Voyle

Voyle is both a given name and a surname. The origin of the name is from the Welsh language. It was originally moel, meaning bald, but became mutated (a change that happens in the Welsh language under certain grammatical rules, in this instance the soft mutation, from moel to foel.) It can refer to a person or a land feature such as the poorly vegetated top of a round hill. The name is often mis-spelt on census returns and the like, as it became anglicised. As the Welsh letter f is sounded as v then the name became spelled as the following variants;

Voil, Voel, Voyl, Voyle and even Voyles.

The name tended to be concentrated in Pembrokeshire and other areas of South Wales until recent times.

It may refer to:

 * Mike Voyle (born 1970), Welsh rugby union player
 * Voyle Gilmore (1912–1979), American record producer and music arranger

South African Law/Persons/Legal personality

Definition
The law of persons is the branch of private law which govern:
 * The determination of legal personality
 * What beings are legal subjects (persons)
 * The status of legal subjects
 * The effect of various factors on a legal subject.

Different kinds of legal subjects
A legal subject is any entity which has rights, duties and capacities. Sometimes those rights, duties and capacities are limited for various reasons, for example, a minor has limited capacity to act; a company can only act through its members or through its board of directors; a universitas has no feelings. There are two classes of legal subject recognised in South african law.
 * 1) Juristic persons and
 * 2) Natural persons.

Traditionally the Law of persons deals with natural persons. Accordingly we will mention juristic persons in the briefest form and move on to natural persons as soon as is decently possible.

Juristic persons
In roman law, the only persons recognised as having any rights and duties were natural persons. The concept was developed in Roman Dutch law to include juristic persons.

A juristic person has a separate legal personality from the persons who created it. Thus for example, a company can sue in its own name; a mutual society would have rights and obligations separate from its members; A university could have duties towards its employees...etc. For a comprehensive discussion on legal personality see Jones & Buckle: The Civil Practise of the Magistrate's Courts in South Africa' Ninth Edition. Volume II The Rules Rule 6 and commentary thereto.

A juristic person can come into being in various ways:
 * 1) By Legislation.
 * 2) Associations incorporated by general enabling legislation have legal personality. Examples of such jursitic persons are:
 * 3) *Companies: Incorporated in terms of the Companies Act Act 61 of 1973.
 * 4) *Close Corporations: - The Close Corporations Act 69 of 1984
 * 5) *Banks: - The Banks Act 124 of 1993
 * 6) *Co-operatives: - The Co-operatives Act 91 of 1981
 * 7) Associations incorporated in terms of specific legislation E.g.
 * 8) *Universities
 * 9) *Semi-state organisations.
 * 10) *Escom
 * 11) *SABC
 * 12) Associations which comply with common law requirements. These persons are known as universitates (singular: universitas).
 * 13) * The association must have continuous existance - even though the people controlling it may differ from time to time.
 * 14) * It must have rights, duties and capacities separate from its members
 * 15) * Its objects must not be for gain. If it were for gain, it would have to be registered as a company in terms of the Companies Act.
 * 16) *Examples are: Churches; Political parties; Trade unions:
 * 17) Trusts and partnerships are not legal persons. The trustees and partners of a trust or a partnership are personally liable for the liabilities of the entity, although limited personality is given by virtue of other acts, for example the Trust Property Control Act, the Income Tax Act and the like.

Carter Malkasian

Carter Malkasian (born 1975) is an American historian and the chair of the defense analysis department at the Naval Postgraduate School. He is a former adviser to American military commanders in Afghanistan.

Career
Malkasian earned a doctorate in military history from the University of Oxford, where he studied under Robert O'Neill. After completing his studies, he became a teacher at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles. He then worked at the Center for Naval Analyses before spending time in Iraq conducting research in 2004 and 2006. In 2007, he worked with a Provincial Reconstruction Team in Kunar Province in Afghanistan. He returned to Afghanistan in 2009 and spent two years in Garmsir District in Helmand Province as a State Department representative to the district. In Garsmir, he was known for his ability to speak Pashto and his rejection of typical personal security precautions. From May 2013 to August 2014, he worked as a political adviser to General Joseph Dunford, the commander of the U.S. forces in Afghanistan.

Works
In 2013, Malkasian published War Comes to Garmser: Thirty Years of Conflict on the Afghan Frontier. The book is modeled on Jeffrey Race's 1972 work War Comes to Long An, an analysis of the Vietnam War. The book is a history of conflict in Garmsir District from 1979 to 2012.

Illusions of Victory: The Anbar Awakening and the Rise of the Islamic State (2017) deals with the Anbar Awakening and the Iraq War troop surge of 2007, and attempts to explain why those events did not lead to lasting peace in Iraq.

The American War in Afghanistan: A History (2021) is a comprehensive history of the war, arguing that one of the primary reasons for the Taliban's success was their deep connection to the religious and social identity of Afghanistan, and that the inability of the American-supported Afghan government to attract popular support and retain control of the country was due to Afghans’ viewing the American military as a foreign occupying power, writing, “The very presence of Americans in Afghanistan trod on what it meant to be Afghan. . . . Any Afghan government, however good, however democratic, was going to be imperiled as long as it was aligned with the United States.”

Content to add to subglacial lakes group page
Note: anything remaining on this page has yet to be added to the main page.

Formation
Antarctic ice sheet exist due to low-level geothermal heating, enough the melt the ticker ice sheets. This ranges in order of 50mW/m2 in East Antarctica and 70mW/m2 in West Antarctica.

Subglacial lakes form at the ice and substratum boundary, where the environmental temperature is at the melting point of ice. Due to the overlaying mass of ice, this temperature varies slightly, generating a pool of water that is isolated from external changes for millions of years. Over time the overlaying ice sheet gradually melts at rates of few mm per year (Fahnestock et al. 2001). Water begins to flow from high to low hydraulic potential in regions of low hydraulic potential gradient.

