Quantum Cryptography

The What Quantum Cryptography is one the latest advancements in Cryptography. This technique involves using the "quantum mechanics" concept of Physics in Cryptography. Quantum Mechanics deals with atomic and sub-atomic particles, and endorses the particle nature of light, which carries packets of energy called Photons. This concept was first postulated by Einstein as The Photo-Electric Effect(for which he received the Nobel Prize in 1921), and later proved by Max Planck and others. The Photo-Electric Effect is the emission of electrons when light (electromagnetic radiation) hits a surface. This concept is implemented in Cryptography to improve security. The key implementation is in Quantum Key Distribution called in short, as QKD. The How QKD is used for sharing secret keys between two parties, by using two bit sequences - Vertical and Horizontal Polarizations, in the form of photons In cryptography, the sender and receiver are usually called Bob and Alice. Let us assume that...

Library of the Dead by Glenn Cooper My rating: 1 of 5 stars Triggering point of Thriller : Random deaths Link : All the deceased receive post-cards with coffin image Extent of thrill : 3 stars Ingeniousness of mystery involved: 4 star Character of the protagonist: 0 star (a complete womanizer deserves a negative rating) Credibility of Historical Information : 0 star Literary Specifics: 0 star (Too many swear words to count) Anything admirable: 0 star (Nothing Specific) The cause of deaths becomes quite obvious towards the middle of the book, and hence, the ending doesn't quite surprise you. I specifically disgusted the way women were treated in the book, especially the ones in Vectis. View all my reviews

I wanted to live deep and suck out the marrow of life! To put to rout all that was not life. and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived." The quote overwhelmed me. It was then that I realized that procrastination just wasn't admissible anymore. It had to be now. And thus, I picked the book. Oh Mr. Thoreau! Your work was more annoying than enlightening. Through this book, I wanted to revel in the joys of solitude. Well, I did get it, added with too many sermons, as if I were a devotee of God listening to you from the pew. What I loved about the book : The ...
