During World War II the German Army used the SZ40 for high-level communications. It provided on-line encryption and decryption of messages and was capable of handling large volumes of traffic at high speed.
Built by the German firm Lorenz, the SZ40 depended on wheels for its encryption/decryption. It encrypted elements of the electrically generated “Baudot Code” used in normal telegraphic transmissions (e.g., teletype). By adding the numeric representations of two letters together, a third letter was created. The wheels generated the key. Although highly complex, the use of wheels meant the key was not random.

Example of Locky ransomware.
Locky is ransomware malware released in 2016. It is delivered by email and after infection will encrypt all files that match particular extensions.
After encryption, a message (displayed on the user's desktop) instructs them to download the Tor browser and visit a specific criminal-operated Web site for further information.
The current version, released in December 2016, utilizes the .osiris extension for encrypted files.
Many different distribution methods for Locky have been used since the ransomware was released. These distribution methods include Word and Excel attachments with malicious macros,DOCM attachments and zipped JS Attachments.

If looking for the best hard drive encryption software for Windows, Microsoft BitLocker is the ideal choice. It is a full-volume encryption tool that uses the AES encryption algorithm to ensure complete data protection. However, managing BitLocker's implementation is itself challenging, which can be simplified with the centralized cloud-based tool-BitTruster.

Quantum computing represents a groundbreaking advancement in technology, deeply intertwined with the concepts of superposition, entanglement, and interference from quantum physics. Unlike classical computing, which processes information in a linear fashion using bits (0s and 1s), quantum computing utilizes quantum bits or qubits that can exist in multiple states simultaneously. This enables quantum computers to perform numerous calculations at once, effectively navigating through a vast landscape of potential solutions.
The idea of parallel timelines can be likened to the way quantum computers operate. Each decision or computation can be viewed as branching into multiple outcomes, similar to how different timelines might unfold based on various choices. This means that a quantum computer can explore various paths to a solution simultaneously, leading to remarkable efficiencies in solving complex problems.
In practical terms, this capability could revolutionize fields such as cryptography, where quantum computers may break existing encryption methods faster than classical computers. In material science, they could simulate quantum phenomena to discover new materials with desirable properties. Additionally, in optimization problems across various industries, quantum computing offers the potential to find the most efficient solutions more rapidly than traditional methods.
In summary, the link between quantum computing and the concept of parallel timelines highlights a fascinating intersection of technology and theoretical physics, suggesting that our understanding of reality may be more complex and interconnected than we previously imagined.

Looking to the NE from near the crest.
The reason these old images are in my stream is due to the fact I fixed a 2 terabyte hard that had all this stuff on it.
I will not buy anything made by Western Digital ever again.
The kids knocked the hard drive off the desk and the USB connector broke.
There ain't no way to put that tiny thing back on there without some very intricate soldering under a microscope. I took the case off and realized it's just a SATA drive with some added hardware. I took the hardware off and plugged it into my desktop.
No data detected! Uh oh, this hard drive had stuff I could not afford to lose.
It turns out that the hardware I took off is some kind of encryption device that I did not know about or want on my computer. The USB power goes through it before the hard drive will run. When I called Western Digital tech support and told them my situation they told me to go to their "business partner" who would retrieve my data for 450 bucks.
That's the kind of mind-set I have a problem with.
Oh yeah, when I hooked it up without that hardware it overwrote the Master Boot Record on the drive and now I am really screwed. I went online and eventually figured out how to fix all this but it was a real pain in the ass.
They lost me as a customer for good and I had three of these external drives.
I will make sure that my hard drives are made by someone else.

