Alice wants to share a symmetric key with Bob. She encrypts the small (64-bit) secret key $K$ with Bob’s public RSA key $(n,e)$ by padding it with zeroes to 2048 bits (the length of n) and computing $$C\gets(\text{0..0}\|K)^e\bmod n$$ Thereupon, she sends $C$ to Bob. Discuss either why this key exchange is secure or describe an efficient attack that can recover $K$ with far less than $2^{64}$ operations.
The  defines multiple padding schemes for signature generation/verification ( and ),  and encryption/decryption ( and the less safe ).   Which attacks are possible on signature generation/verification and encryption/decryption if no padding mechanisms are applied, i.e. if raw RSA is used over the plaintext or hash?
How can I see the history of stories I've read on Apple News? Sometimes I'll be interrupted in the middle of reading a story on Apple News and later when I open the app, it didn't save the story I was previously reading. I want to be able to resume reading the article, how can I find it again? I have shapefile named `band-tailed_pigeon.shp which is fine and no problem on displaying or geoprocessing on Desktop but in ArcPy when I try to merge some layes to it I am getting this error   ExecuteError: ERROR 000354: The name contains invalid characters Failed to execute (Merge).  I tried to do the proccess with a simple name like sample.shp which it works but I HAVE TO keep the same name as we are using them in several projects. Here is the code which I have FinaloutLocation = &quot;E:\\GIS\\Data\\Final\\band-tailed_pigeon.shp&quot; inFeaturesToMerge = [dissolve_1, dissolve_2, dissolve_3, dissolve_4, dissolve_5] arcpy.Merge_management(inFeaturesToMerge, FinaloutLocation) Combining the second elements of a set of ordered pairs based on their first element When is the Killing form null?

TeX capacity exceeded with glossary package My document contains many thousands of glossary items. When compiling with XeLaTeX, about 1/8 of the way through the document, it reports:  ! TeX capacity exceeded, sorry [main memory size=3000000]. \@glolist@ ...},{13586},{9406},{4539},{12811},{179                                                   51},{5831},{1047},{14948},    The numbers you see above are ones placed in #1 of \newglossaryentry{#1}{#2}. These unique numbers are assigned to each entry for convenience. I have successfully compiled short tests of the document, which only used 1% of the full content. The resulting .glo file is about 1 MB in size.   Could this be the result of some error on my part or am I giving TeX too much work to do?  Update:  I have followed the instructions below (edited texmf.cnf and running  fmtutil-sys --all. This has allowed me to compile an additional portion of the book, but no matter the settings I add, I can't go beyond 5/8 of the way through.  A compile with extra_mem_top.xelatex = 30000000 and extra_mem_top.xelatex = 50000000 both result in:  TeX capacity exceeded, sorry [pool size=3186676].   Update:  I have done the following:  $ kpsewhich texmf.cnf /usr/local/texlive/2011/texmf.cnf $ nano /usr/local/texlive/2011/texmf.cnf   To the texmf.cnf file, following instructions at , I added:  main_memory = 230000000 extra_mem_top = 10000000 extra_mem_bot = 10000000 save_size = 150000 stack_size = 150000  main_memory.xelatex = 30000000 extra_mem_top.xelatex = 30000000   After this, I tried: - fmtutil-sys --all, then compiling xelatex file.tex. - fmtutil --all, then compiling xelatex file.tex. - fmtutil-sys --byfmt xelatex, then compiling with xelatex file.tex. - texhash, then compiling with xelatex file.tex.  All of these resulted in no changes in results. I still get:  TeX capacity exceeded, sorry [pool size=3186676]. Multiple Sub Query using child parent relationship Consider in my basket, I have a package (Main Product-just a holder) which will have 2 standalone products (child) and again the standalone products will have child products (Grand Parent). All these products are from same object called Product Configuration.   We have a child relationship to itself(Parent Configuration) using a custom lookup field. The problem here is, I could only fetch details only up to 1 level (i.e.,package and child details) and I was not able to drill deeper to grand child products.  Query I used to get 1 level of relation ships is below:  SELECT id, name, Access_Type__c, Circuit_Bandwidth_Value__c, QuoteType__c,     Upstream_Speed_Value__c, IP_Address_Type__c, Care_Level__c, Base_Plan_Value__c, Site_Address__c,      cscfga__Quantity__c, Quantity_of_Ip_Address__c, cscfga__Contract_Term__c, Connection_Price__c,      Monthly_Rental_Conga__c, Total_Annual_Rental__c,      (         SELECT id, name,cscfga__Product_Family__c,Upstream_Speed_Value__c, cscfga__Quantity__c, Quantity_of_Ip_Address__c,              Connection_Price__c, Monthly_Rental_Conga__c,cscfga__Parent_Configuration__r.Circuit_Bandwidth_Value__c,Circuit_Bandwidth_Value__c          FROM cscfga__Related_Configurations__r         WHERE cscfga__Parent_Configuration__c &lt;&gt; ''          ORDER BY name     )  FROM cscfga__Product_Configuration__c  WHERE cscfga__Product_Basket__r.cscfga__Opportunity__c='{pv0}'      AND cscfga__Product_Basket__r.csordtelcoa__Synchronised_with_Opportunity__c=True     AND cscfga__Parent_Configuration__c = ''  ORDER BY name   Not sure how to write another sub query to get grand child details.

