introduction to Merkle-Hellman knapsacks Algorithm

Image
  Ralph Merkle and Martin Hellman Developed the first algorithm for Public Key for public-key Encryption, called t he knapsacks Algorithm. This algorithm is based on the Knapsack Problem .[this is actually a simple problem] Given a pile of Items, each with different weights, is it possible to put some of them in a bag (i.e., knapsack) in such a way that the knapsack has a certain weight? If M1, M2, M3,.., Mn are given values and S is the Sum, Find out bi so that:            S = b1M1 + b2M2 + ... + bnMn Each bi can be 0 or 1.  [1 indicates the item is in the knapsack and 0 indicates that it is not]. A Block of Plain text equal in length to the number of items in the pile would select the items in the knapsack. The ciphertext is the resulting sum.  For example: if the knapsack is 1, 7, 8, 12, 14, 20 then the plain text and the resulting Ciphertext is shown as: 

3d Display Methods in Computer Graphics

 3D Display Methods 3D Projection Q. What is 3D Projection/Graphical Projection? It is a design technique used to display 3D objects on a 2D surface. Why we are using a 2D surface to display 3D objects? Because all graphics devices are 2D [like Monitor Screen]. When we want to draw 3D objects on a computer monitor. Convert the world coordinates into screen coordinates [i.e., project 3D objection on the 2D plane]. Q. What is the Projection? Process of representing 3D objects into 2D. [i.e., shadow of object]. Q. How an object is projected?  By projecting each of its points [create a map of points]. There are infinite points in Object. Take projection of only corner points of an object on a 2D plane than join these projected points by a straight line in the 2D plane. Q. What is a Parallel Projection? Projection of point in 3D space. Parallel Projection is a method for generating a view of a solid object. Project point on the object surface along parallel lines onto the display p...

Nicholl - Lee Nicholl (NLN) Line Clipping in Computer Graphics

Image
 In the Cohen-Sutherland method, multiple intersections may be calculated along the path of a single line before an intersection on the clipping rectangle or line is completely rejected.  In Nicholl - Lee Nicholl Line Clipping, Extra intersection calculations are eliminated.  ADVANTAGE OF Nicholl - Lee Nicholl (NLN) Line Clipping 1.) The  number of clipping points is reduced to one, compared to other algorithms that may require two or more clipping.  2.)  Nicholl - Lee Nicholl (NLN) Line Clipping is FAST. Clipping algorithms for Circle, Curved boundary clipping regions are SLOWER because intersections calculations involve nonlinear curve equations.  3.)    Nicholl - Lee Nicholl (NLN) Line Clipping avoids multiple clipping of Line segments.  4.) As Compare to Cohen Sutherland and Liang-Barsy  Nicholl - Lee Nicholl Line Clipping performed fewer comparisons.    How Nicholl - Lee Nicholl Line Clipping works?  Nicholl...

PSO (Particle Swarm Optimization) Example Step-by-Step

Image
 Particle swarm optimization (PSO) What is meant by PSO? PSO is a computational method that Optimizes a problem. It is a Population-based stochastic search algorithm. PSO is inspired by the Social Behavior of Birds flocking. n Particle Swarm Optimization the solution of the problem is represented using Particles. [Flocking birds are replaced with particles for algorithm simplicity]. Objective Function is used for the performance evaluation for each particle / agent in the current population. PSO solved problems by having a Population (called Swarms) of Candidate Solutions (Particles). Local and global optimal solutions are used to update particle position in each iteration. How PSO will optimize? By Improving a Candidate Solution. How PSO Solve Problems? PSO solved problems by having a Population (called Swarms) of Candidate Solutions (Particles). The population of Candidate Solutions (i.e., Particles). What is Search Space in PSO? It is the range in which the algorithm computes th...
