Met de opkomst van de cryptocurrency Bitcoin kwam ook de revolutionaire technologie in beeld; de blockchain. FIBER en de Brakke Grond presenteren een avond met de Vlaamse cyberfilosoof Michel Bauwens over de blockchain. Een gedecentraliseerde database die de basis vormt achter de controversiële Bitcoin.

The US Navy captured this Japanese RED cipher machine. Like its diplomatic counterpart, the Navy machine separated the alphabet into two subgroups. However, instead of using the Romanized spellings, it has a katakana keyboard. It is believed that due to the difficulty in using and maintaining this machine, the Navy RED saw little use by the Japanese fleet.

Red

The prototype machine was finally completed as 91-shiki injiki(九一式印字機) ("Type 91 print machine") in 1931. The year 1931 was year 2591 in the Japanese Imperial calendar. Thus it was prefixed "91-shiki" from the year it was developed.

The 91-shiki injiki Roman-letter model was also used by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs as Angooki Taipu-A (暗号機 タイプA) ("Type A Cipher Machine"), codenamed Red by United States cryptanalysts.

The Red machine was unreliable unless the contacts in its half-rotor switch were cleaned every day. It enciphered vowels (AEIOUY) and consonants separately, perhaps to reduce telegram costs, and this was a significant weak point. The Navy also used the 91-shiki injiki Kana-letter model at its bases and on its vessels.

Early Conlangs and Universal Languages: From Ancient Greece to 20th-Century America

 

Conlangs did not come into existence with Zamenhof’s Esperanto, Okrand’s Klingon and Tolkien’s Elvish. Language creation has been around since the first humans began connecting the sounds they uttered to things in the real world. The relationship between words and their meanings has been analyzed by philosophers for ages. Numerous authors long before Tolkien added constructed languages to their works to provide verisimilitude to their imaginary worlds. Many people have theorized and even created languages to be used as international, neutral forms of communication including Volapük, Interlingua, Ido, Latino sine Flexione, Novial, Occidental, and many more. These are the founders, philosophers, writers, and visionaries who laid the groundwork for the conlangers of today.

(Bottom) The Ban

For years, the subject of the origin of language AND the construction of universal languages was officially banned in academic circles. The 1866 constitution of the Société de linguistique de Paris bluntly stated...

 

[l]a Société n'admet aucune communication concernant, soit l'origine du langage, soit la création d'une langue universelle.

 

"The Society does not accept papers on either the origin of language or the creation of a universal language."

 

In 1872, the London Philological Society followed suit. Almost a century later, Noam Chomsky would echo this skepticism of research into the prehistory of language, and this would be enough to stifle this subject in academia for decades.

 

Luckily, the origin of language has now become a topic of serious academic research by noted linguists like Steven Pinker, Sue Savage-Rumbaugh, and Simon Kirby. The First Word by Christine Kenneally does a wonderful job of presenting the history of this debate and the current state of research.

 

In the realm of conlangs, the Internet has provided an unsurpassed opportunity for artificial languages to flourish. Entire web sites, forums, and listservs dedicated to (and written in) Esperanto, Klingon, and thousands of other personal and international languages are now commonplace online.

Jaina Lefevre pulls a cherry from her coke and takes a bite, putting the stem on the little napkin and chewing before taking a sip. She glances over at Deets and grins, bouncing a little. "Mama..can I has a netbook soon?"

 

Deets Carroll glances at the child. "A NETBOOK? Well... I suppose if you save up for one... What do you want a netbook for?"

 

Jaina Lefevre swallows the third? Fourth? cherry and piles up the stems. "School. I can finds more stuff online and I'm bored. I finished the puzzle book."

 

Deets Carroll hrrms. "Well, I suppose we can talk about it with Mommy Deb... you know, *I* never had a netbook when *I* was your age..." She had to build her own. From broken toasters. And she was GRATEFUL.

 

Lanaria Pera chuckles softly looking back at deets grining"when were you born again?"

 

Deets Carroll mock-glares at Lana. "Don't interrupt me when I'm mommying."

 

Jaina Lefevre looks up at Deets, bats her lashes and lets her lower lip quiver. "But..but...all th'other kids are slooower."

 

Lanaria Pera would snicker "yes ma'am. " and she'd give a mock salute, mouthing to jania she's ooollldd.

 

Jeffery Nubalo: smiles at the little girl answering her question "I was born back when dinasours roamed the earth" looks at her then back at the girl "and i would say she would be to"

 

Lanaria Pera would nod grining at jeff ya, lana would probably be too... except she cant remember how old she is.. or when her birthday is.. looking down her smile fading a little she goes back to wiping down the bar.

