About the physics concept the gymnastics apparatus Rings gymnastics A Roman ring , in theoretical physics , is a configuration of wormhole s where for each individual wormhole the time difference across its mouths is such that it may not allow a closed timelike curve CTC , or closed time loop . If these wormholes and their mouths are arranged in a suitable configuration, a closed time loop will be again possible. For example, an Earth Moon wormhole whose far end is 0.5 seconds in the Relativity of simultaneity past will not violate causality , since information sent to the far end via the wormhole and back through normal space will still arrive back on Earth 0.5 1 0.5 seconds after it was transmitted but an additional wormhole in the other direction will allow information to arrive back on Earth 1 second before it was transmitted. Semiclassical gravity Semiclassical approaches to incorporating quantum effects into general relativity seem to show that the chronology protection conjecture postulated by physicist Stephen Hawking fails to prevent the formation of such rings, although some experts such as Matt Visser feel that there are reasons to think the semiclassical approach is unreliable here, and that a full theory of quantum gravity will likely uphold chronology protection.

SOBER 128 is a synchronous stream cipher designed by Hawkes and Rose 2003 and is a member of the SOBER cipher SOBER family of cipher s. SOBER 128 was also designed to provide Message authentication code MAC Message authentication code functionality. Watanabe and Furuya 2004 showed a weakness in the MAC generation of SOBER 128 which means an attack could forge a message with probability 2 sup 6 sup . MAC functionality was deleted by Qualcomm from SOBER 128 reference code. SOBER 128 takes a key cryptography key up to 128 bits in length.

In cryptography, the common reference string CRS model captures the assumption that a trusted setup in which all involved parties get access to the same string crs taken from some distribution D exists. Schemes Provable security proven secure in the CRS model are secure given that the setup was performed correctly.
