There is, I think, something ethereal about i —the square root of minus one. I remember first hearing about it at school. It seemed an odd beast at that time—an intruder hovering on the edge of reality.

Usually familiarity dulls this sense of the bizarre, but in the case of i it was the reverse: over the years the sense of its surreal nature intensified. It seemed that it was impossible to write mathematics that described the real world in …

Resolving the molecular details of proteome variation in the different tissues and organs of the human body will greatly increase our knowledge of human biology and disease. Here, we present a map of the human tissue proteome based on an integrated omics approach that involves quantitative transcriptomics at the tissue and organ level, combined with tissue microarray-based immunohistochemistry, to achieve spatial localization of proteins down to the single-cell level. Our tissue-based analysis detected more than 90% of the putative protein-coding genes. We used this approach to explore the human secretome, the membrane proteome, the druggable proteome, the cancer proteome, and the metabolic functions in 32 different tissues and organs. All the data are integrated in an interactive Web-based database that allows exploration of individual proteins, as well as navigation of global expression patterns, in all major tissues and organs in the human body.

Cryptosystem designers frequently assume that secrets will be manipulated in closed, reliable computing environments. Unfortunately, actual computers and microchips leak information about the operations they process. This paper examines specific methods for analyzing power consumption measurements to find secret keys from tamper resistant devices. We also discuss approaches for building cryptosystems that can operate securely in existing hardware that leaks information.

Differential Power Analysis

The present study examined the extent to which increased liking of exposed stimuli*the mere exposure effect*is dependent on experiencing the stimuli in the same context in exposure and on test. Participants were repeatedly exposed to pairs of cues (nonsense words) and target stimuli (faces and shapes), and were asked to rate the pleasantness of the target stimuli in a subsequent test phase. Familiar targets were preferred to novel targets*a mere exposure effect was obtained. This

Eliminating the mere exposure effect through changes in context between exposure and test.

Cryptography underlies the provision of security for just about every kind of communications network, and mobile networks are no exception. Just about every chapter in this volume makes use of cryptographic techniques and terminology, with which the reader is assumed to have a basic familiarity. The role of this preliminary chapter is to provide a very brief introduction to cryptography. Whilst reading this chapter is no substitute for a more detailed study of the subject, the main terms are introduced, with the goal of enabling much of the remainder of the book to be understood. There are many books on cryptography, and the interested reader is strongly encouraged to consult these books to gain a better grasp of the topic. Two books that can be recommended are Piper and Murphy's recent brief introduc tion to cryptography, which provides a basic introduction to the main concepts of cryptography, and Menezes, van Oorschot and Vanstone's encyclopaedic work on cryptography, which, despite now being some six years old, remains an enormously reliable source of information on all aspects of cryptography.

Cryptography for mobile security

An authentication system is disclosed for use in authenticating an entity to a relying party, to enable the entity to access a protected resource provided by the relying party via a web page, comprising an authentication component installable in a web browser used by the entity to access the web page, the authentication component comprising (a) a page scanner component which is operable when the entity accesses the web page to scan the web page (and/or to ask the entity) to identify a plurality of authentication systems supported by the web page; and (b) an activator component which is operable when the entity accesses the web page to install an identity system selector component in the web page which is operable to interact with the entity to enable the entity to select which of the plurality of authentication systems to use.

Text password is a very common user authentication technique. Users face a major problem, namely that of managing many site-unique and strong (i.e. non-guessable) passwords. One way of addressing this is by using a password generator, i.e. a client-side scheme which generates (and regenerates) site-specific strong passwords on demand, with minimal user input. This paper gives a detailed specification and analysis of AutoPass, a novel password generator scheme. AutoPass has been designed to address issues identified in previously proposed password generators, and incorporates novel techniques to address these issues. Unlike almost all previously proposed schemes, AutoPass enables the generation of passwords that meet important real-world requirements, including forced password changes, use of pre-specified passwords, and passwords meeting site-specific requirements.