Subglacial lakes may be connected to each other; this behavior will likely play an important role for biogeochemical processes leading to changes in microbial habitat, and nutrient flushing.

Weathering processes

 * Table 6.2

How are they observed/studied
Radar datasets help identify previously unexplored regions, and have been instrumental in measuring changes in ice surface elevation generated by movement of subglacial water.

Radio Echo Sounder (RES) have been frequently used to find Antarctic lakes, and led to the discovery of the first subglacial lake in Greenland.

Additional notes

 * In the published version, merge where and how they are formed.
 * re-name bathymetry to Anatomy

Antarctica
There are three reasons for studying Antarctic lakes

 * The Antarctic sub-glacial lakes are an important component of the basal hydrology that impacts ice sheet dynamics
 * They contain some of the most extreme habitats on Earth
 * Any sediments found in the lake could compile a high-resolution record of the ice sheet dynamics

Why are they important
(UPDATE) They help us better understand the dynamic relationships between water, ice and earth within a subglacial biome, are high-resolution record keepers for climate change spanning hundreds to thousands of years.

List of images to add to main page

 * Figure 1 this indicates major discoveries of sub-glacial lakes
 * Figure 2 This indicates locations of Antarctic subglacial lakes. Markers indicates various methodologies utilized to find the lake. Black/triangle = radio-echo sounding, yellow = seismic sounding, green = gravitational field mapping, red/circle = surface height change measurement, square = shape identified from ice surface feature.

Cryptography/Timeline of Notable Events

The desire to keep stored or send information secret dates back into antiquity. As society developed so did the application of cryptography. Below is a timeline of notable events related to cryptography.

BCE

 * 3500s - The Sumerians develop cuneiform writing and the Egyptians develop hieroglyphic writing.
 * 1500s - The Phoenicians develop an alphabet
 * 600-500 - Hebrew scholars make use of simple monoalphabetic substitution ciphers (such as the Atbash cipher)
 * c. 400 - Spartan use of scytale (alleged)
 * c. 400BCE - Herodotus reports use of steganography in reports to Greece from Persia (tatoo on shaved head)
 * 100-0 - Notable Roman ciphers such as the Caeser cipher.

1 - 1799 CE

 * ca 1000 - Frequency analysis leading to techniques for breaking monoalphabetic substitution ciphers. It was probably developed among the Arabs, and was likely motivated by textual analysis of the Koran.
 * 1450 - The Chinese develop wooden block movable type printing
 * 1450-1520 - The Voynich manuscript, an example of a possibly encrypted illustrated book, is written.
 * 1466 - Leone Battista Alberti invents polyalphabetic cipher, also the first known mechanical cipher machine
 * 1518 - Johannes Trithemius' book on cryptology
 * 1553 - Belaso invents the (misnamed) Vigenère cipher
 * 1585 - Vigenère's book on ciphers
 * 1641 - Wilkins' Mercury (English book on cryptography)
 * 1586 - Cryptanalysis used by spy master Sir Francis Walsingham to implicate Mary Queen of Scots in the Babington Plot to murder Queen Elizabeth I of England. Queen Mary was eventually executed.
 * 1614 - Scotsman John Napier (1550-1617) published a paper outlining his discovery of the logarithm. Napier also invented an ingenious system of moveable rods (referred to as Napier's Rods or Napier's bones) which were a precursor of the slide rule. These were based on logarithms and allowed the operator to multiply, divide and calculate square and cube roots by moving the rods around and placing them in specially constructed boards.
 * 1793 - Claude Chappe establishes the first long-distance semaphore "telegraph" line
 * 1795 - Thomas Jefferson invents the Jefferson disk cipher, reinvented over 100 years later by Etienne Bazeries and widely used a a tactical cypher by the US Army.

1800-1899

 * 1809-14 George Scovell's work on Napoleonic ciphers during the Peninsular War
 * 1831 - Joseph Henry proposes and builds an electric telegraph
 * 1835 - Samuel Morse develops the Morse code.
 * c. 1854 - Babbage's method for breaking polyalphabetic cyphers (pub 1863 by Kasiski); the first known break of a polyaphabetic cypher. Done for the English during the Crimean War, a general attack on Vigenère's autokey cipher (the 'unbreakable cypher' of its time) as well as the much weaker cypher that is today termed "the Vigenère cypher". The advance was kept secret and was, in essence, reinvented somewhat later by the Prussian Friedrich Kasiski, after whom it is named.
 * 1854 - Wheatstone invents Playfair cipher
 * 1883 - Auguste Kerckhoffs publishes La Cryptographie militare, containing his celebrated "laws" of cryptography
 * 1885 - Beale ciphers published
 * 1894 - The Dreyfus Affair in France involves the use of cryptography, and its misuse, re: false documents.

1900 - 1949

 * c 1915 - William Friedman applies statistics to cryptanalysis ( coincidence counting, etc.)
 * 1917 - Gilbert Vernam develops first practical implementation of a teletype cipher, now known as a stream cipher and, later, with Mauborgne the one-time pad
 * 1917 - Zimmermann telegram intercepted and decrypted, advancing U.S. entry into World War I
 * 1919 - Weimar Germany Foreign Office adopts (a manual) one-time pad for some traffic
 * 1919 - Hebern invents/patents first rotor machine design -- Damm, Scherbius and Koch follow with patents the same year

