A study on sorting times

As I said in a previous post, I worked on some research papers on cryptography and algorithms. I decided to publish, for now, one of the papers: “A study on sorting times”.

Sub to Srt Converter

This software will help you convert from .sub file to .srt subtitle file. .SRT files are “readable” for DivX Player. I needed yesterday a .srt subtitle for a movie but I could only find .sub files. [PS: I don't have BS Player] This is why I decided to write this miniconverter.

It is written in c# with .net 2.0. You can view the source-code here: Sub to Srt Converter Source code (if it doesn’t work try downloading it from here: http://rapidshare.com/files/67641688/Sub_To_Srt_Converter.pdf.html)or download the software here: http://rapidshare.com/files/67637436/subtosrt.exe.html

You will need .net 2.0 to run it so if you don’t have it you can download it from here .

Size of program: 24KB.

PS: Be careful which .sub files you want to convert because some may be invalid or corrupt.

Cryptography and Linguistics. A research on Linguistic cryptosystems.

This minor research paper details the algorithm of encoding a text using linguistic knowledge.

Let’s take a function f:A → B , where A is the collection of plain text words, and B is the collection of the encrypted words. We will take for each word in A, a word y from another language. This way “this” is “atunci”, where “atunci” means “then” in Romanian language. The words in the Romanian language corresponding to words in A collection, form the cipher’s key.

The problem of this algorithm is that it is vulnerable to frequency attack Read the rest of this entry »
