Safran Identity and Security and the computer science department of École polytechnique will conduct a study on the manipulation of centrally issued documents on blockchains.
Object of the study
There already exist various protocols designed for manipulating sensitive documents on blockchains, from straightforward ones (hashes), to advanced protocols (ZeroCash).
The objective is to sort out the various proposition for anonymising transactions or data on blockchains, and to design a new one relevant to our application domain. Since the application domain is concerned with documents issued by a trusted third party (a government in case of a passport), our application domain may not be well fitted by existing approaches. Some software developments may be conducted.
The candidate should have either a rather good knowledge of a few advanced cryptographic protocols, or have a very good understanding of bitcoin (or ethereum) and in particular its programmable features (smart contracts, OP_RETURN).
The candidate will spend 20% of his research time within Safran Identity and Security, (Issy-les-Moulineaux), and 40% in the computer science department of École polytechnique (Palaiseau), within INRIA project-team Grace.
Safran Identity and Security
Safran Identity & Security is a global leader in security and identity solutions, deploying solutions in more than 100 countries, and employing more than 8,700 people in 57 countries. Its solutions manage identities, secure payments and transactions and safeguard privacy, for an increasingly digital and connected world.
École polytechnique
École Polytechnique is a leading French institute which combines top-level research, academics, and innovation at the cutting-edge of science and technology. Its curriculum promotes a culture of excellence with a strong emphasis on science, anchored in humanist traditions.

Funded studentship for an EU or UK student in Privacy Preserving Continuous Authentication. Supervised Dr Steven Murdoch in the Information Security Group at University College London, in collaboration with VASCO Data Security.
Authentication technology plays a critical role in securing access to online services, such as banking, email and social networking. Session authentication schemes establish the identity of the user only at the beginning of the session so are vulnerable to attacks which tamper with communications after the authenticated session has been established. Transaction authentication schemes defend against such attacks by performing an additional authentication step at critical parts of the session, but are unpopular with users due to repeated authentication. Continuous authentication schemes, in contrast, verify user identity and intent throughout the session. So far, such schemes have had limited use in practice due to two primary weaknesses of existing approaches: privacy concerns and risk of false positives/false negatives.
This project aims to address these limitations by designing and evaluating new approaches for continuous authentication, based on a solid theoretical underpinning so as to give a high degree of confidence that the resulting decisions match expectations and requirements. Furthermore the project will focus on ways to preserve user privacy by processing behavioural measurements on the user's computer such that sensitive information is not sent to the online service. The evaluation to be performed will consider the false-positive/false-negative rates, privacy impact, user acceptance and costs of deployment and operation.
The successful applicant will have their fees paid in full at the home/EU rate at UCL and receive a tax-free stipend at standard EPSRC rates. The project is to start in January 2017.
Please note that due to the funding provider of this project we are unable to offer this studentship to applicants who are categorised as overseas fee status.

The research will be conducted under the supervision of Prof P Y A Ryan, head of the APSIA (Applied Security and Information Assurance) research group, http://wwwde.uni.lu/snt/research/apsia.
APSIA specializes in the mathematical foundations of information assurance: the mathematical modelling and analysis of information flows, the design and analysis of cryptographic primitives and protocols (both classical and quantum), secure verifiable voting systems, and anonymous marking systems and game-theoretic analysis of non-interference and coercion-resistance. The group has expertise in both the symbolic (formal methods) and the computational ("provable security") styles of analysis and is investigating the links and synergies between them. The group has also established itself as a leading centre for the socio-technical aspects of security.
The topic lies both in Authenticated Key Exchange (AKE) and Quantum Key Distribution (QKD). Currently, complexity-theoretic definitions of security for AKEs are abundant but their relations are poorly understood, and the advent of QKD – in which both complexity theoretic and quantum mechanisms are intertwined - is further complicating matters. The research challenge is twofold: 1) to aid in finding fundamental definitions of security for AKE and 2) to develop a rigorous framework for reasoning about the composition of classical and quantum mechanisms, and in particular to examine to what extent definitions for AKE can be adapted to the QKD case.

This scholarship is to work on the High Performance Control System Security research project. High performance control systems are used in many security-critical applications such as car control systems, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), autonomous vehicles and critical-infrastructure systems. Most solutions suffer from security and safety flaws, which can be attributed to a lack of proper authentication, confidentiality and availability.
You'll investigate security in a particular control system (such as UAV) or perhaps a cluster of systems that exhibits similar design characteristics. This research is likely to relate to a generic key management protocols to implement authentication and confidentiality. Another possible research avenue is software defined networking and its impact on availability or how it can be used to mitigate denial of service (DoS) attacks.