 * 1931 - The American Black Chamber by Herbert O. Yardley is published, revealing much about American cryptography
 * 1940 - break of Japan's Purple machine cipher by SIS team
 * December 7, 1941 - U.S. Naval base at Pearl Harbor surprised by Japanese attack, despite U.S. breaks into several Japanese cyphers. U.S. enters World War II
 * June 1942 - Battle of Midway. Partial break into Dec 41 edition of JN-25 leads to successful ambush of Japanese carriers and to the momentum killing victory.
 * April 1943 - Admiral Yamamoto, architect of Pearl Harbor attack, is assassinated by U.S. forces who know his itinerary from decrypted messages
 * April 1943 - Max Newman, Wynn-Williams, and their team (including Alan Turing) at the secret Government Code and Cypher School ('Station X'), Bletchley Park, Bletchley, England, complete the "Heath Robinson". This is a specialized machine for cypher-breaking, not a general-purpose calculator or computer.
 * December 1943 - The Colossus was built, by Dr Thomas Flowers at The Post Office Research Laboratories in London, to crack the German Lorenz cipher (SZ42). Colossus was used at Bletchley Park during WW II - as a successor to April's 'Robinson's. Although 10 were eventually built, unfortunately they were destroyed immediately after they had finished their work - it was so advanced that there was to be no possibility of its design falling into the wrong hands. The Colossus design was the first electronic digital computer and was somewhat programmable. A epoch in machine capability.

 * 1969 - The first hosts of ARPANET, Internet's ancestor, are connected
 * 1974? - Horst Feistel develops the Feistel network block cipher design at IBM
 * 1976 - the Data Encryption Standard was published as an official Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) for the US
 * 1976 - Diffie and Hellman publish New Directions in Cryptography article
 * 1977- RSA public key encryption invented at MIT
 * 1981 - Richard Feynman proposes quantum computers. The main application he had in mind was the simulation of quantum systems, but he also mentioned the possibility of solving other problems.
 * 1986 In the wake of an increasing number of break-ins to government and corporate computers, the US Congress passes the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, which makes it a crime to break into computer systems. The law, however, does not cover juveniles.

 * 1994 - Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption protocol released by Netscape
 * 1994 - Peter Shor devises an algorithm which lets quantum computers determine the factorization of large integers quickly. This is the first interesting problem for which quantum computers promise a significant speed-up, and it therefore generates a lot of interest in quantum computers.
 * 1994 - DNA computing proof of concept on toy traveling salesman problem; a method for input/output still to be determined.
 * 1994 - Russian crackers siphon $10 million from Citibank and transfer the money to bank accounts around the world. Vladimir Levin, the 30-year-old ringleader, uses his work laptop after hours to transfer the funds to accounts in Finland and Israel. Levin stands trial in the United States and is sentenced to three years in prison. Authorities recover all but $400,000 of the stolen money.
 * 1994 - Formerly proprietary trade secret, but not patented, RC4 cipher algorithm is published on the Internet
 * 1994 - first RSA Factoring Challenge from 1977 is decrypted as The Magic Words are Squeamish Ossifrage
 * 1995 - NSA publishes the SHA1 hash algorithm as part of its Digital Signature Standard; SHA0 had a flaw corrected by SHA1
 * 1997 - Ciphersaber, an encryption system based on RC4 that is simple enough to be reconstructed from memory, is published on Usenet

Unlike all previous manual encryption techniques -- except the one-time pad -- this one is resistant to automated cryptanalysis. It is published in Neal Stephenson's Cryptonomicon (2000).

2000 and beyond

 * January 14, 2000 - U.S. Government announce restrictions on export of cryptography are relaxed (although not removed). This allows many US companies to stop the long running, and rather ridiculous process of having to create US and international copies of their software.
 * March 2000 - President Clinton says he doesn't use e-mail to communicate with his daughter, Chelsea Clinton, at college because he doesn't think the medium is secure.
 * September 6, 2000 - RSA Security Inc. released their RSA algorithm into the public domain, a few days in advance of their US patent 4405829 expiring. Following the relaxation of the U.S. government export restrictions, this removed one of the last barriers to the world-wide distribution of much software based on cryptographic systems. It should be noted that the IDEA algorithm is still under patent and also that government restrictions still apply in some places.
 * 2000 - U.K. Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000|Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act requires anyone to supply their cryptographic key to a duly authorized person on request
 * 2001 - Belgian Rijndael algorithm selected as the U.S. Advanced Encryption Standard after a 5 year public search process by National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST)

 * 2003 - CRYPTREC project releases 2003 report / recommendations
 * 2004 - the hash MD5 is shown to be vulnerable to practical collision attack
 * 2005 - potential for attacks on SHA1 demonstrated
 * 2005 - agents from the U.S. FBI demonstrate their ability to crack WEP using publicly available tools
 * 2007 - NIST announces NIST hash function competition
 * 2012 - proclamation of a winner of the NIST hash function competition is scheduled
 * 2015 - year by which NIST suggests that 80-bit keys for symmetric key cyphers be phased out. Asymmetric key cyphers require longer keys which have different vulnerability parameters.

Talk:3D scanning/Archive 1

old
I've been working with and doing some university research on 3D scanners and I remembered that I came here once for info on 3D scanning and the page was a stub. So here's some info to fill it in. Some parts that probably still need work are the sections on modulated light and passive scanners. I also don't have first-hand experience with industry applications of 3D scanners so maybe someone from industry can fill in more detail on that. -Jthg 07:06, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

It would be nice if someone could write a bit more about the pros and cons of various 3d scanners and how they compare to each other. Things like relative size and cost comparison of the different 3d scanner technologies would be helpful information in my opinion. Also I'd think it would be nice with a list of some common algorithms used for reconstruction, under the reconstruction section. I think 3d scanners are really interesting and I really hope to have one on my destkop in not too many years, so I think it would be nice to have some more information on which types are appropriate for which applications.

