What cryptographic algorithms does SFS use?

Self-Certifying File System: FAQ
SFS relies uses SHA-1 or slightly strengthened variants as a "random oracle" in a number of situations. HostIDs are computed as SHA-1 (1, Location, PubKey, 1, Location, PubKey). SFS generates random bits with the NIST pseudo-random generator (specified for use in DSS key generation). This generator is based on SHA-1.

What algorithms does the NameThesaurus use ?

FAQ
The NameThesaurus uses a combination of phonetic and other techniques for name variant identification. All surnames are limited to 27 characters (a-z and " ' "). Double-barrelled names are split into their component parts and treated independently. All accented characters are converted to their closest matching letter (e.g. ?, ?, ? and ? are all mapped to " a ").

Why should I use SFS?

Self-Certifying File System: FAQ
You should use SFS to improve the security of your local-area network, to gain remote file system access where you can't currently have it, or to set up a file server where currently servers are under centralized control. Improve local-area network security. Current network file systems trust the networks they run over. An attacker who compromises one machine on an ethernet can usually take over many of the other machines by exploiting the file system protocols.

How does RL relate to genetic algorithms?

RL FAQ
Most work with genetic algorithms simulates evolution, not learning during an individual's life, and because of this is very different from work in RL. That having been said, there are two provisos. First, there is a large body of work on classifier systems that uses or is closely related to genetic algorithms. This work is concerned with learning during a single agent's lifetime (using GAs to organize the components of the agent's mind) and is in fact RL research.

What algorithms does DeadLine use to solve equations?

Equation root finding
Roots of equations are used to solve many engineering problems. Some nonlinear single variable equations are hard to solve analytically, and therefore numerical methods are used to solve these equations. The software solves not just algebraic equations, but also exponential equations and trigonometric equations. While there is no flawless technique to solve equations, DeadLine combines the most successful methods in order to deliver you the right answer.

atsec - FIPS 140-2: Frequently asked questions
The novelty of the technology. (technology novel to the CMVP might equire new implementation guidance.) For the validation by the CMVP subsequent to testing by the laboratory consider also that there is time required by the CMVP for their validation activities. This varies, but can add a few months to the schedule.

What about algorithms?

Curriculum and Instruction Department - Denver Public School...
The word algorithm is a part of your children’s working vocabulary when they use the Everyday Mathematics program. An algorithm is a set of rules or well-defined procedure guaranteed to achieve a certain objective. For example, following the directions for assembling a new toy for your child, using a recipe, and following any procedure are all examples of algorithms. In mathematics, an algorithm is a recipe for computation.

Typically you use a recipient public key to establish a cipher key, and then use the cipher key to encrypt the bulk of the message. The integrity of the message is assured by including a MAC of the message. The authenticity of the sender is assured by a digital signature and some certificates. You could look at something like SSL or S/MIME for an example, although these are not really good starting points for designing a new system.

It will take a several weeks before you can use those algs without stopping to think. Just try and practice little by little (you don't want to get too addicted), and the algs should come to you naturally. It took me 2 months to master two step F2L & OLL and average sub-40, 3 more months to memorize full Fridrich and sub-30, and another 3 more months to be able to "see ahead" and use finger tricks and finally average sub-20. Yes, I did memorize the notation first.

What is a cryptographic module?

atsec - FIPS 140-2: Frequently asked questions
According to FIPS 140-2, a cryptographic module is “the set of hardware, software, and/or firmware that implements Approved security functions (including cryptographic algorithms and key generation) and is contained within the cryptographic boundary.”

What are all those deinterlace algorithms ?

DScaler - Frequently Asked Questions
Yes you can. DScaler is being developped mainly by people using it as an analog source scaler for their projector and they prefer for sure using DScaler from their remote on the sofa rather than from their desk ;-) DScaler is thus filled with keyboard shortcuts for all main options so that you can do everything quickly. We also suggest the use of Girder from Ron Bessems as the application of choice for remote controlling your computer. An export group has been developped. Download it here.

How does the cryptographic security of the OpenPGP & S/MIME standards compare?

PGP DH vs. RSA FAQ
The following table identifies the algorithms mandated (as "MUST" algorithms) in S/MIME (v3) [IETF98] and OpenPGP [RFC2440]: Of course, it is the implementation of the standard that dictates the security, not the "theoretical" standard. (Note that ElGamal & DH are equivalent - see Note 1). Readers who are confused by the significance of "MUST" in IETF documents are referred to [RFC2119]. Asymmetric key size is of great importance in PGP and S/MIME.

Can I use other encryption algorithms such as RC2, RC4, or Twofish?

Powertech - Products - Encryption
AES encryption is not the only encryption algorithm that provides strong encryption. There are other encryption algorithms that can be used to secure your data. However, AES encryption is the current federal standard, and likely to be the basis for future state and federal regulations. AES encryption is the only algorithm that has a federally supported certification process.

Why use those complex algorithms to get extra accuracy? Can't you just go with using the var as is?

The Supernatural Olympics - FAQ
Unless you want strange effects like the buildings and lines being out of alignment (it takes but two seconds at 64x time for the buildings to become noticably out of alignment and by 15 seconds, they are so far out of alignment, it's extremely unrealistic. Using these complex algorithms reduces this effect drastically which helps provide the enhanced accuracy. This is why I can't go with the var as it is. With floats and doubles available in Lite-C, I could just eliminate the need for this.

What are the alternative algorithms? Why are these part of the Everyday Mathematics curriculum?

UCSMP: Everyday Mathematics
For decades, all American school children have been taught one standard procedure for each of the four basic operations of arithmetic. These "standard" algorithms, like the regrouping ("borrowing") algorithm for multi-digit subtraction and the long division algorithm, are not the only way to perform these operations. There are many alternative algorithms taught in other countries. Compared to the standard U.S.