Modular arithmetic: division, fractions, solving linear congruences How to reinstall PulseAudio (Ubuntu 12.04) Asked again to review a paper, when the authors don't wish to modify it I have received a manuscript to review for a journal. The interesting thing is, I had already reviewed this article (exact same title, abstract and author list, almost exact same content) for another journal a few weeks ago where I recommended that it be published, but only after major revisions of both form and content. When I first reviewed it, I wrote a two-page review, listing some questions and several “actionable” comments, ranging from some concerns about exactness of the text (some conclusions didn't seem fully backed by the results) all the way down to trivial stuff (grammar, a few typos, graphic issues with the figures, etc.).  Now, the manuscript has come to me for review again, but it is almost unchanged from the first version. None of the serious stuff has been addressed, and even most of the trivial stuff was not fixed (there's at least one remaining typo, and the figures still aren't fully legible). However, I think this behavior from the authors is clearly a bad signal, which should be somehow conveyed to the editor: they're not willing to amend their work, and would rather do some journal-shopping.  What would you suggest me to do? Should I just re-send my earlier review? Add a note to the editor about my knowledge of the “history” of the paper? Or maybe even include it in my review, so the authors are aware that people know of their behavior, and maybe feel bad enough to change their ways?    PS: I wrote it in the present tense, but it's actually a story from my past. I'm not sure I did the right thing at the time, and I think it's better to actually formulate it as an open question… Pokemon keep running away and Pokestops don't drop anything when spinning. What is going on? Interference between strokeopacity and fillopacity I have a few circles in a drawing, and want to highlight some of them.  \begin{tikzpicture}  \coordinate (A1) at (0,0); \coordinate (A2) at (1,0); \coordinate (A3) at (1,1); \coordinate (B)  at (1,0);  \draw (A1) -- (A2); \draw (A1) -- (A3); \draw (B)  -- (A3);  \foreach \point in {A1,A2,A3,B} {    \fill [black,draw=white](\point) circle (3pt); }  \pgfsetstrokeopacity{.3} \pgfsetfillopacity{.3} \fill [red,draw,rounded corners,line width=9pt] (A1) -- (A2) -- (A3) -- cycle; \pgfsetstrokeopacity{1} \pgfsetfillopacity{1} \end{tikzpicture}   I would like the whole area surrounding the A points to be of the same color, but the strokeopaticy and the fillopacity interfere.  Is there some ay I can prevent this?  Note: in my actuall use scenario, there are too many coordinates for manual adjusting to be an option (otherwise I would just do with a fill with rounded corners, with points calculated manually). When conducting multiple regression, when should you center your predictor variables & when should you standardize them? In some literature, I have read that a regression with multiple explanatory variables, if in different units, needed to be standardized.  (Standardizing consists in subtracting the mean and dividing by the standard deviation.)  In which other cases do I need to standardize my data?  Are there cases in which I should only center my data (i.e., without dividing by standard deviation)? Adjective Used as an Adverb? That cake looks good.    In formal proper grammar, may good (adjective) get used as an adverb?

PSTricks error "Undefined control sequence  \c@lor@to@ps" I have a problem with this file tex:  \begin{document} \begin{figure} \begin{center} \begin{pspicture}(0,0)(1,3.8) \psline{-&lt;}(0,0)(0,.2) \psline{-}(0,.2)(0,.4) \psline{*-&gt;}(0,.4)(0,.9) \psline{-*}(0,.9)(0,1.4) \psline{-&lt;}(0,1.4)(0,2.4) \psline{-}(0,2.4)(0,3.4) \psline{*-}(0,3.4)(0,3.6) \psline{&gt;-}(0,3.6)(0,3.8) \rput(1,.4){$y=0$}%testo \rput(1,1.4){$y=1$} \rput(1,3.4){$y=3$} \end{pspicture} \end{center} \caption{} \end{figure} \end{document}   but I don't understand where is the error. How do I set a custom resolution? I am using ArcMap 10.1. The background: I have an .mxd that I intend to roll out across the company as our default template for all future maps/figure production. This .mxd contains two Data Frames; the first (&quot;Main&quot;) is larger (occupying almost the entire page) and is designed to be used to hold the majority of mapped data whilst the second (&quot;Inset&quot;) is much smaller and is to be used as an overview map. The problem: When choosing to import this new .mxd to an existing .mxd (using the Change Layout button on the Layout toolbar) the wizard automatically selects the smaller (&quot;Inset&quot;) Data Frame to occupy the larger part of the page. The screenshot below shows this interface with a red box indicating the two possible locations of each Data Frame:  Whilst it is possible to manually alter the order of the Data Frames using the Move Up or Move Down buttons, how do I change the default option for this setting (i.e. so that the &quot;Main&quot; Data Frame always appears in the larger space - &quot;2&quot;)? The reasoning is that I would like the process of using this new .mxd template to be as simple as possible, this is especially important as we have a wide range of users with varying abilities. Does anyone know how to choose/change this default setting? It does not appear to be in the Data Frame Properties &gt; Data Frame menu where I would expect it to be.
