...said he uses an encryption algorithm called MD5 to encode information that should be kept secure...
...because the security and safety of MD5 was called into question as well, Greenspan said he is in the process of transitioning to a different algorithm called...
...tell something about the person who owns the number are the last digit—the reissue digit—and the two numbers to the right of the identification number, which indicate the holder’s university affiliation. The rest of the numbers are generated by an algorithm that has been in use since 1974, when the current ID system was first implemented...
...might wonder how a “supposedly” random algorithm could result in so many ID’s sharing the same first three digits. Wamback explains that this recurrence of numbers has to do with the nature of Harvard’s custom-generated algorithm. “The first numbers issued back in 1974 began with 100, 200...through 900. Then, after all numbers with these three integers were used, numbers beginning with 101, 201...through 901 were issued.” Wamback assures FM that this algorithm is sufficiently random to protect the identities...
Amongst foodies, restaurants tips are traded like currency, valued according to a complex, and highly secret, algorithm. An ostentatious French restaurant with imported china, excessive drapery and a wine list longer than the OED is worth pennies–any unwitting diner can find it simply by opening their latest copy of Zagat’s to “Most Popular.” In this world, points are subtracted for celebrity chefs, and service and decor are only a detraction from delicious food, not a means to an end. The Holy Grail, the establishment that serves...
