Elliptic Curve Cryptography in Practice

In this paper we perform a review of elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) as it is used in practice today in order to reveal unique mistakes and vulnerabilities that arise in implementations of ECC. We study four popular protocols that make use of this type of public-key cryptography: Bitcoin, secure shell (SSH), transport layer security (TLS), and the Austrian e-ID card. We are pleased to observe...

Learning Curve: Putting Healthy School Principles into Practice

In Vitro Dissolution Curve Comparisons: A Critique of Current Practice

Many pharmacologically active molecules are formulated as solid dosage form drug products. Following oral administration, the diffusion of an active molecule from the gastrointestinal tract into systemic distribution requires the disintegration of the dosage form followed by the dissolution of the molecule in the stomach lumen. Its dissolution properties may have a direct impact on its bioavail...

Implementation of NURBS Curve Derivatives in Engineering Practice

Derivatives are a very important tool of computations in an engineering practice on the graphics structures. B-Spline functions are defined recursively, so the direct computation is very difficult. In this article new direct proof of the formula used for simpler direct computation is shown. The paper also presents own method of programming derivatives of NURBS curves by means of the proven form...

The Wage Curve and the Phillips Curve

Blanchflower and Oswald (1994) have argued that, in regional data, the level of unemployment is related to the fevel of wages. This result is at variance with an application of the original Phillips curve to regional data, which would predict that the change in wages ought to be related to the unemployment rate. On the other hand, there is considerable empirical support for the expectations-aug...
