关于前几天的新闻“德国安全专家成功破解GPRS加密算法”，后续的新闻：
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.
原文同样还提到这种攻击目前还不能被确定是否真正危害了移动设备的网络安全，但是值得关注！

CALL FOR PAPER for VLSI Design
这是一个open access journal的cfp，我收到了它的邮件，向我征稿，这个期刊貌似没啥检索，如果童鞋们有兴趣可以扔一篇不完善但是有好的idea的文章过去？
“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.”

送上一则密码学界的陈年八卦，关于Provable Security的吵架事件。
密码学界和Neal Koblitz，Alfred Menezes等数学家之间在provable security上的争吵
Koblitz和Menezes在ePrint 2004/152上发表了"another look at provable security"，开了第一炮，
后来在AMS Notices （ http://www.ams.org/notices/200708/ ）开了炮，显然这个Notices是给数学家看的，完全是对密码学的羞辱。引起了很多密码学家的愤慨，奋笔投书公开信给AMS的editor表示抗议，参与抗议的至少有Boaz Barak, Oded Goldreich, Jon Katz, Hugo Krawczyk, Avi Wigderson等，好像都是大牌。但似乎K与M对他们的回应选择直接忽略
Neal Koblitz and Alfred Menezes 已经专门建立的关于这个话题的网站http://anotherlook.ca/ 大家可以看看
