Useful tools

 * WP:PETSCAN -> Useful for finding intersections and unions of categories
 * Copy and paste: There's a rough notecard system here with the sources sorted by date and the facts from the articles beneath the source title, just an FYI for the curious.

Userbox related

 * "Access to UIUC library userbox" -> Something like "This user has access the library system, including and especially the lovely Grainger Engineering Library, even though that's really not its full or colloquial name.

Post-alien cryptography?
"I am pleased to announce that FC1 symmetric key cipher has been made public. FC1 is a groundbreaking, non-deterministic algorithm, infinitely stronger than AES standard. It can quickly handle keys of millions or billions of bits, providing an incredible grade of confidentiality. It is based on the uniqueness of the modular multiplicative inverse of a positive integer a modulo n and on its computability in a polynomial time.

aa' ≡ 1 mod n

The plaintext is a, the ciphertext a', modulo n is the secret key. This is the basic concept of FC1. Simple and devastating.

FC1 full specification is available on IACR (International Association for Cryptologic Research), paper title "FC1: A Powerful, Non-Deterministic, Symmetric Key Cipher" https://www.iacr.org/news/item/18288

The algorithm was also published at the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) website under the title: "FC1 Algorithm Ushers In The Era Of Post-Alien Cryptography" https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-fabbrini-algorithm-post-alien-cryptography/

I also released the full code in Julia Programming Language: https://github.com/FabbriniCiphers

Hackers are harvesting large quantites of encrypyted data with the aim  of  keeping  them  for  the  day  when  the  development  of  quantum  computers  will make  it possible  to  decrypt them. With FC1  you  can  be  sure  that  no  one  will  ever  be  able  to  decrypt  your  most  valuable  data  in  the  near  or  distant  future.

FC1 can  be  considered  the  first  ever  designed  to face  the  challenges  posed  by  contact  with  an  alien  civilization. It ushers in the era of Post-Alien Cryptography (neologism, see https://postaliencryptography.org).

For feedback, exchange of views or implementation suggestions, I welcome your email at: fc1@fabbrini.org"
