There appears to be a rapper war going on in the cryptography set. :-O
Bruce Schneier brought attention to MC Plus+’s rap about Alice and Bob. Some of the lyrics are here.
DES is wrong if you listen to NIS
Double DES ain’t no better man, that got Dis’ed
Twofish for AES, that was Schneier’s wish
Like a shot from the key
Rijndael made the swish
But Blowfish is still the fastest in the land
And Bruce used the same to ECB and I’ll crack your ciper text
Try CFB mode to keep everyone perplexed
Then there is the rap by Monzy called So Much Drama in the PHd.
Yo, MC Plus Plus, my rhymes are so phat,
I’m PSPACE-complete but I’ll reduce you to 3-SAT.
My crew is so hard that we roll in NP,
And bitches dereference my pointer for free.
When I’m linear probing they’re like, “Damn that’s gigantic,”
I showed it to your mom and she used Hoare semantics.
She jumped like JNE up onto my erection
And I picked up that ho like straight garbage collection.
(“That’s right, mark-and-sweep on these nuts, bitch.”)
Buncha nerds, all of them. 🙂