Vanity Links vs. Useful Wiki-bound links
Having just added some information on several examples of scanning firms considered to be important to the field, I see from this discussion that I should alter the external links to make them internal links - which I will do shortly. However, as this is a private investment-driven industry, the naming of certain firms as prime examples (particularly companies with large R+D departments such as Leica Geosystems, which I will also be adding an internal wiki link for on the page) is appropriate and consistent with the preexisting mentions of individual models of laser scanners on this page. Of course, this contention is open for debate. DuendeThumb (talk) 05:59, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

Volumetric Techniques
I think MRI and CT scans (and similar techniques) should be included on this page. Meekohi (talk) 20:36, 12 July 2008 (UTC)

Removed reference to a unknown paper
The removed paper seems a clear case of WP:COI: it was added twice by an user with the same name of one of the author of the paper. The paper is in Ukraine, and it is unknown to the scientific community: no other papers have never cited it, in other words it is a zero impact paper. Probably the paper author should stop trying to add it to this page. ALoopingIcon (talk) 17:27, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

request for adding citation
Dear editors, this is a request for adding a citation to the book Model-based Analysis and Evaluation of Point Sets from Optical 3D Laser Scanners (PDF copy) to the 3d scanner and point cloud articles.

Let me explain why I think that is a noticeable contribution for the 3d scanner and point cloud topics: Many researcher use 3d scanners of different types and from different companies which produce 3d point clouds. The entire point sets is usually pre-processed (approximated, smoothed, etc.) and finally meshed by polygonal representations in many other different ways. The mentioned book discusses the entire scan process for metrology applications with a special focus on all the steps between, i.e. system setup, calibration, scan line analysis, point cloud structures. It explains what additional knowledge about laser and camera parameters (positions, orientations), motion devices and multi-sensor interactions exists and how it can be used for an easier and significant faster data processing. In fact, it extends the typical 3D model acquisition pipeline by additional information from the scan system configuration. A description of these facts and with this complexity has never been addressed by others before.

chapter 2 (pp. 7-28) introduces algorithmic and technical foundations and gives a survey of common 3d scanning principles and surface reconstruction methods.

chapter 3 (pp. 31-46) discusses the scan data acquisition at the example of an optical 3d laser scanner in detail, which includes system setup and calibration and 3d data computation.

chapter 4 (pp. 47-64) deals with curve-based scan data analysis by approximating NURBS curves to the scan data in order to derive features like edges and corners.

chapter 5 (pp. 65-80) explains procedures for processing grids of scan lines by approximating NURBS patches in order to compute surface curvatures.

chapter 6 (pp. 83-102) discusses a variety of approaches for raw point cloud processing like tree-based data structures, graph representations, normal vector computation and optimization procedures like smoothing, correction and simplification and gives case studies.

chapter 7 (pp. 105-118) describes practical applications for the above methods at the example of two measuring machines developed for the industry.

If you think it is a noticeable contribution for the 3d scanner and point cloud articles then please add it as a general reference. Don't hesitate to contact me for further questions. Thank you for your time.--Cteutsch (talk) 11:47, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

Importance of applications
The quality control application is listed last in the applications section.

This is the opposite of the market for 3D scanners and software. the main market is quality control and check. Wikipedia's article should reflect this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bmunger (talk • contribs) 21:16, 15 April 2010 (UTC)

Canadian invention
I have removed the canadian invention category because i honestly think that 3d scanner technology is a too broad field for adding this category to the whole 3d scanning. As far as i known the canadian contribution was only in one of the many many possible particular techniques for recovering 3d shape (the article subject). In some sense adding the canadian invention category would be similar to adding that category to the whole battery (electricity) article. ALoopingIcon 20:20, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

You should add information about the Creaform 3D Device: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creaform_%283D%29 It's a technologies from the Province of Quebec who are use by engineers of Bombardier Aeronautic and doctors. —Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 23:07, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

Standards
This is a great article that must have taken someone some time to create. Good work!

I am an engineer who works directly with 3D scanners (mainly in industrial applications, but also in some high accuracy metrology applications). I am also heading an ASTM committee to develop standards for these types of instruments. I was going to start changing the article to better fit the current understanding of these instruments, but I thought I would start a discussion first so as not to raise too many eyebrows.

The ASTM committee is the E57 Committee on 3D Imaging Systems (http://www.astm.org/COMMIT/COMMITTEE/E57.htm). E57 is made up of roughly 150 members who represent many of the major hardware/software manufacturers and users of "3D scanners." As a group we have agreed that a more appropriate name for 3D scanners is "3D Imaging System" since the word scanner implies a scanning mechanism or process is involved, which is not the case for some of the types of instruments that fall under this category of instruments and also mentioned in the article.

In addition, some of the categorization of 3D scanners is slightly incorrect and would refer you to this report (http://www.fire.nist.gov/bfrlpubs/build04/PDF/b04032.pdf) from NIST which gives a good description of the various categories of instruments. The report is somewhat dated now as can be seen by the name used for these instruments in the title, but the categorization is still correct (an update to the report is also in the works).

I will likely slowly start editing this article unless there are major objections, but I was not sure how to handle the change in name to 3D Imaging System and how to link to other articles about "3D imaging." This being my first time editing in wikipedia, I would appreciate some guidance.

By the way, in ASTM E57's definition of 3D Imaging Systems MRI machines and CT scanners are included although no work is currently going on for those types of instruments. --Kamelsaidi (talk) 15:54, 5 October 2010 (UTC)

Biological technology appears to be on-topic
I realize this is a technology article, however biotechnology appears to cross into this article's territory as well. I don't see any reason why a discussion of biological eyes and brains would be considered off-topic for this article as a form of passive 3D scanner. In time such a section would likely grow big enough to spin off into an article of its own.

Probably the big hindrance for such adding section is that we still don't really understand 3D volume recognition of living biology, or how living neural networks are able to scan space and define objects in that space. All we can really say is that it exists as a capability of many living critters.

A number of systems use filtered photosensors in addition to a bit of ambient light. The time-of flight systems need a coherent wave, but the apperent color does not, so you can just use anything that can be co-registered with the range data (think webcam etc). --Meawoppl (talk) 20:01, 28 June 2014 (UTC)

Cryptography/Symmetric Ciphers

A symmetric key cipher (also called a secret-key cipher, or a one-key cipher, or a private-key cipher, or a shared-key cipher) Shared_secretis one that uses the same (necessarily secret) key to encrypt messages as it does to decrypt messages.