 

Deets Carroll sighs. "Well, let's talk to Mommy Deb about it. I don't want you spending all your time on the net. It's not healthy."

 

Jaina Lefevre blinks at Deets and nods, lowering her chin, but grinning at Lana through her bangs. She sips at her coke and then blurts. "Needs more books too...I gotta ask Mommy for the next book in th' class stuff she had on th'table."

 

Deets Carroll frowns, "Which class stuff is that?"

 

Jaina Lefevre stumbles over the words. "Mek-nyzed...war-fare. It was the book she left by the light. I didn't knowed they used dro...dr...how do you say that?"

 

Deets Carroll guesses. "Dromedaries? Druids? Drama teachers?"

 

Garthrim Ranger turns toward the little girl " Droids?"

 

Lanaria Pera would arch a brow looking back at deets "mechanized warfare? good lord deets what are you guys leaving lying aorund?

 

Jaina Lefevre shakes her head, getting frustrated. "Drow..nezz...things. No peoples in them. I figures it's got second class books for it 'cause this one said un-class-fied on the cover."

 

Deets Carroll waves a hand back at Lana. "Shush. The sex stuff is up high, out of reach."

 

Deets Carroll nods. "Drones?"

 

Garthrim Ranger Laughs " that will be the first things she gets her hands on"

 

Lanaria Pera arches a brow but shakes her head"ya. tell her where it is... "

 

Jeffery Nubalo: frowns shaking his head "who needs a book on mechanized warefar, what you need is Sun Tzu's Art of War"

 

Jaina Lefevre looks over at Jeff. "Already read dat one. Sounds like a bunch of cookie papers."

 

Deets Carroll studies the child. "Let's have a long talk with Mommy Deb. We need to figure out what you should be learning. What do *you* want to learn about?"

 

Lanaria Pera shakes her head again "where did you find her again?... most kids her age should be interested in dolls. and playing.. '

 

Jeffery Nubalo: raises an eyebrow "cookie paper? one of the best generals ever to have lived"

 

Jaina Lefevre looks up at Deets, expression serious. "Everythin'. Not clay and bottles and doors. That's dumb baby stuff." She sips her soda and then glances over at Jeff. 'Uh huh. Tells ya somethin', if ya think he was the best. He died like twenty-four hunnert years ago."

 

Deets Carroll grins at the child's assessment. "Okay, let's look at it this way. Suppose you could learn everything? What would you want to learn first?" She waves the Garth as she departs.

 

Jeffery Nubalo: smiles "i know what she wants to learn" chuckles "she wants to learn Mathematics and Poly Science"

 

Jaina Lefevre waves to Garth and then looks back at Deets. "Um...puzzles. And guns and how t'fix peoples...and stuff like that."

 

Jaina Lefevre glances over to Jeff. "Crypt-graffy."

 

Jeffery Nubalo: smiles "computer cryptography, i would love to teach someone about what i do with computers"

 

Jaina Lefevre shakes her head at Jeff. "Nuh uh. Spy stuff. So's I can help Mommy."

 

Lanaria Pera just looks back at the girl with a smile "you may not be an alien.. but your an odd little girl.. "

 

Deets Carroll nods. "Well, you would need math for that. A lot of it. That's a good start. And being a doctor is a good thing, too." She considers. "How about... suppose you could write stories? Suppose you could write such good stories that people would laugh, or cry, when they read them?"

 

Jaina Lefevre looks at Deets. "Why? Most stories is dumb." She makes a face and recites "See the dog. The dog is brown. He is tired. He ran far." She rolls her eyes. "Or th'poem stories. Those are even more dumb."

 

Deets Carroll shrugs, "Maybe you just haven't read the right stories. A good storyteller can change people's minds about something. Influence them to see things the way the writer wants them to." It was pretty obvious the child wasn't inclined that way.

 

Jaina Lefevre ohs to Deets. "I dooze that by talkin' to them. It's easier." She grins and finishes the coke. "I think Nanny flunked her test, Mama. Does this mean I get a new Nanny?"

 

Deets Carroll frowns. "Maybe it was YOUR test, too. I don't think we can get you a new nanny if you keep losing them. Maybe it would be best if you lived with Mommy in the BlackStar compound."

 

Jaina Lefevre sighs "Not my fault she was suckin' face with Nick all the time and now she's gonna make a brat."

