This article is a continuation of “Can the Serpent Cipher fit in the ICE40 FPGA?”. Below is a revision of the forward S-box of Serpent from the previous article, with all of the S-Box equations rewritten in the same form, i.e. using strictly AND, OR, and NOT operations, with none having more than six subclauses, […]
Current Table of Contents: The question of whether the Serpent cipher could fit in a ICE40 FPGA was posed recently, and my first thought was: why not bake what appears to be the heaviest moving part, and see how many gates it requires? Then it will be possible to estimate whether the entire thing is […]
Linux. ( 1991 — 2018. ) No disrespect is intended for Stepan Mitrofanovich Gudimov (1913 – 1941), died heroically in aerial ramming maneuver… whose beautiful tomb I stole here. But IMHO a dead project of Linux’s stature deserves a tomb, even if only an imaginary and stolen one. Especially a stolen project…
This is a simple library for Ada, to replace the asinine GNATSockets item. Supported: Unixlike OS back-end. Open/close datagram socket on given local IP and port. Transmit datagrams of fixed length. Receive (blocking) datagrams of fixed length, rejecting shorts, saving the originator’s IP/port. Handle all possible OS error conditions. Permanently unsupported: Microshit back-ends. TCP. IPv6. […]
This article is part of a series of hands-on tutorials introducing FFA, or the Finite Field Arithmetic library. FFA differs from the typical “Open Sores” abomination, in that — rather than trusting the author blindly with their lives — prospective users are expected to read and fully understand every single line. In exactly the same […]
This recipe will re-create the hygienic gentoo installed on the RK pilot plant at Pizarro. The resulting install will also contain the full set of distfiles used in the rebuilding of the ‘world’, in /usr/portage/distfiles. No promises are made of fitness for a particular use, or of provenance, OTHER THAN as described above. ——— Materials […]
I have the pleasure of informing my readers that… Phuctor is back! It — exactly as it was, but with a few minor fix-ups for browsing speed — now lives on a very spiffy 32-core Opteron at Pizarro, the ISP. The WWW UI is already up; the factoring proper will resume later tonight.