Until the invention of asymmetric key cryptography (commonly termed "public key / private key" crypto) in the 1970s, all ciphers were symmetric. Each party to the communication needed a key to encrypt a message; and a recipient needed a copy of the same key to decrypt the message. This presented a significant problem, as it required all parties to have a secure communication system (e.g. face-to-face meeting or secure courier) in order to distribute the required keys. The number of secure transfers required rises impossibly, and wholly impractically, quickly with the number of participants.

Formal Definition
Any cryptosystem based on a symmetric key cipher conforms to the following definition:
 * M : message to be enciphered
 * K : a secret key
 * E : enciphering function
 * D : deciphering function
 * C : enciphered message. C := E(M, K)
 * For all M, C, and K, M = D(C,K) = D(E(M,K),K)

Reciprocal Ciphers
Some shared-key ciphers are also "reciprocal ciphers." A reciprocal cipher applies the same transformation to decrypt a message as the one used to encrypt it. In the language of the formal definition above, E = D for a reciprocal cipher.

An example of a reciprocal cipher is Rot 13, in which the same alphabetic shift is used in both cases.

The xor-cipher (often used with one-time-pads) is another reciprocal cipher.

Reciprocal ciphers have the advantage that the decoding machine can be set up exactly the same as the encoding machine -- reciprocal ciphers do not require the operator to remember to switch between "decoding" and "encoding".

Symmetric Cypher Advantages
Symmetric key ciphers are typically much less computational overhead Overhead_(computing) than Asymmetric ciphers, sometimes this difference in computing overhead per character can be several orders of magnitude. As such they are still used for bulk encryption of files and data streams for online applications.

Use
To set up a secure communication session Session_key between two parties the following actions take place Transport_Layer_Security:
 * 1) Alice tells Bob (in cleartext) that she wants a secure connection.
 * 2) Bob generates a single use (session), public/private (asymmetric) key pair (Kpb Kpr).
 * 3) Alice generates a single use (session) symmetric key. This will be the shared secret (Ks).
 * 4) Bob sends Alice the public key (Kpb).
 * 5) Alice encrypts her shared session key Ks with the Public key Kpb  Ck := E(Ks, Kpb) and sends it to Bob
 * 6) Bob decrypts the message with his private key to obtains the shared session key  Ks := D(Ck, Kpr)
 * 7) Now Alice and Bob have a shares secret (symmetric key) to secure communication on this connection for this session
 * 8) Either party can encrypt a message simply by C := E(M, Ks) and decrypt is by M = D(C,K) = D(E(M,Ks),Ks)

This is the Basis for Diffie–Hellman Diffie_Hellman_key_exchange key exchange Key exchange and its more advanced successors Transport_Layer_Security.

Examples

 * DES
 * DES3
 * AES
 * TwoFish
 * BlowFish
 * Idea
 * Chameleon

David Ono is a Japanese American filmmaker and news anchor for KABC-TV Channel 7 in Los Angeles, California. He is the co-anchor for ABC7 Eyewitness News at 4 and 6 p.m. with Ellen Leyva. He also fills in for co-anchor Marc Brown at 5 and 11 P.M.

Early life
Born David Johnston in Japan to a Japanese mother and a Caucasian father, Ono moved to the United States with his family at age one. Raised in San Antonio, Texas, he attended the University of North Texas.

Ono stated that he had little contact with his Asian roots as his mother died young and he was raised in a community that was either Caucasian or Latino. Since moving to California he has embraced his biracial heritage and became involved in the Asian American Journalists Association. He adopted the last name Ono, his mother's maiden name, professionally during the early 1990s.

Career
Ono has also worked at KOVR in Sacramento, California, KDBC-TV in El Paso, Texas, KOSA-TV in Midland/Odessa, and KXAS-TV in Dallas. Having joined ABC's Los Angeles O&O KABC-TV in 1996, he has interviewed President Barack Obama and covered major international events, including the Boston Marathon bombing, the wedding of Prince William and Catherine Middleton, Hurricane Katrina, the 2010 Haiti earthquake and the 2011 Tōhoku tsunami. With Ono and sports anchor Rob Fukuzaki, ABC7 Eyewitness News is one of the few news programs in the country with two Asian American male anchors.

Outside of broadcasting, Ono has produced several documentaries chronicling the Asian American and immigrant experience, such as the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II and Phan Thi Kim Phuc, the "Napalm girl" from the Vietnam War. He and Jeff MacIntyre created the documentary The Legacy of Heart Mountain about the Japanese internment camp Heart Mountain Relocation Center. In the documentary he personally interviewed a number of survivors, including the mother of judge Lance Ito.

Awards
Ono has won three Edward R. Murrow Awards and 16 Emmys. In December 2015 he was honored by the Los Angeles chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists with the Distinguished Journalist Award.

In 2022, Ono received Japan's Order of the Rising Sun, Gold Rays with Rosette for his work promoting understanding of Japan in the United States and for his work within Japanese American community.

Wide area file services

Wide area file services (WAFS) products allow remote office users to access and share files globally at LAN speeds over the WAN. Distributed enterprises that deploy WAFS solutions are able to consolidate storage to corporate datacenters, eliminating the need to back up and manage data that previously resided in their remote offices. WAFS uses techniques such as SMB and MAPI protocol optimization, data compression, and sometimes storing recurrent data patterns in a local cache.

WAFS is a subset of WAN optimization, which also caches SSL Intranet as well as dynamic web page content and multimedia traffic generated by educational technology, to accelerate a greater percentage of WAN traffic.

The term was coined by Brad O'Neill of the analyst firm Taneja Group in a May 2004 article for InfoStor magazine.

