- 8362: A Look at Public Key Encryption
- ... used encryption. You'd encode your secret message, such as "Meet me by the swings," by replacing the letters of the alphabet with substitute letters from a certain number of places away. For example, let's say we decide to use the key "+4." That would mean we'd switch each letter in our message with the letter that comes four places later in the alphabet. D would become H; R ... secret, while somehow still being transmitted to the person receiving encoded messages. Even if the key is transmitted safely, which you can never know for certain, the recipient can never be sure received messages haven't been intercepted by the enemy, altered, and passed along to create havoc and disarray. This was a major fault of the one key system that made it very vulnerable. The answer to this problem can in 1976. Up until 1976 no one outside the government or at least outside the government's control, performed any serious work in cryptography. The National Security Agency (NSA) was in charge of all advancement of cryptography, and that changed when a 31-year-old computer wizard named Whitfield Diffie came ...

Even so, shrimp has a very high commercial value and is the most important species ... has doubled in the last decade to some one billion lbs a year, making it the one of the most popular seafoods in the US. In 1997, per capita consumption of shrimp in the U.S. was 2.7 lbs., second only to tuna (at 3.1 lbs.) among seafoods. The price of a pound of shrimp dropped from $14 a decade ago to $5 today. Restaurants purchase 80% of the ... by Denmark, Norway and Iceland. 14,414 more metric tons were imported than Japan, but, because it was the cheaper cold-water variety, the value of the imports was US $776,270 less than Japan's. Japan consumes the most shrimp per capita of any nation in the world. In 1993, 700 million lbs of shrimp were consumed in Japan. Shrimp sales are less tied to fluctuations of the economy ...

In the late 1800's public telephone networks capable of transmitting analogue voice signals were established. The users were connected together via switches across the network to form a circuit. This was the first transfer mode used in telephone networks ... an obvious way of keeping the constant connection necessary for voice traffic. The invention of the transistor and the concept of pulse code modulation (PCM) allowed digital communications to be developed in the late 1960's. The interconnection of computer systems over telecommunication networks soon became a requirement. Modems were used at first to generate analogue signals compatible with the PSTNs from the digital computer data to allow such interconnections. ...
