Exploring Computer Science

We use random.org in our Exploring Computer Science during our Algorithms unit. We use the string generator to make random passwords to test to see how complexity and length changes the amount of time taken to ‘crack’ the password. We use the integer generator to try out One Time Pad Encryption and we also use the coin flipper during our discussions of true vs pseudo random discussions. They have been a great resource and supportive of our efforts for over a decade!

Testing Encryption Routines

I'm using the random numbers to help me create block ciphers for custom encryption routines. I do this more out of fun though a lot of my ‘research’ ends up in production systems. I've actually contributed to your third party HTTP clients. I wrote the ASP contribution. I'm particularly pleased to see the sequence generator. This is absolutely critical for my latest project—developing an ASCII friendly encryption routine for email and web use. In this sort of application, I use ASCII values with a value 32 pedestal and a 126 threshold to eliminate any special characters from being used (and likely altered) by an email or web transfer protocol. Results thus far have been great.