Assignment #2
After reading through the Editing section of the interactive training, I felt fascinated by Wikipedia’s method of teaching novices how to edit and format on this website. At first, I was a bit puzzled on how to create a user page or even start a sandbox page. After watching some tutorials, which I found more helpful, I learned that a sandbox page is actually a space where one could edit or start a new article without the fear of it getting deleted. Additionally, the sandbox seems like a great concept because a user could keep their work on it until when they feel ready to have it go “live.” As for text editing portion of the interactive training, I found these tasks fairly easy to accomplish. It was interesting to discover how adding several apostrophes or equal signs could transform the way a word or a sentence looks. Moreover, learning how to compose wikilinks was also intriguing since Wikipedians could link other articles to their own; all a reader has to do is click on this link and it will direct them to the article they wants readers to view.

As for citing sources, it was interesting to discover that applying a “ref” tag could create a citation or footnote for a corresponding article. Since I wanted to learn more on how to edit on Wikipedia, I decided to begin the “More Markups” tutorial, which was the best part of this section. I impressed myself when I clicked the “Save Page” button and viewed what I had just modified. Overall, the editing section on Wikipedia’s was both understandable and entertaining. Also, it was helpful that Wikipedia provided links at the end of this module that would direct users to the Teahouse, the Help desk, or even the Help channel, where they could live chat with other users.

Ana L. Cortez (talk) 14:41, 10 February 2015 (UTC)

Reaction paper on the topic of the Editing section of the interactive training
When the Wikipedia training goes into the part about editing, I was afraid before I get start. The Getting Started section introduces me the basic tasks of editing and formatting tasks such as creating headers and editing subsections. The ways to use those basic tasks are similar to the way to use Microsoft Word. There are two types of edit, edit source and edit beta. I never know that there is a VisualEditor in Wikipedia, however it is disabled at English Wikipedia. I had tried to create my sandbox before I do the training, but it confused me. The sandbox looks like similar to the user page, but it is not. It is the place where we can practice for our editing and drafting before we release article to public. Also, there is a specific editing tutorial for the sandbox. Citation of sources is another important thing in editing Wiki. Putting information or sources that did not cite properly could against the Wikipedia policy. Actually citing sources is not as hard as I thought after I the training. There are only four steps to do the citation. It is easier for me to do the assignments after I review the Editing section in Wikipedia training. Now I know what a sandbox is and how it functions. I also know how to create my user page, change and edit in my page. When I post something on other user’s page, I found out that I have to sign for what I post. --Minyi Ruan (talk) 07:00, 11 February 2015 (UTC)

Assignment #3
After going over the rest of the interactive training modules, I felt very informed about Wikipedia’s purpose, which is to allow regular people to create reliable and informative articles for others to read. Throughout the last modules, they emphasized the importance of creating unbiased articles that contain dependable sources. It was very helpful that Wikipedia informed newcomers about what is considered a good article and how to identify a reliable source. Even after emphasizing it plenty of times, Wikipedia did not fail to discuss how unusable bad sources are.

It was interesting to discover that a user’s work can appear on Wikipedia’s main page as a “Did you know”article. In order to qualify, an article must go live from our sandbox in a certain amount of days. This article should basically comply with Wikipedia’s pillars, such as including reliable sources, citations, and most importantly, obey Wikipedia’s copy right regulations. Although the article may be short, I think this is a great opportunity to let others take a glimpse at your work.

I also decided to read over “Editing Wikipedia articles on Psychology,” which exemplified what a good article looks like and how to properly organize it. Whether the article is about a psychologist or a psychological condition, they provide a template that would help structure any article in psychology. I believe that this would be advantageous for users like me, and I will certainly reflect back on this text when we start editing.

Overall, I learned that everyone has to start from somewhere on Wikipedia, like editing stub articles. Obtaining a high article grading will not come easy, but is accessible, if the pillars are followed and most importantly, if the user puts a lot of effort into writing it. Ana L. Cortez (talk) 02:11, 23 February 2015 (UTC)

Assignment 3 Reaction paper
The third assignment was a challenge to me, because it was hard for a beginner to find an article and expand on it. First of all, I was confused for choosing a qualify article. There were certain requirements in article choosing. However, I felt more confidence to find an article after I finished the rest of Wikipedia training. The Medical topics section identified what are good and bad resources, and listed examples for both of them. It also provided a full guideline on identifying reliable medical sources. I think it will be more convenience to check whether my source will qualify or not. Secondary, some of the topics that I planed to expand were good topics. They were either highly controversial, or well developed already. I felt that it is not easy to get a good starting point that finding a good article. However, I found another amazing things later on the Help with choosing articles section. It not only tells beginners where should go when we have questions, it also provided the list of Stub categories for us to look up. I felt that I will use the Teahouse a lot later for my writing. Finally, the specialized help pages provided the best information in how to edit medical topics and book citing. There was a special link in editing Wikipedia articles on Psychology. I felt more confidence to do this project later, since there are many accessible resources in Wikipedia, the Teahouse and the Wikipedia content expert that I can contact with.

Editing a Wiki article
Hello Professor Ashton. I am not sure which topic would be okay for me to edit: vertical thinking or overexcitability ? I checked PsychINFO for articles pertaining overexcitability, the few I found belonged to education related journals. Can you please provide some feedback so I could start searching for sources? Thank you and I would appreciate your help.

--Ana L. Cortez (talk) 23:42, 9 March 2015 (UTC)

 * Dear Ana, Interesting. Vertical thinking is just another name for linear thinking (which is related to linear and nonlinear thinking). However, all of those terms are non-technical (that is non-psychological). Does that mean that you can't do it? Nope. You can! If you search in PsycInfo for "linear nonlinear thinking" you find a few hits in managerial psychology. So that's where you'll need to look for that. And notice that there are no Wikipedia pages on linear nor nonlinear thinking.

