“In school we learn that mistakes are bad, and we are punished for making them. Yet, if you look at the way humans are designed to learn, we learn by making mistakes. We learn to walk by falling down. If we never fell down, we would never walk.” – Robert Kiyosaki On a recent afternoon … Continue reading The Mysterious Case of the Barking Dog→| Surprised By Joy

Take a look at this list of corporate values: Communication. Respect. Integrity. Excellence. They sound pretty good, don’t they? Maybe they even resemble your own company’s values. If so, you should be nervous. These are the corporate values of Enron, as claimed in its 2000 annual report. And they’re absolutely meaningless. Indeed, most values statements, says the author, are bland, toothless, or just plain dishonest. And far from being harmless, as some executives assume, they’re oft...| Harvard Business Review

This paper addresses the security of authenticated encryption schemes in the public key setting. We present two new notions of authenticity that are stronger than the integrity notions given in the symmetric setting \cite{bn00}. We also show that chosen-ciphertext attack security (IND-CCA) in the public key setting is not obtained in general from the combination of chosen-plaintext security (IND-CPA) and integrity of ciphertext (INT-CTXT), which is in contrast to the results shown in the symm...| IACR Cryptology ePrint Archive
