Mathematics plays a big role in encryption algorithms.



When hackers broke the Pentagon's top-secret quantum encryption algorithm in less than an hour. We are facing one thing. People who are making algorithms are not good at mathematics. 

Theoretically, extremely long (quantum) prime numbers are effective tools for ASCII code multiplication and division. They should make the code unbreakable. 

But there is one thing that we must realize: if the prime number is easy to guess even the best of the algorithms are useless. The heart of the encryption software is the prime number generator. That prime number generator is the equation that forms prime numbers. And then the system multiplicates ASCII codes with those prime numbers. 

The equation that creates the prime number is normally the Riemann hypothesis (conjecture). If the user waits too short a time. The computer will not generate enough prime numbers. And in that case, the attacker can use brute force for breaking the code. In that case, the attacking computer just creates prime numbers. Then it just tries those prime numbers to message that operators want to break. 

There are encryption programs that use different prime numbers for each letter. And that makes encryption harder to break. But the fact is that Riemann's conjecture is at the end of its route. Faster and faster computers can make brute force attacks easier than elder computers. 

The problem with algorithms is that they must make very carefully. If there are errors in the code that algorithm will not work. And the heart of those algorithms is a mathematical formula that must make by using pinpoint accuracy. And if there are errors in that formula the entire algorithm is useless. 

Binary computers handle only numeric data. And this is the thing that makes coding the encryption algorithms very hard to make. If there are some kind of errors or the chosen formula is wrong for that purpose, the algorithm cannot protect information. If one multiplication mark turns into a division mark. That thing turns the algorithm useless. 

Also, algorithms can turn weak if the people who are using them must call things like passwords from some computer center. And those things cause a big risk that somebody can break the code simply by asking passphrase by using the telephone. 

That kind of backdoor offers the possibility. That somebody breaks the code or steals the information by using some other method than regular brute force. And if there are errors in electrical or physical protocol there is the possibility that somebody just cheats the data security team, and orders the username and password themselves.

Could this be the thing, that some people don't want you to know about zombies?

Could this be the thing, that some people don't want you to know about zombies? The simplest way to control zombies, which are made by using tetrodotoxin, which is called "zombie poison" is to use the automatic dispenser, which is normally used in diabetes treatment. In this case, the dispenser would be loaded by using tetrodotoxin. If the level of this poison is right, the person would be totally under the control of other people. And if the system cannot detect this poison there is a possibility to make the laboratory experiment when the staff will follow the decrease of the tetrodotoxin, and then the system can use a simple clock, which will inject poison to the body of a victim after a certain time. This would be an effective tool in the hands of military and counter-terror operators. Those zombies can be captured enemy operators, who will send back, and then they just kill their ex-partners. By using genetically engineered bacteria could be possible to create t...

The story of (Northrop?) TR3A "Black Manta"

    Image I The story of (Northrop?) TR3A "Black Manta" Sometimes there have been discussions that the mysterious TR3A "Black Manta" was a study project for the B-2 bomber.  That means that TR3A was used as the flying mockup for testing the aerodynamic and control solutions for the B-2 "Spirit" bomber. The thing that supports this thing is that the manufacturer of both planes is Northrop corporation.  Along with "Aurora" was flying one other mysterious aircraft, TR3A "Black Manta". The system is described as the "Stealth VTOL" (Vertical Take-Off and Landing) aircraft. Unless the mysterious TR3B, the Northrop TR3A is the conventional VTOL-aircraft, what is using regular jet engines, but what has the stealth-body.  Image II The thing is that the stealth-reconnaissance aircraft, which uses a similar technology with the Northrop B-2 bomber would be an interesting part of the weapon arsenal. There is a possibility that the TR3A was...

Terrifying visions of genetic engineering.

 Terrifying visions of genetic engineering.  The modern Hounds of Baskerville ABW:s (Advanced biological weapons are the modern Hounds of Baskerville. The term ABV means the animal which is genetically engineered. And which is controlled by using some interactive electronic systems. There is a possibility to connect the action camera to dogs collars. And transmit commands to that animal by using electronic systems. Spoken words can use to the commands.  Or they can be a series of sounds that are stored in the sound files. When the operator activates a certain file that sound means a certain command to the animals. There is the possibility to automatize some commands by connecting the system to the image recognition tool. When the action camera sees something that is stored in the memory of the computer. That system sends the coded order to the animal.  Nanotechnology and genetic engineering are the most lethal combination in the world. The ABW:s (Advanced Biological ...