 * Overexcitability is a stub off the Positive Disintegration page. That page begins: "Unlike mainstream psychology, Dąbrowski's theoretical framework views psychological tension and anxiety as necessary for growth." So PD theory is not mainstream psychology. Kooky stuff? To continue on with this would require you to find material on overexcitability -- which may be difficult. Have you looked at the talk page on PD? Other editors say that it needs better writing.

Dr Ashton (talk) 19:20, 10 March 2015 (UTC)

Adding new article
Hi Professor Ashton; I am planning to use neutral stimulus as a new article to replace one of my articles. The article categorize under experimental psychology, but Wiki talk page shows that the article is within the scope of Wikiproject Medicine. Can I work on this article? Thank you for your help.--Minyi Ruan (talk) 21:01, 14 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Minyi - the co-listing is no problem, many areas of Psych overlap with medicine. I think the medicine tag was placed there to impose the medicine citation standards of wikipedia (there were problems with that over the last few years). This is definitely a psych topic. It's a very narrow topic. I checked out the Classical conditioning page and the other types of stimuli don't have their own pages Classical_conditioning. In fact, look at the talk page and you'll see that the lede paragraph is not liked, what's wrong with that is the first sentence which is just the basic definition. So I see opportunity for you! You could create pages for neutral stimulus, UCS, CS, UCR & CR; and rewrite the lede for the classical conditioning page! Dr Ashton (talk) 14:34, 16 March 2015 (UTC)

Hi Professor: Thank you for your advice. If so, can use the topic as my Good Article and start to create a new page for that? --Minyi Ruan (talk) 21:18, 16 March 2015 (UTC)
 * I would'nt say automatically that it's a good candidate for the GAS article. It might be. But it could be one of your 5 improvements. 2604:2000:1200:6169:95D8:CE6:391A:35D (talk) 21:38, 16 March 2015 (UTC)

Good article
Hi Professor Ashton: I found a personality theory which is an assumption from George Alexander Kelly, the Theory of Personal constructs. On George Alexander Kelly's Wiki page, the editor only provided some basic definitions for each corollaries. Can I use this theory as my Good Article topic? Thank you for your help. --Minyi Ruan (talk) 00:07, 21 March 2015 (UTC)

 * Yes, this page need expansion. BTW - I'm saying that out of personal bias. I actually have some copies of class handouts from Kelly's OSU courses (a friend was his student there, I'm much too young!). There are even corrections Kelly penciled in on the handouts. Besides my personal bias, PCP (Personal Construct Psychology) is a major school of psychotherapy in England. This article deserves expansion for that alone. Dr Ashton (talk) 18:56, 24 March 2015 (UTC)

Update #1
Hello Professor Ashton, I am still working on my 5 articles. I am also searching for literature reviews to back up the various primary sources I have found on PsychINFO. Additionally, I have created a sandbox draft for my potential "good" article on self system. I forgot to include the user prefix on that article but luckily a Wikipedia editor redirected the page to my sandbox and notified me about such action. Just to make sure, you still believe that the topic of self system is a workable topic? Thank you for your help and I will write to you again in the next couple of days. Ana L. Cortez (talk) 21:50, 24 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Yes, look at the ideas section on the Freud page, Sullivan's page can also be elaborated like that. Dr Ashton (talk) 18:37, 29 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks! I looked into two of my personality textbooks and found useful information regarding self-systems. I also realized that there isn't a wikipage for dynamisms in general since the self system is just one (but is the most complex) of the dynamisms. What do you think about this? Should I create a page for dynamisms instead?

Julie Otsuka a fiction writer who attended Yale and Columbia has won many awards for her works. Her first work, When The Emperor Was Divine is a book based on her family history, the US reaction to the Pearl Harbor bombing and the affect it had on Japanese-American families. The books' popularity is astounding selling over 300,000 copies; it has been translated into eight languages.

Julie Otsuka's previous works were mostly fiction-based and less serious like comics, but her stories from the internment camps would often come up. "When The Emperor Was Divine" was her first serious fiction novel where she talked about Japanese internment camps. With her background as a painter, Julie Otsuka's attention to detail and great descriptions give the reader vivid imagery to better understand different situations throughout her novels.

Ilias Kasidiaris

Ilias P. Kasidiaris (Ηλίας Π. Κασιδιάρης; born 29 November 1980) is a Greek politician and founder of the political party National Party – Greeks, formerly Greeks for the Fatherland. He was a member of the Greek parliament, and a convicted leader of the former leaders of the now disbanded criminal organization Golden Dawn. In October 2020, he was convicted of directing a criminal organization and sentenced to 13.5 years in prison, allegations for which he maintains his innocence.

Early and personal life
Ilias Kasidiaris was born on 29 November 1980 in Keratsini, Greece.

Kasidiaris' father, Panagiotis Kasidiaris, is a retired doctor while his mother is a teacher in philology with a specialization in archaeology. As a child he was attracted to gymnastics, martial arts, writing and history. For many years, he had been taking dance classes, including tango.

During his military service, he served in the 1st Raider/Paratrooper Brigade and more specifically in the 35th Commando Battalion in Cyprus. He holds a degree in agriculture with a speciality in food chemistry from the Agricultural University of Athens.

Political career
In an interview conducted by Nikos Evangelatos on Skai TV in May 2012, Kasidiaris declined to condemn Nazi leader Adolf Hitler and stated that "his role in history will be judged in time," and reiterated his stance against immigrants in Greece.

Kasidiaris quoted The Protocols of the Elders of Zion in a 23 October 2012 speech to parliament. Defending himself in a discussion of whether to lift his parliamentary immunity over his assault of Kanelli, he quoted the passage, "In order to destroy the prestige of heroism we shall send them for trial in the category of theft, murder and every kind of abominable and filthy crime." Kasidiaris, as well as two of his Golden Dawn colleagues, had their immunities stripped by a unanimous vote of the parliament.

