Overtaking VEST

VEST is a set of four stream cipher families submitted by S. O’Neil, B. Gittins and H. Landman to the eSTREAM call for stream cipher proposals of the European project ECRYPT. The state of any family member is made of three components: a counter, a counter diffusor and a core accumulator. We show that collisions can be found in the counter during the IV Setup. Moreover they can be combined with ...

Inequality, Growth, and Overtaking

This research develops a theory about the role of inequality in the overtaking of growth performance across countries. The theory captures two opposing effects of inequality on factor accumulation and suggests that the qualitative change in their combined effect is a prime cause of overtaking. Due to the initial dominance of the positive effect of inequality, a less egalitarian economy undergoe...

Rebuttal of overtaking VEST

VEST is a set of four stream cipher families targeted to semiconductor applications. All VEST family members support efficient encryption, single pass authenticated encryption, and collision resistant hashing in the one low area module. VEST was submitted by Synaptic Laboratories Ltd. to the ECRYPT NoE eSTREAM project in 2005. Recently, a single digit typographical error was identified in the V...

Apical transport gets motorized

Knock twice before invading eisseria meningitidis , also known as meningococcus, is a pathogen with a nasty habit of forcing normally nonphagocytic endothelial cells to engulf it, allowing the bacterium to penetrate cellular barriers. Hoffmann et al. now demonstrate on page 133 that N. meningitidis activates two distinct signaling pathways in host cells to cause actin cytoskeleton reorganizatio...