Health & Pregnancy
Folic Acid Strikes Again
"[This study] is showing that folic acid can reduce the risk of those birth defects," says Lynne B. Bailey, PhD. "The advice would certainly be to stop taking these medications, but if the pregnancy is not planned ... this gives you more reason to adhere to the recommendations [to take folic acid]." Bailey is a professor of human nutrition at the University of Florida in Gainesville.
The U.S. Public Health Service recommends that women get at least 400 micrograms of folic acid, or folate, per day to prevent birth defects, but the CDC says most women only get about half that amount on a regular basis. In addition to getting folate through prenatal and multivitamins, another way to boost intake of folic acid is from the plate. Some good sources include:
- Most breakfast cereals
- Dark green leafy vegetables
- Oranges and orange juice
- Dried beans
- Peanuts
- Chick peas
- Wheat germ
- Whole-grain breads
The best strategy is a combination of a supplement containing folic acid and varying the diet to include more folate-rich foods, says Bailey. In 1998, the FDA began requiring that certain foods such as breakfast cereals, breads, and pastas be enriched with folate after studies proved the vitamin significantly reduced the risk of birth defects. A few ready-to-eat cereals contain the entire daily requirement for folate in just one serving.
Bailey says there are reasons other than preventing birth defects to make sure you get enough folic acid. "The folate-rich food sources are also good sources of other nutrients that are considered heart-healthy," she says. "Folate is also associated with reducing a risk factor for heart disease. If you change your diet and the diet of your family to include more folate-rich food you're also potentially reducing your risk of heart disease and possibly even cancer."

My cats think Newman's Own Organic Cat Food (AND the canned dog food I 'try' to feed my dogs) is like crack! The instant I open the can, chaos ensues. They are instantly worked up into insanity at the smell of it. When I put their dish down it's like I am watching fur covered piranhas! It happens EVERY day at EVERY meal. I've never seen them act like this before! All I can say is, Newmans Own Organic Pet Food must be irresistibly delicious because they even invade the dogs when I feed the dog food! Wish I could share photos but I can't get the food in front of them and grab my camera fast enough to catch the action - I'm serious! LOL
My cats just love Newman's they think it is Purrfect food.

No Miguel you are wrong !
I used to think like you but everyone on this board has enlightened me in the ways of mediocrity & the pleasures of dropping points to allow inexperienced little boys run around in the fresh air .
There is no pleasure in the masculine amassing goals a plenty , clean sheets galore & hoarding points greedily .
You must Join us Miguel in the all new caring sharing steadied ship , transitional period , problems off the field , it will take time , 5 year plan LFC !

Small doses of Datura innoxia is actually rather pleasant. Datura stramonium on the other hand is rather ****, its about on the same level as Brugmansia suaveolens. A friend of mind uses Datura a lot, microdosing isn't bad. Ibogaine + Datura + B.caapi + DMT. thats his concoction weekly. He should be admitted.

I just got a Samsung Syncmaster 2233 at a local store, and it's suppose to reach 120 Hz frequencies. I plan on using it with Nvidia 3D vision later on, but I don't have the hardware for that yet. In the mean time, I just want to test the monitor to see if it's working ok.
Obviously, if I set it to 120Hz I can't notice any visual difference compared to 60Hz. So how can I test if the monitor is reaching the higher frequency?

