21 May 2010

• 21:5921:59, 21 May 2010 diff hist +2‎ X86 ‎ →‎x64: avoid implication that x86-64 is the first *anything*, note itanium is no longer widely used, clarify what NX bit does.
• 21:5321:53, 21 May 2010 diff hist +6‎ X86 ‎ →‎x64: as worded, implied Itanium was the *first* architecture w/64-bit addressing, when at least the Cray-1 and RISC came earlier (according to 64-bit)

12 May 2010

• 06:0606:06, 12 May 2010 diff hist +16‎ Cryptanalysis ‎ →‎Modern cryptanalysis: it's a tad unfair to blame WEP and RapidSSL hacks partly on protocol "flaws" -- the protocols would've worked with good primitives, though they could have been more robust

27 April 2010

7 April 2010

• 23:1723:17, 7 April 2010 diff hist −26‎ Isolation (database systems) ‎ →‎READ UNCOMMITTED (dirty reads): not sure all implementations of repeatable read do ensure updates appear in order in practice

22 March 2010

• 15:0715:07, 22 March 2010 diff hist −38‎ UTF-8 ‎ →‎Invalid byte sequences: not sure "strict parsing doesn't work" is widely accepted or just editor's opinion.

• 22:2822:28, 17 March 2010 diff hist −210‎ Quantum computing ‎ →‎Potential: this doesn't compute: this section's about the potential *if* large quantum computers existed, and if they did, longer RSA keys would only increase attacker's effort polynomially
• 20:3420:34, 17 March 2010 diff hist +3‎ Quantum computing ‎ →‎Potential: embarrassing typo

• 18:0418:04, 17 March 2010 diff hist +549‎ Quantum computing ‎ →‎Potential: discuss more specifically where quantum computing leaves cryptography -- maybe this belongs in a Quantum cryptanalysis stub or Cryptanalysis
• 06:1706:17, 17 March 2010 diff hist +228‎ Cryptographic hash function ‎ →‎Hash functions based on block ciphers: dunno how useful, but note that some SHA-3 candidates are based on keyed invertible transforms and some aren't

• 00:2900:29, 15 March 2010 diff hist +7‎ Cryptanalysis ‎ →‎Modern cryptanalysis: there's a neutral version of this thought that belongs somewhere, but reads like editorializing in this context
• 00:2600:26, 15 March 2010 diff hist +1,838‎ Cryptanalysis ‎ →‎Modern cryptanalysis: Note SSL break, brute-force search, Brian Snow "mature field" quote, give examples of recent non-cryptanalytic vulnerabilities, bullet-point modern cryptanalysis list.

12 March 2010

• 21:2421:24, 12 March 2010 diff hist +15‎ Cryptographic hash function ‎ →‎Concatenation of cryptographic hash functions: "as strong and not stronger" than its best component is overstating it

11 February 2010

• 23:5623:56, 11 February 2010 diff hist −36‎ JavaScript ‎ →‎Cross-site vulnerabilities: {{undue}} refers to giving one POV in a debate undue weight and there's no debate here. don't think this is too detailed given article length; can discuss on talk
