Cryptanalysis of the GPRS Encryption Algorithms GEA-1 and GEA-2Anatol Alizar
The document analyzes cryptographic attacks on the GEA-1 and GEA-2 algorithms used to encrypt GPRS data. It finds that GEA-1 has a weakness allowing recovery of the initial state in 240 time using only 65 bits of known keystream. This weakness is very unlikely to occur by chance, indicating an intentional design to limit security to 40 bits for export regulations. For GEA-2, the document presents an attack requiring 245.1 time and 1600 bytes of known keystream to recover the state.
This document provides lecture notes on analytic geometry. It begins with an introduction discussing the goals of building an algebraic geometry framework for analytic situations by replacing topological abelian groups with condensed abelian groups. Condensed sets are defined as sheaves on the pro-étale site of the point, and behave like generalized topological spaces. The notes establish that quasiseparated condensed sets correspond to ind-compact Hausdorff spaces. This provides the needed abelian category structure to build an analytic geometry in parallel to algebraic geometry over schemes.
This document summarizes the solution of a cryptosystem involving unrelated cipher alphabets. There are 25 different cipher alphabets available. The plain text is encrypted by substituting each plaintext letter with the corresponding letter from the cipher alphabets, which may be used in the same or different sequences and orders. Once the 25 cipher alphabets are reconstructed by analyzing encrypted texts, subsequent messages can be easily solved even if the alphabets are used in a different order.

The UK intelligence and security agencies assess the threat from international terrorism in the UK as severe, meaning an attack is highly likely. This threat is predominantly driven by Daesh, which seeks to maintain its narrative of success despite military losses, and retains some territory. Daesh continues to prioritize and incite external attacks against the West through extremist propaganda. Since March 2017 there have been three successful terror attacks and several disrupted plots in the UK, reflecting a shift in the nature and scale of extremist attack planning. While Al-Qaeda also remains a threat, Daesh's extremist narrative has emerged as the main driver of radicalization and terrorism in the UK.
Libratus is an AI developed by researchers at Carnegie Mellon University that achieved superhuman performance at no-limit Texas hold'em poker by defeating top human professionals in a 120,000-hand poker competition. It uses a three-part approach: 1) It computes an abstraction of the full game to develop a "blueprint" strategy for early rounds; 2) When later rounds are reached, it constructs finer-grained abstractions in real-time and solves them while ensuring strategies fit the overall blueprint; 3) It enhances the blueprint by adding missing branches and strategies based on opponents' actual moves. This game-theoretic approach uses application-independent techniques and marks the first time an AI has defeated humans at this
Waymo sued Uber, Otto, and Otto Trucking alleging trade secret misappropriation, patent infringement, and unfair competition. Waymo claims its former employee Anthony Levandowski downloaded over 14,000 confidential files from Waymo before leaving to set up a self-driving truck company that was later acquired by Uber. Waymo also claims one of its LiDAR component vendors was inadvertently sent machine drawings of an Uber LiDAR circuit board that bore a striking resemblance to Waymo's design, reflecting misuse of Waymo's trade secrets. Waymo is seeking damages and compensation for Defendants' unlawful conduct.

This order grants in part and denies in part Facebook's motion to dismiss claims brought by BladeRoom Group Limited and Bripco. The plaintiffs allege that Facebook and Emerson Electric enticed them to reveal confidential data center designs and construction methods with promises of partnership, but then misappropriated those designs for their own use. The order finds that most, but not all, of the plaintiffs' claims withstand a Rule 12(b)(6) review, so it grants the motion to dismiss in part and denies it in part.

Global booking systems store travel data from airlines and passengers. They include price and availability rules as well as personal reservation information. Three dominant global distribution systems (GDS) are Amadeus, Sabre, and Galileo. Security protections for these systems are minimal, with coarse access controls, weak authentication methods, and a lack of basic security controls like rate limiting and logging. This exposes private traveler information and leaves the systems vulnerable to fraud and privacy abuse.

This document reports on radio and X-ray observations of FRB 121102, the only known repeating fast radio burst source. Six additional radio bursts from FRB 121102 were detected - five with the Green Bank Telescope at 2 GHz and one with the Arecibo Observatory at 1.4 GHz, bringing the total detected bursts from this source to 17. X-ray observations from Swift and Chandra show at least one possible counterpart, but the probability of chance superposition is high. Radio imaging with the VLA places an upper limit on any continuum emission at the location. The repeating nature of FRB 121102 indicates that at least some FRBs originate from a repeating phenomenon and not a cataclysmic event.

The Hamburg District Court dismissed a claim brought by Spiegel Online GmbH against Eyeo GmbH, the developer of the Adblock Plus browser extension. Spiegel Online alleged that Adblock Plus violated competition law by blocking most of the ads on Spiegel Online's websites, while allowing ads on some sites that paid a fee. The court found that since Spiegel Online did not implement technical measures to only provide its content and ads together as a unified offering, Eyeo was not violating its rights by blocking some ads. Eyeo argued its fee structure and whitelisting process were justified based on administrative costs. The court ruled in favor of Eyeo and dismissed the claim.

The document describes a study that used a technique called 3D-CLEM (correlative light and electron microscopy) to analyze the structure of mitotic chromosomes at high resolution. Some of the key findings include:
1) 3D-CLEM revealed that prophase chromosomes have a smaller volume than metaphase chromosomes, likely due to the absence of a chromosome periphery structure at that stage of mitosis.
2) The extra volume observed in metaphase chromosomes compared to prophase chromosomes can be almost entirely accounted for by the nucleolar volume.
3) Analysis of wild-type and Ki-67 depleted chromosomes found that the periphery structure comprises 30-47% of the entire chromosome volume and more than 33%
The document discusses the strategic rationale and financial benefits of Tesla acquiring SolarCity.

The document demonstrates that intense terahertz pulses can be used to nonlinearly control spin dynamics in the antiferromagnet TmFeO3 through a novel mechanism. Resonant excitation of electronic orbital transitions of rare-earth Tm3+ ions by the terahertz electric field abruptly modifies the magnetic anisotropy. This triggers large-amplitude coherent oscillations of the iron spins that scale quadratically with the terahertz field strength, outperforming conventional linear Zeeman coupling to the magnetic field.

Section 702 of FISA allows the targeting of communications of foreign persons located abroad for foreign intelligence purposes. It prohibits targeting US persons anywhere or targeting persons abroad to acquire information from someone in the US. The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court annually reviews certifications defining categories of foreign targets and targeting/minimization procedures. Strict rules are in place to protect privacy, including requiring a foreign intelligence purpose for each use, documenting all targeting decisions, and promptly destroying any non-relevant information about US persons. Compliance is monitored through government and court reviews.