Hello again, 1up.com.
What? You don't remember me? After all the great times we had together?
I guess I've been gone a little longer than I thought.
It's been one entire year since I wrote my last blog post, a review on Audiosurf for the PC. Since then I managed to get away from writing at home. I feel like I abandoned everything that I had come to love about the site and its community. It doesn't feel particularily good, and I have no excuse for being gone for so long. For that, I am deeply sorry.
So where exactly have I been for one year?
Believe it or not, I've spent most of my time playing games. There's one game in particular that has managed to grab me with razor-sharp claws and refuses to let go. That game is Team Fortress 2.
Insert the typical "Spah sappin' mah..." joke here.
The first person shooter genre is not my absolute favourite, but TF2 has managed to take a hold on my life unlike any other FPS I have come across. It has become a daily ritual for me. While I do admit that I don't spend all day playing TF2, I believe have spent a hell of a lot of time playing it. Even take a look at my stats. As of this date, I have spent over 111 hours of playing Scout, and that's just one class. My least played class is Sniper, and I have still played close to 22 hours total playing that class individually. TF2 has also affected my playtime on consoles. While I have been starting to get back into consoles more recently, I feel like I completely abandoned Xbox Live for the longest time. When I did log on, some of my friends would even ask me where I had been. I feel even worse for my Wii.
I have spent a pathetic total of 434.7 hours playing Team Fortress 2. That's just TF2, by the way.
Besides playing Team Fortress 2 (and some other games on Steam), I also started going to 4chan a few months before I fell off the face of 1up.com. Yes, it's a pretty crappy place. I refuse to go on the infamous random board to this day, but I did find myself going on /v/ and /a/ (which are the video game and anime/manga boards, respectively). Again, it's not pretty in the slightest, but I do feel like I have gained something from it. I've learned to actually give some games a chance that I would have never had played if I never went on /v/. Perhaps the best two examples would be Cave Story (which might just be the best peice of freeware ever concieved) and Tales of Vesperia, a game that I would have most likely ignored but is now one of my very favourite games on Xbox 360. I also got into more anime and manga series that would have been completely alien to me otherwise. I wouldn't call myself a hardcore otaku, but I've learned to appreciate good anime now much more than ever before, old and new. Also, my image folders exploded. My Pictures folder now takes up 1.61 GB on my hard drive.
Just a little example of what I found what I and learned to love.
I have not abandoned my dreams of going into journalism, however. Far from it, in fact. I have actually been introduced to the wonderful opportunity of writing game reviews for a local online newspaper. While I will admit that I had even put that off, I did actually manage to send my first review in, which was for Battlefield 1943. I originally wrote the review in Word 2007, and when I tried to upload it here on 1up.com, I was presented with a nasty error telling me that I went over the character limit. What made this error even worse was that it said I had more characters than what I actually typed. I wasn't exactly around when this new character limit was put into place, but when (or if) my review is posted, I might have it present it here quite differently. By that, I mean I may have to only provide part of the review on 1up and a link to the full review at the end, which I apologize for.
Yes, I'm still writing.
To end this properly (and simply), I apologize for taking so long to come back to 1up.com. Hopefully, I don't end up dissapearing again, but I will say that it's nice to be back where gamers call home.

Michele Bachmann Announces She Will Not Run For Another Term
ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) - Republicans expect a long line of potential candidates from their party to replace Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann.
State Rep. Matt Dean, a former House majority leader, told The Associated Press that he's inclined to run and would announce his formal intentions soon. Bachmann announced Wednesday she would leave the seat after completing her fourth term, setting off a 2014 scramble. U.S. Rep. Michelle Bachmann's surprise announcement that she won't seek a fifth term has her opponent saying that she "read the tea leaves."
Jim Graves is the Democrat who nearly beat Bachmann in November. He says he thinks Bachmann heard a message in last fall's close race. Graves said in an interview on KARE-TV of Minneapolis on Wednesday that voters are looking for someone who has more of a business background and understands the economy.
Graves is a businessman who built his wealth in the hotel business. Graves was planning a second run against Bachmann. He says he has no idea who his new opponent will be.

OF ALL of Damon Feldman's cockamamie stunts, the one in which he and Octomom got engaged was the most ridiculous.
Now the Celebrity Boxing Federation promoter is suing Octomom, a/k/a Nadya Suleman, in Delaware County. The pair are due in court Wednesday in Broomall.
Feldman seeks his ring, which belonged to his ex-wife, or $7,500. He alleges that Suleman was supposed to return the ring after wearing it for a month to garner publicity for their fake engagement, but that she never did.
He "proposed" to Suleman in February, during a promotional appearance in Woodlyn, Delaware County.
He also states that he was to receive $5,000 for his participation in the stunt. Feldman asserts it was Suleman's manager , Gina Rodriguez, who concocted the chicanery.

High-resolution large datasets were acquired to improve the understanding of murine bone physiology. The purpose of this work is to present the challenges and solutions in segmenting and visualizing bone in such large datasets acquired using micro-CT scan of mice. The analyzed dataset is more than 50 GB in size with more than 6,000 2,048 × 2,048 slices. The study was performed to automatically measure the bone mineral density (BMD) of the entire skeleton. A global Renyi entropy (GREP) method was initially used for bone segmentation. This method consistently oversegmented skeletal region. A new method called adaptive local Renyi entropy (ALREP) is proposed to improve the segmentation results. To study the efficacy of the ALREP, manual segmentation was performed. Finally, a specialized high-end remote visualization system along with the software, VirtualGL, was used to perform remote rendering of this large dataset. It was determined that GREP overestimated the bone cross-section by around 30 % compared with ALREP. The manual segmentation process took 6,300 min for 6,300 slices while ALREP took only 150 min for segmentation. Automatic image processing with ALREP method may facilitate BMD measurement of the entire skeleton in a significantly reduced time, compared with manual process.
