Abstract Although they never met and exchanged only one letter during their lifetime, Danish-German poet literary critic Heinrich Wilhelm Gerstenberg German theologian, philosopher Johann Gottfried Herder took great interest in each other’s work. Indeed, the late 1760s Gerstenberg’s writings on literature, history translation arguably had an immense impact Herder, providing him with some of maj...

[The] assimilation of [the poet] to another, either by the use of voice or gesture, is the imitation of the person whose character he assumes[.] [...] Then in this case the narrative of the poet may be said to proceed by way of imitation[.] [...] Or, if the poet everywhere appears and never conceals himself, then again the imitation is dropped, and his poetry becomes simple narration. (Book III...

In this short article, we describe a very practical and simple attack on the authentication part of POET authenticated encryption mode proposed at FSE 2014. POET is a provably secure scheme that was designed to resist various attacks where the adversary is allowed to repeat the nonce, or even when the message is output before verifying the validity of the tag when querying the decryption oracle...

The role of the humanities (eg, philosophy, bioethics, literature, music, theater, religion, anthropology) in medical education has been argued long and hard for decades. It is argued that the study of subjects included in the humanities can enhance critical thinking skills, foster a deeper level of learning and understanding, and help to enhance one's level of compassion, empathy, and moral/et...

We present a framework which uses POET, an interpreted code transformation language, to effectively combine programmable control from developers, advanced optimizations by compilers, and flexible empirical tuning of optimizations to achieve portable high performance for scientific computing. We have extended ROSE, a C/C++/Fortran source-to-source compiler, to automatically analyze scientific co...

In FSE 2014, an authenticated encryption mode COBRA [4], based on pseudorandom permutation (PRP) blockcipher, and POET [3], based on Almost XOR-Universal (AXU) hash and strong pseudorandom permutation (SPRP), were proposed. Few weeks later, COBRA mode and a simple variant of the original proposal of POET (due to a forging attack [13] on the original proposal) with AES as an underlying blockciph...
