowl.  If you tilt the bowl, the water stays flat on top, gravity pulling it down across the surface.  It's normal behavior.  Now imagine the water inside this tube. Luckily, it is in a U shape, so the water moved through the tube and forms a flat top... just like the bowl, just like gravity should.  Now, if the water is not level, it moves to become level like normal:  Here the water tries to make it's flat top due to gravity but oh no! at this point in time it is not equal, so just like the bowl, the water moves.  The water is moving away from one end of the tube.... the air rushes in. The siphon is live.  All thanks to gravity!  BTW Pascal's bowl is just sitting there in another liquid, so gravity is just holding the flat top in the bowl. Pascal can use the tube shape, but it's still gravity flattening out the water due to gravity.  Got it?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.162.28.226 (talk) 02:49, 28 February 2023 (UTC)
