He was one of the inventors of the RSA algorithm (along with Ron Rivest  and Len Adleman), i am sure most of the computer science world would have heard of RSA,he is also one of the inventors of &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Differential_cryptanalysis"&gt;differential cryptanalysis&lt;/a&gt; and has made numerous contributions to the fields of &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptography"&gt;cryptograhy&lt;/a&gt;  and computer science.He definitely has a beautiful mind. Some of the algorithms developed by him is so damn interesting. He just makes use of simple theories and mathematics. I am a keen enthusiast of cryptography. Lately i happened to see two of his algorithms in wiki. Am sure u will also enjoy&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;reading them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One of them is  &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shamir%27s_Secret_Sharing"&gt;secret sharing algorithm &lt;/a&gt;which uses basic priniciples such as only 2 points are required to construct a line, 3pts for a parabola etc.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another one took me suprise in that alogorithm,called the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-pass_protocol"&gt;Three Pass Protocol&lt;/a&gt;, messages are encrypted and decrypted and sent but theres is NO KEY EXCHANGE. Imagine the sender encrypt n decrypt using his own pair of keys and the receiver with his pair.

I thought it was a fish until my frnd sabari told me it was a MAMMAL n not a FISH......Even DOLPHIN is a MAMMAL n not a FISH.......so i decided to find out how the classification is&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     &lt;p&gt;Animals with an internal skeleton made of bone are called vertebrates.          Vertebrates include: primates, such as humans and monkeys; amphibians;          reptiles; birds; and, fish.Although vertebrates represent only a very small percentage of all animals,          their size and mobility often allow them to dominate their environment.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Of the million or more animal species in the world, more than 98% are          invertebrates. Invertebrates don't have an internal skeleton made of bone.          Many invertebrates have a fluid-filled, hydrostatic skeleton, like the          jelly fish or worm. Others have a hard outer shell, like insects and crustaceans.          There are many types of invertebrates. The most common invertebrates include          the protozoa, annelids, echinoderms, mollusks and arthropods. Arthropods&lt;a style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);" href="http://www.kidport.com/RefLib/Science/Animals/Arthropods.htm"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;          include insects, crustaceans and arachnids.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Invertebrates&lt;/p&gt;&lt;table border="0" cellpadding="10" width="100%"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td align="center"&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.kidport.com/RefLib/Science/Animals/Protozoa.htm"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.kidport.com/RefLib/Science/Animals/Images/SpongeTn.JPG" alt="Protozoa" border="0" height="100" width="94" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;

type='text'>Littering Public places</title><content type='html'>This a common practice among us.To give u an example there is a small shop near my college.i see most us buy chocolates and put the wrapper on the ground.now the place is full of chocolate wrappers.The sad part is if they could walk five minutes to the college they could put the wrapper in the dustbin.But no they just wont do it.This is a sad plight considering the fact that this right in front a college, which is where the future citizens of India is being nurtured.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is the same when u go to parks,beaches or any public places for that matter .People through waste directly on the ground.Even when we travel by train we do it,throw waste out through the window.It is the general attitude of our people.If we were ask them, the obvious reply would be that the govt is supposed to keep the place clean and not us.People always want others to do the job when they can do it themselves.It is not the just the duty of the govt we should also make sure that we keep our country clean.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do we spit on the floor of our room or house saying the servant will clean it?so why is that?we want our room to be clean but not our country, isn't it?Will these same people dare to litter in places such as US or Singapore or Dubai?So why cant people do they same in India.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hope next time when you put something on the ground u will at least think about it a second time and hopefully find a dustbin and use it.&lt;div

type='text'>Politics and Voting</title><content type='html'>Frankly speaking i never thought i would be interested in discussing or speaking or hearing about this topic.i used change news channels when politics was the topic.so as u can imagine never in wildest dream did i imagine i would be writing on it and publishing it as my first blog.I realize this feeling is the same with a lot of people especially the EDUCATED and LITERATE category.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If ask them are you voting?the common reply is this why should we?its not going to change any thing? ok i have to agree to them to an extent.yes there are corrupt politicians and there are even criminals  in our country but it does not imply all politicians are corrupt and are criminals.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now let me ask you question,Does your decision NOT TO VOTE going to change the present scenario?will it stop criminals and corrupt people from getting into power?well the answer is a clear cut NO.Ironically enough the if we vote,by vote i mean for the right candidate,we can make sure right people come to power.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I dont know all these thoughts came into my mind nobody told me.May be 26/11 made me think and i just wanted others to know the importance of voting.ok lets continue.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Its time for another question.This is something i asked  myself. how do i find the RIGHT CANDIDATE? In today's world the answers to all your queries are available on the net so i have to google and find out the profile of each candidate and then decide for whom i should vote.believe me its possible.In my case i searched for the portfolio of one candidate and found that there were cases registered against the candidate.Please please dont discriminate based on caste religion sex etc.That's foolishness.God has given us an exceptional ability which is what many say discriminates us from animals.Its the ability to think.So think and please do make the right choice which will take our great country and us forward.The saddest part is that the majority of the people who dont vote are educated and literate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have decided to stand up for my country.I hope more people will do the same.We have been given a power to vote so utilize it. DONT WASTE TIME BLAMING THE POLITICIANS WHEN YOU ARE NOT DOING YOUR DUTY TOWARDS YOUR COUNTRY.i just want every citizen in the country to understand this and vote.EVERY VOTE MATTERS!!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There's a dialogue in the movie spiderman,"With great power comes great responsibility".We have a power to vote and we are responsible for the future of our country.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;P.S two great quotes&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;John F Kennedy said this in his famous speech, “ask not what your country can do for you - ask what you can do for your country. ”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is from our own former president APJ Abdul Kalam&lt;br /&gt;YOU say that our government is inefficient.&lt;br /&gt;YOU say that our laws are too old.&lt;br /&gt;YOU say that the municipality does not pick up the garbage.&lt;br /&gt;YOU say that the phones don’t work, the railways are a joke,&lt;br /&gt;The airline is the worst in the world, mails never reach their destination.&lt;br /&gt;YOU say that our country has been fed to the dogs and is the absolute pits.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;YOU say, say and say. What do YOU do about it?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7866351409904637954-54360753140644147?l=arjunasoknair.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://arjunasoknair.blogspot.com/feeds/54360753140644147/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://arjunasoknair.blogspot.com/2009/03/politics-and-voting.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7866351409904637954/posts/default/54360753140644147'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7866351409904637954/posts/default/54360753140644147'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://arjunasoknair.blogspot.com/2009/03/politics-and-voting.html' title='Politics and Voting'/><author><name>Arjun Asok nair</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17901091497114648828</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
