Cloning Plant Genes Known Only by Phenotype

Cloning plant genes known only by phenctype seemed like a dream only a decade ago. Now it has become a practical, though demanding, experimental challenge. Recently the University of Minnesota hosted asymposium that brought together severa1 experts in cloning genes known only by their phenotypes. The participants presented myriad ways for cloning plant genes, including the use of T-DNA insertio...

Health status measures are often referred to as quality of life measures when they are actually measuring quality of health not quality of life.

Known-Plaintext-Only Attack on RSA-CRT with Montgomery Multiplication

The paper describes a new attack on RSA–CRT employing Montgomery exponentiation. Given the amount of so-called final subtractions during the exponentiation of a known message (not chosen, just known), it creates an instance of the well known Hidden Number Problem (HNP, [2]). Solving the problem reveals the factorization of RSA modulus, i.e. breaks the scheme. The main advantage of the approach ...
