I want to invite everyone in the Federation, Fediverse, and Activity Web to join us in raising money for Médecins Sans Frontiéres / Doctors Without Borders or MSF on March 23rd and 24th in the 3rd Rock Grid! What is the 3rd Rock Grid?
It is a collection of virtual worlds where you can create a free account and get a free avatar to use in world. It's more than a video game :) You can be anything you want and interact with others socially while you listen to artist readings, role play, and music from live singers and DJs. At this annual two day event we will be raising money for charity but you can use your free account to do more than that anytime - everything from role play to creating your own virtual world to do anything you want!
Here is a link to get you started plus event details below. If you have any questions feel free to contact me and I will help you out :)

Cryptography has never been intended to protect things forever, only to make it very difficult and extremeley time consuming to defeat. Side channel attacks go after the implementations to leverage weaknesses not in the actual algorithms but rather the ways they run. These are often less time consuming and less effort to do, especially once you discover where and how information is leaked. These attacks tend to be very repeatable once discovered thus significantly reducing the time and effort needed for subsequent attacks on the same solu... show more
