- Cryptanalysis -- Keys
Cryptanalysis is a tool that all cryptographers use to test and prove their latest and greatest encryption schemes. The only way to determine the strength of a particular method of encryption is to try to break the key and decode the message. - Alan Davies
Alan Davies has been a SAS® consultant for the last nine years and has achieved a high level of recognition in the SAS technical world, since he started working for SAS Institute Australia as Senior Technical Specialist. Alan provided technical support to SAS Institute clients, delivered SAS courses around the country, and presented papers in SAS events in Australia and overseas.

Alan King was born Irwin Alan Kniberg in New York City on December 26, 1927, the youngest of eight children. After living for a time on Manhattan's Lower East Side, the family moved to another tough neighborhood, the Williamsburg section of Brooklyn. He grew up in a family environment which fostered his interest in storytelling, but it was the streets of New York that pointed him toward humor. Boys learned to defend themselves early on the mean streets of Brooklyn, and if it was not with their fists, it was with humor, and King had an answer for everything. - Alicia Keyes -- New York
Bright colors are coming back for spring, and as she visits MTV's TRL, singer Alicia Keyes proves she's a trend worshipper. From her bangs to her electric blue Imitation of Christ dress paired with leggings, to her gold bangles--she's pretty much covered all the trends! Would you dare to go bold and beautiful in this bright new color of the moment? - Skeleton Key -- Caroline Ellis
Overall, Skeleton Key is a fascinating compendium of the horror movies it apparently would like to be. The setup of having a nurse, Caroline Ellis (Kate Hudson), come to an isolated location to care for an unresponsive patient whose ailment turns out to be supernatural (or psychological) in origin is a worthy reworking of Jacques Tourneur's I Walked With a Zombie. The decaying Louisiana bayou mansion, much of the atmosphere and the trip to a swamp cabin to uncover the truth owe much to John Newland's TV adaptation of the Robert E. Howard story Pigeons From Hell. The New Orleans setting of other scenes, the atmosphere created there, plus a visit to a hoodoo specialty store bear more than a passing similarity to Alan Parker's Angel Heart. - Data Encryption Standard -- Keys
The Data Encryption Standard (DES) is a product block cipher in which 16 iterations, or rounds, of the substitution and transposition (permutation) process are cascaded. The block size is 64 bits, so that a 64-bit block of data (plaintext) can be encrypted into a 64-bit cipher at any one time. (A 64-bit block cipher can be decrypted by DES as well.) The key, which controls the transformation... consists of 64 bits. Only 56 of these, however, are at the user's disposal; the remaining eight bits are employed for checking parity (the state of being odd or even used as a basis for detecting errors in binary-coded data). - Jimmy Buffett -- Key West
Jimmy Buffett’s career has been as colorful as the Western Caribbean clothes that he so famously wears. He started singing in a Miami coffee house in 1972 and has not stop performing live since. Jimmy Buffett has one of the largest loyal fan bases in popular music which makes him a cultural icon it the eyes of his “parrot heads” (the term coined from the colorful hats his fans wear to concerts.) Buffett’s music has been described as tropical, wistful boozy tunes about sailors and dreamers with such hits as “Margaritaville,” “Weather is Here, Wish You Were Beautiful,” and “Cheeseburger in Paradise.” - Veronica Lake -- Alan Ladd
An unusual role for Veronica Lake sees her as a potential victim and accomplice of a young killer (Alan Ladd, in one of his many pairings with Lake). Based on a novel by Graham Greene, this is an intriguing noir that lingers in the memory. - Alan Jackson -- Music
Alan Jackson has been a huge influence to country music. He helped with the 1980s new traditionalist country movement and has now managed to break into the pop charts while still maintaining his country music values.
