message: Are you sure about the kanji spelling for Yamada Isamu?David.Monniaux 17:56, 4 Apr 2004 (UTC)
thread_title: spelling

message: In the article, it said that the sexual harassment charges against Yokoyama was brought forth in 2000, after which he resigned and was replaced by Fusae Ohta.  However, the infobox at the bottom said he was  governor to December 1999, which would have made him resign before any sexual harassment charges in 2000, not after.  Other sources I've checked seem to confirm the December 1999 resignation, so is the date of the sexual harassment charges correct?  (I would surmise that they were the cause of the resignation). --Canuckguy (talk) 03:53, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Trapdoor function

message: Hey all, "discrete log" and "prime factorization" are not known to be trapdoor functions, and probably aren't.  There is no known way to efficiently compute discrete logs, and there is no (known) single "trapdoor" which will help you factor integers.
A candidate example of a trapdoor function (though "permutation" is more accurate than "function") is RSA, where (n,e) allows one to compute the function f(x)=x^e mod n, and the trapdoor is d = e^{-1} mod phi(n) which allows one to compute f^{-1}(y) = y^d mod n.
Another candidate trapdoor permutation is squaring mod n, taken over the domain of quadratic residues mod n, where n is a Blum integer (i.e., the product of two primes that are both 3 mod 4).  The public information is simply n, which allows one to compute f(x) = x^2 mod n.  The secret information is the factorization of n, which can be used to find all four square roots of any y mod n.  Exactly one of these square roots is itself a square, and this can also be found using the factorization of n.
These two are really the best-known and only tested candidate trapdoor permutations of which I'm aware.

thread_title:  Definition? 

message: The article states "However, the discrete logarithm problem can be used as the basis for a trapdoor when the related problems called the computational Diffie-Hellman problem (CDH) and/or its decisional variant are used." I am not aware of any trapdoor permutation that can be constructed using CDH. Of course, one can use it to construct the DH encryption scheme, but that is not a trapdoor permutation (technically, the difference is that an encryption scheme may be randomized while a trapdoor permutation must be deterministic).

thread_title:  Diffie-Hellman problem does not give rise to trapdoor permutation 

message: Hi.  The article seems to my far-from-expert reading to imply (state?) that Elliptic Curve 'crypto stuff' isn't a 'proper' trapdoor function (because something about discrete logarithms).   That's a wishy-washy sentence because it's not clear to me.  I'm confused because many sites refer (improperly?) to ECC implementing a trapdoor function, and my intuitive (but wrong?) sense that that must be true, unless 'trapdoor function' has a more esoteric definition than is 'commonly understood' -- in which case this article needs to explain that distinction more simply and clearly.

Talk:542

message: Note: while Geoffrey of Monmouth states Arthur died this year is not historical fact. From the few historical notices for Britain that have survived, it is clear he died decades before: Gildas, who wrote at this time, clearly states that the Battle of Mons Badonicus was 44 years before. While some scholars follow Bede & read this passage as dating this battle 44 years after the arrival of the Anglo Saxons, it would force Arthur's flourit to an even earlier date.
Also, Geoffrey's historical reliability is frequently called into question. While I personally believe he based his work on British traditions of his age, even to accept this is to say he was reproducing with mistakes an unreliable source. 
In other words, this date does not belong here as historical fact. -- llywrch 19:09, 4 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Talk:Pocket gopher

message: To anybody not clear on the concept, the WP standard for mammals is to use lowercase for families and uppercase for species. Stan 21:03, 4 Apr 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: Two interesting observations from catching a gopher and keeping it in a dirt-filled aquarium for a few weeks:  (a) The gopher did not require water, deriving all its moisture needs from the vegetation I supplied.  (b) When closing up its hole, the gopher would push an "armload" of dirt into the mouth of the hole.  The second, and up to 10 subsequent loads, were tamped in place by the gopher's nose and forepaws, with an action reminiscent of a woodpecker, and violent enough to shake the entire aquarium.  Apparently instinct tells the gopher that he has to plug his tunnel solidly, to protect against predators that might be able to push through a less substantial barrier.
