Windows allowed Russian hackers to access the information of Ukrainian leaders. Non affiliated hackers potentially could have exploited the flaw for the time it was available. (Yardon) Similar events can happen when the NSA installs backdoors. A cryptography writer and technologist, Bruce Schneier, spoke on the subject: “We have examples of the NSA going in and deliberately weakening security of things that we use so they can eavesdrop on particular targets.” He also posed the question: “Should…

Millions of valiant soldiers, sailors, and airmen contributed to the Allied victory over Nazi Germany in World War II, but one of the war’s biggest heroes was a little-known British scientist who never stepped foot on a battlefield. Alan Turing was a brilliant mathematician, logician, and cryptologist who played a pivotal role in cracking the Enigma code — the system used by the Nazis to encrypt secret messages — which many experts believed was impossible to break. The intelligence gleaned from…

Understanding my own dreams has always been a struggle for me; well even just remembering them came as a struggle. In order to gain the knowledge required to interpret and understand a dream, one must conduct a full analysis of the dream. Sigmund Freud, an Austrian neurologist and creator of psychoanalysis, spent a significant amount of his life interpreting dreams. This interpretation was documented and has been passed down centuries later for an understanding of the dream process. In this…

Primes – the building blocks of all numbers: The dictionary meaning of prime is ‘Of first importance’ or ‘Of the best quality, excellent’ etc. What is so great about prime numbers? A number is said to be a prime if it is divisible only by 1 and itself. 5, for example, is a prime number because it is divisible only by 1 and 5. The number 4 can be divided by 1, 4 AND 2. So it is not a prime number. Numbers that are not primes are said to be composite numbers. The fundamental theorem of Arithmetic…