THE CRYPTO ANARCHIST MANIFESTO
by
Timothy C. May
(tcmay@netcom.com)
A specter is haunting the modern world, the specter of crypto anarchy.
Computer technology is on the verge of providing the ability for individuals and groups to communicate and interact with each other in a totally anonymous manner. Two persons may exchange messages, conduct business, and negotiate electronic contracts without ever knowing the True Name, or legal identity, of the other. Interactions over networks will be untraceable, via extensive re- routing of encrypted packets and tamper-proof boxes which implement cryptographic protocols with nearly perfect assurance against any tampering. Reputations will be of central importance, far more important in dealings than even the credit ratings of today. These developments will alter completely the nature of government regulation, the ability to tax and control economic interactions, the ability to keep information secret, and will even alter the nature of trust and reputation.
The technology for this revolution--and it surely will be both a social and economic revolution--has existed in theory for the past decade. The methods are based upon public-key encryption, zero-knowledge interactive proof systems, and various software protocols for interaction, authentication, and verification. The focus has until now been on academic conferences in Europe and the U.S., conferences monitored closely by the National Security Agency. But only recently have computer networks and personal computers attained sufficient speed to make the ideas practically realizable. And the next ten years will bring enough additional speed to make the ideas economically feasible and essentially unstoppable. High-speed networks, ISDN, tamper-proof boxes, smart cards, satellites, Ku-band transmitters, multi-MIPS personal computers, and encryption chips now under development will be some of the enabling technologies.
The State will of course try to slow or halt the spread of this technology, citing national security concerns, use of the technology by drug dealers and tax evaders, and fears of societal disintegration. Many of these concerns will be valid; crypto anarchy will allow national secrets to be traded freely and will allow illicit and stolen materials to be traded. An anonymous computerized market will even make possible abhorrent markets for assassinations and extortion. Various criminal and foreign elements will be active users of CryptoNet. But this will not halt the spread of crypto anarchy.
Just as the technology of printing altered and reduced the power of medieval guilds and the social power structure, so too will cryptologic methods fundamentally alter the nature of corporations and of government interference in economic transactions. Combined with emerging information markets, crypto anarchy will create a liquid market for any and all material which can be put into words and pictures. And just as a seemingly minor invention like barbed wire made possible the fencing-off of vast ranches and farms, thus altering forever the concepts of land and property rights in the frontier West, so too will the seemingly minor discovery out of an arcane branch of mathematics come to be the wire clippers which dismantle the barbed wire around intellectual property.
Arise, you have nothing to lose but your barbed wire fences!

You may be asking yourself, "what are bitcoins?"
My bitcoin address:
1H76GsGpfkyg2PtwnsZnTYgED3NinWgsG6
Bitcoins are a new kind of electronic money. You can trade money for them, use them to pay for things, and trade them for money. This is one technology, that in the late 90's many people speculated about, but which had not manifested until recent years.
I am studying computer programming, but I'm only the barest beginner, so I'm not qualified to explain every detail about how bitcoin works. But I've been aware of it for some time, at least several months, and I've had some time to watch it go from being unknown, to being relatively valuable against the US Dollar, and accepted as a form of payment worldwide.
Bitcoin is described as a crypto-currency, but as far as I can see, encryption is not really the main reason why it works and is secure. The real strength of bitcoin is its distributed ledger. While most electronic funds rely on a central, highly trusted institution to keep a ledger of transactions, like a bank, to ensure that people don't spend the same dollar twice, for instance, bitcoin instead relies on a peer-to-peer network to verify transactions, and keeps a ledger distributed across the network. This means that if someone tries to spend a bitcoin twice, the second transaction will not be recognized by the network. This system is secure enough that it enables people holding bitcoins to make a backup file of them, so that if their computer went down they would not lose their money. This backup can even be kept on permanent portable media, like a flash drive or cdROM. Ledgend has it the identifiers for your bitcoins can even be printed out on paper, and buried in the backyard in an old shoebox. I haven't been using bitcoins long enough to know if that is true or not, so if some folks will send me some, I plan to try it out.
There are two other keys to the value of bitcoins, that the amount of them is capped at 21 million. Therefore they remain scarce. Unlike the US Dollar, which can be created at will as electronic bank entries, they will not become worthless, through over-production.
However, note this well, so that you don't appear foolish in arguments on your favorite web forums: Even though the quantity of bitcoins is fixed, bitcoins are divisible into extremely small fractions. This means that the quantity of bitcoins in existence, and the value of each "bitcoin unit" is irrelevant to their ability to function as a medium of exchange. If one bitcoin were worth 1 cent, or if it were worth a million dollars, you would still be able to use them both to buy a house in a lump sum, and also buy a cup of coffee.
One caveat about bitcoins, followed by an observation of why it is of limited relevance: To date, the price of bitcoins has either been very low per unit, or has swung wildly between $40 per Bitcoin up to $266. per Bitcoin. The lesson here is that we should be cautious about considering bitcoins to be a stable store of value, which is one of the functions we are used to thinking of as necessary for our money. However, note that with a little creative pricing and wary understanding of common risks in the market, this need not prevent bitcoin from serving the other major function of a currency; its role as a medium of exchange.
Since bitcoins are no more intrinsically valuable than any other monetary unit, the only way they have value is if people want them. (And I DO!) So, in that sense nothing is backing them but people's desire to have them, either to keep or to use. The same is true of Gold, Seashells or Dollars. The price of any commodity, even those commodities we decide to use for money, always tends to fluctuate relative to other commodities. In your RPG you may be able to exchange silver for gold at a fixed rate. You may exchange Euros for Dollars at a fixed rate during your vacation abroad, but if you look at the finance pages you'll notice that the exchange rate is always changing. Slightly if you're lucky, perhaps in your favor. But which is more true? That the dollar is falling or rising? Or that the Euro is falling or rising? Is Gold falling or rising, or is it the dollar? Did the price of gas go up at the local station, or did the Dollar go down relative to the world economy? I think it is accurate to say that most of the time it is at least a little bit of both, or all of these. And so it is with bitcoin.
But so long as people are willing to trade you bitcoin for dollars or vice versa, you can use bitcoin to facilitate transactions without having to hold onto it as a store of value. You could see an item for sale on the internet, its price is listed in dollars, but bitcoin is given as the preferred method of payment. You convert your money to bitcoin, at whatever the current rate is, pay in bitcoin, and perhaps the person on the other end does the reverse, converting bitcoin to their local currency, and neither of you take any losses (or gains!) due to the fluctuating price of bitcoin. Someone out there, however, will be willing to risk those losses or gains, just as there are with any commodity or currency in the world. They are sometimes willing to hold payments in escrow, ensuring both parties to a transaction are pleased with the bargain.
In these ways it is possible to separate the unit of account (store of value) function of a currency from its function as a medium of exchange.
Bitcoin is valuable because it is useful. It is useful for some of the same reasons that email is useful, or web publishing is useful. Because it helps things move more quickly, with less friction, at a lower cost, and makes things that in the past only a few people could do, something that many people can do.
Its adoption is being fueled by the fact that it is the native currency of the internet. And like the internet it flows wherever information flows. It crosses borders frictionlessly. It helps people build small things, and it helps small things become big things.
At last we have a realization of a mechanism that allows those long dreamed-of micropayments, because bitcoin is extremely divisible, and because transaction fees in it are extremely low, or sometimes absent. Merchants who are used to credit card processing fees are quickly taking notice of the gains that can be made by switching to a payment method without fees. Not to mention that it is a payment method without reverses or charge-backs.
This is the currency you can send someone in an e-mail, or pay in person using a smartphone.
One other benefit of bitcoin is that it enables anonymous transactions. The astute reader will realize from my earlier description of the strengths of bitcoin's workings that all bitcoin transactions leave a trail that is retained in the distributed network, so great caution should be used before one assumes that their transactions are safely anonymous. However, with the ease of creating bitcoin addresses, the fact that they need not be associated with any identifying information, not even email, that they could potentially be purchased from any Joe with bitcoins that you meet by chance at the park, psudonymity is a very real, very strong possibility.
So I hope that I've piqued your curiosity, and that you will try Bitcoins. And if you want to give me some, that's cool too. My newly created bitcoin address:
1H76GsGpfkyg2PtwnsZnTYgED3NinWgsG6
And if you would rather exchange value for value, give me bitcoins only if I give you something, well, I am a pretty good logo designer, I know lots about 3D animation, can sculpt in ZBrush and import meshes and textures into SecondLife. I can create custom seamless textures, I'm a decent photographer, and enjoy portrait work, and sports photography, and would love to do weddings. I'm also learning Java, and have a slew of other interests.

