( Since the time-span of the nation-state coincides roughly with the separate existence of the United States as an independent entity, it is perhaps natural for Americans to think of the nation as representative of the highest form of order, something permanent and unchanging.

Although we continue to pay our conversational devotions to `` free private enterprise '', `` individual initiative '', `` the democratic way '', `` government of the people '', `` competition of the marketplace '', etc., we live rather comfortably in a society in which economic competition is diminishing in large areas, bureaucracy is corroding representative government, technology is weakening the citizen's confidence in his own power to make decisions, and the threat of war is driving him economically and physically into the ground ''.

Remembering the step-by-step fate of Danzig and the West German misgivings about `` salami '' tactics, it is to be hoped that the dispatch of General Clay to West Berlin as President Kennedy's representative will mark a stiffening of response not only to future indignities and aggressions but also to some that have passed.

I believe, therefore, that we are without exception sinners, by nature alienated from God, and that Jesus Christ, the Son of God, came to earth, the representative Head of a new race, to die upon the cross and pay the penalty of the sin of the world, and that he who thus receives Christ as his personal Saviour is `` born again '' spiritually, with new privileges, appetites, and affections, destined to live and grow in His likeness forever.

The form is completed by the appellant or by the appellant's legal representative.

`` I have just come from viewing a man who had made the fortune of his country, but now is working all night in order to support his family '', he reflected.

For the family is the simplest example of just such a unit, composed of people, which gives us both some immunity from, and a way of dealing with, other people.

We consider a rural community as an assemblage of inhabited dwellings whose configuration is determined by the location and size of the arable land sites necessary for family subsistence.

There is little doubt if they had a secret ballot, they would vote for food for their family, in place of ideological purity out on the farm.

The family is largely broken up ; ;

For it is the family that, in China, has always provided social security for the indigent, the sick, the down-and-out members of the clan.

Part of the family should be sleeping while the rest is awake.

The Peace Corps should not pay the expenses of a wife or family, unless the wife is also accepted for full-time Peace Corps work on the same project.

Arriving at the waterside, the boat is launched, the family taken aboard and, that easily, another day afloat is begun.

This one was set up here in 390 A.D. on a pedestal, the faces of which are carved with statues of the emperor and his family watching games in the Hippodrome, done so realistically that the obelisk itself is included in them.

Camping is family fun, and it is helping more Americans see more of the country than they ever saw before.

When a family buys a home the title is subject to a perpetual easement to Tri-State.

In one cartoon a family is shown outside a theater with the head of the family addressing the doorman: `` Excuse me, but when we came out we found that we had left my daughter's handbag and my wife's behind ''.

It is presumed to occur in other members of the Brassica family.

A family of five plans to go together either to the beach or to the mountains, and a coin is tossed to decide.

When this experiment is viewed as composed of five binomial trials, one for each member of the family, the outcomes of the trials are obviously not independent.

The Advanced Encryption Standard ( AES ) is a specification for the encryption of electronic data established by the U. S. National Institute of Standards and Technology ( NIST ) in 2002.

AES is available in many different encryption packages, and is the first publicly accessible and open cipher approved by the National Security Agency ( NSA ) for top secret information when used in an NSA approved cryptographic module ( see Security of AES, below ).

Blowfish is a keyed, symmetric block cipher, designed in 1993 by Bruce Schneier and included in a large number of cipher suites and encryption products.

Decryption is exactly the same as encryption, except that P1, P2 ,..., P18 are used in the reverse order.

A common misconception is to use inverse order of encryption as decryption algorithm ( i. e. first XORing P17 and P18 to the ciphertext block, then using the P-entries in reverse order ).

In all, the Blowfish encryption algorithm will run 521 times to generate all the subkeys-about 4KB of data is processed.

Even a secure block cipher is suitable only for the encryption of a single block under a fixed key.

The decryption algorithm D is defined to be the inverse function of encryption, i. e., D = E < sup >− 1 </ sup >.

More formally, a block cipher is specified by an encryption function

In cryptography, a cipher ( or cypher ) is an algorithm for performing encryption or decryption — a series of well-defined steps that can be followed as a procedure.

* By whether the same key is used for both encryption and decryption ( symmetric key algorithms ), or if a different key is used for each ( asymmetric key algorithms ).

* symmetric key algorithms ( Private-key cryptography ), where the same key is used for encryption and decryption, and

In an asymmetric key algorithm ( e. g., RSA ), there are two separate keys: a public key is published and enables any sender to perform encryption, while a private key is kept secret by the receiver and enables only him to perform correct decryption.

A key should therefore be large enough that a brute force attack ( possible against any encryption algorithm ) is infeasible – i. e., would take too long to execute.

However, not all regulations have been removed, and encryption registration with the U. S. Bureau of Industry and Security is still required to export " mass market encryption commodities, software and components with encryption exceeding 64 bits " ().

According to Professor Gilles Brassard, an expert in quantum computing: " The time needed to factor an RSA integer is the same order as the time needed to use that same integer as modulus for a single RSA encryption.

It is a set of hardware and software functions that provide switching, accounting, registration, authentication, encryption, and so on.

Symmetric-key ciphers are suitable for bulk encryption using shared keys, and public-key encryption using digital certificates can provide a practical solution for the problem of securely communicating when no key is shared in advance.

The Data Encryption Standard ( DES, or ) is a previously predominant algorithm for the encryption of electronic data.
