Applications The Low Bandwidth Network Filesystem LBFS from MIT uses Rabin fingerprints to implement variable size shift resistant blocks. ref Athicha Muthitacharoen, Benjie Chen, and David Mazi res http pdos.csail.mit.edu papers lbfs sosp01 lbfs.pdf A Low bandwidth Network File System ref The basic idea is that the filesystem computes the cryptographic hash of each block in a file. To save on transfers between the client and server, they compare their checksums and only transfer blocks whose checksums differ. But one problem with this scheme is that a single insertion at the beginning of the file will cause every checksum to change if fixed sized e.g. 4 KB blocks are used. So the idea is to select blocks not based on a specific offset but rather by some property of the block contents. LBFS does this by sliding a 48 byte window over the file and computing the Rabin fingerprint of each window. When the low 13 bits of the fingerprint are zero LBFS calls those 48 bytes a breakpoint and ends the current block and begins a new one. Since the output of Rabin fingerprints are pseudo random the probability of any given 48 bytes being a breakpoint is math 2 13 math . This has the effect of shift resistant ... but the Rabin fingerprint is an efficient rolling hash , since the computation of the Rabin fingerprint of region B can reuse some of the computation of the Rabin fingerprint of region A when regions ... more details

The track is one of the first attempts of the Rolling Stones to branch out into dance or electronic music, and the song resembles music by Sly and the Family Stone . Key ingredients of the song are the rhythm guitar played by lead singer Mick Jagger , which features heavy phasing due to the use of the MXR Phase 100 effects pedal, and the highly jazz funk oriented bass guitar played by Mick Taylor . Keith Richards uses the wah wah pedal for his guitar part. Bill Wyman is on synthesizer , Charlie Watts on Drum kit drums , Billy Preston on clavinet , piano by Nicky Hopkins . Charlie Jolly Kunjappu is featured on the tabla . The lyrics, similar to David Bowie s 1984 , released the same year, express frustration over government monitoring and surveillance activity, perhaps inspired by reports of the wiretapping of domestic radical groups in the U.S. during the Nixon Administration.

In public key cryptography , a public key fingerprint is a short sequence of bytes used to authenticate or look up a longer public key . Fingerprints are created by applying a cryptographic hash function to a public key. Since fingerprints are shorter than the keys they refer to, they can be used to simplify certain key management tasks.
