Run Ghostscript like this. Put all your PDF files in a single directory, make it the current directory and [...]
I must admit I didn’t work so hard in the last week or so.
Anyway, the section on the One-Time Pad is going to be pretty well written (I hope…). It was quite strange that both Schneier and Menezes & al. in their books pay so little attention to the theorical results which lead to [...]
So, I was in Rome for the weekend and took some (~180….) photos. These are just few (9) of them.
