This document discusses random numbers and their importance for cryptography. It begins by asking what random means for computers and how they can generate random values. Random numbers are needed for encryption algorithms to produce unpredictable encryption keys. True randomness comes from atmospheric or radioactive sources, while pseudo-random numbers from software can be predicted. The document also briefly mentions attacks that can be done on random number generators if they are not truly random.

home security System
The program designs a home security system with two main modules: 1) an intruder detection system using a PIR sensor to detect humans and alert, and 2) a password-based door lock system. The door lock system uses a numeric keypad to accept a 4-digit password (last 4 digits of the registration number) and an LCD to display whether access is granted or denied. Upon receiving the correct password, a motor is enabled to open the door. If an incorrect password is entered or an intruder is detected, a buzzer is activated. The program is simulated and verified on an Arduino using the Tinkercad circuit simulator.

Cryptography - Simplified - Asymmetric Encryption
Simplified view of Asymmetric Encryption, Its features, and some examples of such algorithms. This slide deck explains some of the most basics.
Cryptography - Simplified - Symmetric Encryption
The document discusses symmetric encryption. The most popular symmetric encryption standard today is AES, which uses 128, 192, or 256-bit keys to encrypt 128-bit blocks of plaintext. Other symmetric algorithms include Blowfish, RC4, 3DES, and IDEA. Symmetric algorithms are fast and used when performance is important. The same key is used for both encryption and decryption. Modes like CBC, CFB, OFB, and CTR can be used. Authentication can be provided by modes like GCM and GMAC. While theoretical attacks on AES exist, current attacks are not practical and a brute-force attack would take a long time. Side channel attacks target specific implementations rather than the AES algorithm itself.
Cryptography - Simplified - Key Generation - Asymmetric Keys
This presentation shows the structure of an RSA Private and Public Key, and also the algorithm that produces the asymmetric key.

LF Energy Webinar: Carbon Data Specifications: Mechanisms to Improve Data Acc...
This LF Energy webinar took place June 20, 2024. It featured:
-Alex Thornton, LF Energy
-Hallie Cramer, Google
-Daniel Roesler, UtilityAPI
-Henry Richardson, WattTime
In response to the urgency and scale required to effectively address climate change, open source solutions offer significant potential for driving innovation and progress. Currently, there is a growing demand for standardization and interoperability in energy data and modeling. Open source standards and specifications within the energy sector can also alleviate challenges associated with data fragmentation, transparency, and accessibility. At the same time, it is crucial to consider privacy and security concerns throughout the development of open source platforms.
This webinar will delve into the motivations behind establishing LF Energy’s Carbon Data Specification Consortium. It will provide an overview of the draft specifications and the ongoing progress made by the respective working groups.
Three primary specifications will be discussed:
-Discovery and client registration, emphasizing transparent processes and secure and private access
-Customer data, centering around customer tariffs, bills, energy usage, and full consumption disclosure
-Power systems data, focusing on grid data, inclusive of transmission and distribution networks, generation, intergrid power flows, and market settlement data
zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.

Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation Parameters
Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they?
Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality.
You’ll leave this webinar with a better understanding of how to maximize the potential of automations by making use of attributes & automation parameters, with the ultimate goal of setting your enterprise integration workflows up on autopilot.

Mutation Testing for Task-Oriented Chatbots
Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.

Data (message to be protected) 2. Encryption Algorithm (This is public information - mostly) 3. Encryption Key (Secret, except for the Public Key in the Public Key algorithm.) The only element that protects the secrecy of data is the secrecy of the ‘encryption key’ used; as the algorithm is already public. If you can predict or guess the ‘encryption key’, you can break the encryption to get the data that is protected. Some examples of random keys: 1. Session Key in a Web Browser 2. Encryption Keys in RSA/AES256 algorithms 3. Lotteries and draws
