"Lattices May Put Security Codes on a Firmer Footing."
Miklos Ajtai, a mathematician at IBM Almaden, has
provided the kind of guarantee of hardness that
cryptographers are looking for. He has proved that
examples picked at random from a particular class of
problems are, with exceedingly rare exceptions, as
hard to solve as the hardest ones imaginable. A code
that embedded messages in these problems so that only
someone equipped with the answers could decode them
would provide something close to a guarantee of
security.

"Cybersleuths Help Make Java Safe for Browsers."
Over the past year, Wallach, Dean, Felten and Balfanz
have become self-styled policemen for some of the
hottest Internet software around. Like many fellow
hackers, they find thrills in the search for others'
mistakes. But unlike some of their brethren, they're
using their skills to make the software better by
informing the companies of their findings, rather than
exploiting the errors maliciously.

Seth Lloyd, MIT, has a 5-page report on "Universal
Quantum Simulators" in Science of 23 August, which
confirms Feynman's 1982 conjecture that quantum
computers can be programmed to simulate any local
quantum system.
There are quite a few equations so we have not scanned
it to .txt. However, we will scan as JPEG images for
those who are interested.

There will be a delay to honor knothead labor, me.