 

Jaina Lefevre moves to give Deets a hug and a kiss and slides off the bar with her help. 'I'll take Nanny home now so she can keep pukin in the bathroom and I can reads s'more. Love you, Mama...Bye Lana. By Mister Jeff."

 

Deets Carroll looks pointedly at the child. "If you're so smart, maybe it *should* be your fault." Kid may be smart, but she's getting too big for her britches.

The US Navy captured this Japanese RED cipher machine. Like its diplomatic counterpart, the Navy machine separated the alphabet into two subgroups. However, instead of using the Romanized spellings, it has a katakana keyboard. It is believed that due to the difficulty in using and maintaining this machine, the Navy RED saw little use by the Japanese fleet.

Red

The prototype machine was finally completed as 91-shiki injiki(九一式印字機) ("Type 91 print machine") in 1931. The year 1931 was year 2591 in the Japanese Imperial calendar. Thus it was prefixed "91-shiki" from the year it was developed.

The 91-shiki injiki Roman-letter model was also used by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs as Angooki Taipu-A (暗号機 タイプA) ("Type A Cipher Machine"), codenamed Red by United States cryptanalysts.

The Red machine was unreliable unless the contacts in its half-rotor switch were cleaned every day. It enciphered vowels (AEIOUY) and consonants separately, perhaps to reduce telegram costs, and this was a significant weak point. The Navy also used the 91-shiki injiki Kana-letter model at its bases and on its vessels.

In case you're wondering.....

Essentially, quantum cryptography is based on the usage of individual particles/waves of light (photon) and their intrinsic quantum properties to develop an unbreakable cryptosystem.

About this book: this book provides an in-depth study into physiognomy. As quoted from the AbeBooks.com seller in Germany: “Della Porta preceded Lavater in attempting to estimate human character by the features. This is one of the first works on the ancient science of physiognomy to be extensively illustrated (G.-M).”

 

Giambattista della Porta (also known as Giovanni Battista Della Porta) was an Italian scholar, playwright and polymath. He studied many subjects, particularly the sciences, mathematics and the occult. He was sometimes referred to as the “professor of secrets.” He was born into an artistic and highly educated family from Vico Equense, near Naples. His books and plays covered diverse subjects including hydraulics, cryptography, comedies, physiognomy, astrology, philosophy and scientific inventions (Wikipedia).

 

According to Wikipedia, physiognomy is “the assessment of a person’s character or personality from his or her outer appearance, especially the face.” This study has fallen in and out of favor over time. There is no clear evidence that physiognomy is scientifically sound. In this book, Porta used animals to illustrate human characteristics and often compared the appearance of humans and animals side by side.

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!

Bletchley Park és un dels llocs més fascinants de la història del segle XX. Aquí, durant la II Guerra Mundial i buscant la manera de desxifrar els codis militars alemanys, en sorgí la informàtica i els ordinadors.

 

Aquí podeu veure una vista general dels blocs construits a partir de 1941 per encabir el creixent personal del que es coneixeria posteriorment com "Station X".

Bletchley Park is one of the most amazing historical places related to the XX Century in general and to WWII in particular. Here, during the colossal effort to crack the german military codes, computers and computing science were born (or at least had their main intial development).

 

Here you can see some of the wartime blocks (in fact A Block - Naval Intelligence) build after 1940, in order to cope with the increasing staff of what was known as the GC&CS, but his actual famous name is Station X.

Signal Design for Good Correlation

For Wireless Communication, Cryptography, and Radar

"This book provides a comprehensive, up-to-date description of the methodologies and the application areas, throughout the range of digital communication, in which individual signals and sets of signals with favorable correlation properties play a central role. The necessary mathematical background is presented to explain how these signals are generated, and to show how they satisfy the appropriate correlation constraints. All the known methods to obtain balanced binary sequences with two-valued autocorrelation, many of them only recently discovered, are presented in depth. The authors treat important application areas including: Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) signals, such as those already in widespread use for cell-phone communication, and planned for universal adoption in the various approaches to 'third-generation'(3G) cell-phone use; systems for coded radar and sonar signals; communication signals to minimize mutual interference ('cross-talk') in multi-user environments; and pseudo-random sequence generation for secure authentication and for stream cipher cryptology."

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.

An observation from someone who is not an expert in cryptography: Cryptography is about converting order (a written or spoken message) to disorder (an encrypted communication with no clear patterns) and vice versa. Thus, I find it interesting that a number of tools for cryptography—especially prior to the digital age—have a physical order or pattern.
