關于前幾天的新聞“德國安全專家成功破解GPRS加密算法”，后續的新聞：
4G and CDMA reportedly hacked at DEF CON
原文提到
At the DEF CON 19 hacking conference, which took place between August 4 and 7, it seems that a full man-in-the-middle (MITM) attack was successfully launched against all 4G and CDMA transmissions in and around the venue, the Rio Hotel in Las Vegas.
原文同樣還提到這種攻擊目前還不能被確定是否真正危害了移動設備的網絡安全，但是值得關注！

CALL FOR PAPER for VLSI Design
這是一個open access journal的cfp，我收到了它的郵件，向我征稿，這個期刊貌似沒啥檢索，如果童鞋們有興趣可以扔一篇不完善但是有好的idea的文章過去？
“I am writing to let you know about our upcoming Special Issue on "Resource-Constrained Cryptographic Implementation," which will be published in VLSI Design in May 2012. You can find the Call for Papers for this Special Issue at
http://www.hindawi.com/journals/vlsi/si/ci/ and the deadline for submission is November 18th, 2011. The Special Issue is open to both original research articles as well as review articles.”

送上一則密碼學界的陳年八卦，關于Provable Security的吵架事件。
密碼學界和Neal Koblitz，Alfred Menezes等數學家之間在provable security上的爭吵
Koblitz和Menezes在ePrint 2004/152上發表了"another look at provable security"，開了第一炮，
后來在AMS Notices （ http://www.ams.org/notices/200708/ ）開了炮，顯然這個Notices是給數學家看的，完全是對密碼學的羞辱。引起了很多密碼學家的憤慨，奮筆投書公開信給AMS的editor表示抗議，參與抗議的至少有Boaz Barak, Oded Goldreich, Jon Katz, Hugo Krawczyk, Avi Wigderson等，好像都是大牌。但似乎K與M對他們的回應選擇直接忽略
Neal Koblitz and Alfred Menezes 已經專門建立的關于這個話題的網站http://anotherlook.ca/ 大家可以看看

由于上周事務繁忙，本周的學術研究機構和會議介紹暫時空缺……望諒解。。。咱們下周再見！