The Electronic Associates, Inc. Pace TR-10 general-purpose analog computer, introduced in 1959, used electrical components and circuits to provide solutions for mathematical equations. A mathematician, scientist, or engineer plugged modules into the TR-10, connected sections of the TR-10 with cables, and adjusted the parameter knobs at the top to represent a mathematical equation and its input parameters. The resulting voltages provided the solution to the equation. The TR-10 was capable of solving 10th order differential equations.
To provide a sense of life as an engineer before the digital age, here is an excerpt from the TR-10 manual:
------------------------------
New EAI computer puts the advantage of analog computation right at your desk. Accurate up to 0.1%, it is capable of performing the mathematical operations of summation, integration, sign changing, multiplication, division, and function generation; those operations required in the solution of most of your routine engineering problems. Differential equations, basic to most engineering problems, can now be solved with surprising rapidity. Even if you have never seen a computer before, you can learn to operate the TR-10 as easily as you learned to use a slide rule.
You simply turn a knob to feed in design parameters. The computer provides an instant-by-instant dynamic picture of the effect of each change. You can study relationships of heat, pressure, flow, vibration, torque or any other variable. And you can visually compare one with the other. This new insight into the behavior of differential equations helps you to arrive at solutions faster … easier.
Because of its unique portability, this compact computer can become your personal tool. Carried right to your desk, it can be used to solve your day-to-day problems, saving you time and eliminating the drudgery of repetitive hand calculations. By allowing you to spend more of your time on creative engineering, it can enhance your value as an engineer.