In mid-2013, while in the parliament, Kasidiaris said that he and other members of parliament were Holocaust deniers.

Οn 17 September 2013, Kasidiaris and a number of other Golden Dawn lawmakers were arrested on 28 September 2013 on charges of belonging to a criminal organisation. The charge sheet included murder, extortion, and involvement in the disappearance of up to 100 migrants. On 2 October 2013, Ilias Kasidiaris was released on a 50,000 euro bail.

On 2 April 2014, Takis Baltakos and Ilias Kasidiaris were recorded on video discussing the incarceration of Golden Dawn lawmakers. Takis Baltakos, Samaras's most trusted adviser and chief of staff was filmed accusing Samaras of instigating a judicial inquiry against the Golden Dawn party for political gain. That week parliament voted to lift the immunity from prosecution of five Golden Dawn deputies. Justice Minister Athanasiou and Citizen Protection Minister Dendias were implicated in the video. Baltakos was forced to resign but then claimed that New Democracy and Golden Dawn has an informal alliance, with parliamentary voting support. The pre-trial detention and house arrest ahead of a trial was the most significant mass round-up of lawmakers since the military coup in 1967.

On 10 July 2014, Kasidiaris was taken into custody in Koridalos prison, on a charge of weapons possession with the intent to supply a criminal organisation. On 1 July 2015, Kasidiaris was released from custody after the council of appeals court judges deemed that "the legal weight" of the offense was not adequate to justify detention. Kasidiaris was required to report regularly to his local police station and under the conditions of his release was not allowed to visit Golden Dawns political offices.

On 15 July 2015, during rancorous debates in the Greek parliament on the passing of various bills required as a precursor to the commencement on negotiations to receive a third bailout of the Greek economy, Kasidiaris tore up papers during an speech.

On 18 December 2019, during the Golden Dawn trial, which had started in 2015, the prosecutor suggested that all defendants except Roupakias are found not guilty of murdering Pavlos Fyssas and all felonies. Among the defendants was Kasidiaris. However, on 7 October 2020, the jury verdict found Kasidiaris guilty of directing a criminal organization along with other members of Golden Dawn.

In 2020, Kasidiaris founded the National Party – Greeks. Following the exclusion of the National Party from both the May and June 2023 elections, Kasidiaris announced its "full support" for the Spartans political party. The Spartans party won 12 seats in the elections. In his first public statement after the election, Stigkas openly thanked Kasidiaris for "[being] the fuel that has propelled us to [entering parliament]". On 27 July 2023, Kasidiaris announced that he will run for mayor of Athens. The Spartans political party fully supported him. His candidacy was official on 10 August and he was registered as a candidate on 10 September. On election day, he received 8,5% of the vote or 11,643 votes and he was elected to the Athens municipal council.

Televised Dourou–Kanelli assault
On 7 June 2012, during a television appearance on ANT1, Kasidiaris, in response to a verbal disagreement, splashed a glass of water at Greek politician Rena Dourou, and then proceeded to slap Liana Kanelli multiple times after she struck him with a piece of paper.

The heated exchange was a fluid discussion focusing on the rights of immigrant workers vs right of the unemployed Greeks and the development of gas reservoirs in northern Crete eventually disintegrating from a heated debate to broken rhetoric from both sides about opinion on the Regime of the Colonels to the persecution of Golden Dawn activists. The discussion broke down when Kanelli referred to Kasidiaris as a "fascist" «φασίστα», Kasidiaris responded by derogatorily calling her «παλιοκομμούνι», that is, a "dirty communist". Dourou intervened and said there was a democratic crisis in Greece and that Golden Dawn would take the country back 500 years if they ever got into power, Kasidiaris threw the water at Dourou, and Dorou grinned at the subsequent scuffle as Kanelli hit Kasidiaris with a paper and Kasidiaris pushed her back and slapped her multiple times.

In Greece it was openly debated by the press whether Kasidiaris had been right or wrong and he was widely cheered online. In March 2015 Kasidiaris attended court to face charges of grievous bodily harm. Giorgos Papadakis, a presenter and journalist who witnessed the assault, stated that threats were also made to television crew and other employees.

A Facebook page dedicated to Kasidiaris picked up 6,000 'likes' within 24 hours. Kasidiaris was also awaiting trial for allegedly being the getaway driver for an armed assault on a university professor in Athens in 2007. He was found not guilty of all charges relating to the 2007 incident in March 2013, due to a lack of evidence against him.

Works
Kasidiaris has written seven books during his presence in Golden Dawn and his stay in prison.

My name is Chatchanee Karnasuta, my nick name is Eve. I am a 3rd year IB student at MUIC. I came from International school Bangkok and before that i went to Kasetsart University Lab. School. After I graduate, I plan to attend masters but still not sure where, probably in Europe or USA. However, if I get to work or intern, I would be glad to do as it gives me more experience.

I think I am a very quiet person, but I can be very talkative and playful with the person I already close to. I love to play sports, especially basketball. I participated as a varsity player during High school and went to tournament in Hong Kong and Phillipines, it was fun and good experience for me. Unfortunately at university I only get to play for MU team for one year during my second year because i lived far to university and i was busy.

During my free time, i like to travel both in THailand and outside Thailand because i felt that its a good outside of class experience and i get to see many new things which open up my point of view. While traveling, i like to take photos and I admire photographers and as well as like to look at others photos work.

Since I am already a third year student, I attend this class because I felt that computers are becoming very important both in my own life and in an organization. As I'm not so good in computers, I wanted to know more about it so that I could use it correctly and effectively. After one class, I felt that there are so many things about computers and I didn't know and I'm really exiting about know more. I think this class would help me improve on my computer skills. --Eveve20 16:42, 23 April 2010 (UTC)
