  23. How secure is the encryption used by SSL?


    It would take significantly longer than the age of the universe to crack a 128-bit key.
    SSL uses public-key encryption to exchange a session key between the client and server; this session key is used to encrypt the http transaction (both request and response). Each transaction uses a different session key so that even if someone did manage to decrypt a transaction, that would not mean that they would have found the server's secret key; if they wanted to decrypt another transaction, they'd need to spend as much time and effort on the second transaction as they did on the first.  Of course, they would have first have to have figured out some method of intercepting the transaction data in the first place, which is in itself extremely difficult.  It would be significantly easier to tap your phone, or to intercept your mail to acquire your credit card number than to somehow intercept and decode Internet Data.

    Servers and browsers do encryption ranging from a 40-bit secret key to a 128-bit secret key, that is to say '2 to the 40th power' or '2 to the 128th power'.  Many people have heard that 40-bit is insecure and that you need 128-bit to keep your credit card info safe.  They feel that using a 40-bit key is insecure because it's vulnerable to a "brute force" attack (basically trying each of the 2^40 possible keys until you find the one that decrypts the message). This was in fact demonstrated when a French researcher used a network of fast workstations to crack a 40-bit encrypted message in a little over a week.  Of course, even this 'vulnerability' is not really applicable to applications like an online credit card transaction, since the transaction is completed in a few moments.  If a network of fast computers takes a week to crack a 40-bit key, you'd be completed your transaction and long gone before the hacker even got started.

    Of course, using a 128-bit key eliminates any problem at all because there are 2^128 instead of 2^40 possible keys.  Using the same method (a networked of fast workstations) to crack a message encrypted with such a key would take significantly longer than the age of the universe using conventional technology.   Remember that 128-bit is not just 'three times' as powerful as 40-bit encryption.  2^128 is 'two times two, times two, times two...' with 128 two's.   That is two, doubled on itself 128 times.  2^40 is already a HUGE number, about a trillion (that's a million, million!).   Therefor 2^128 is that number (a trillion), doubled over and over on itself another 88 times.   Again, it would take significantly longer than the age of the universe to crack a 128-bit key.

    128-bit 2^128 2 multiplied by 2 128 times over.= 339,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000
       (give or take a couple trillion...)

    Doing the math, you can see that using the same method that was used to break 40-bit encryption in a week, it would take about 72 million weeks (about 1.4 million years) to even break '56-bit medium' encryption and significantly longer than the age of the universe to crack a 128-bit key.  Of course the argument is that computers will keep getting faster, about doubling in power every 18 months.  That is true, but even when computers are a million times faster than they are now (about 20 years from now if they double in speed every year), it would then still take about 6 thousand, trillion years, which is about a million times longer than the Earth has been around.  Plus, simply upgrading to 129-bit encryption would take twice as long, and 130-bit would take twice as long again.  As you can see, it's far easier for the encryption to keep well ahead of the technology in this case.  Simply put, 128-bit encryption is totally secure.

  27. What is wee (prf) and am I charged for it.How does the collection service for my wee waste work.

    Yes every customer is charged for wee which is dependent on the product?

    From Saturday 13th Aug 2005, Producer Recycling Fund Contribution (PRFC) will be applied to the retail price of new electrical and electronic goods. These contributions have been approved by the WEEE Register, an independent regulation body authorised by the Minister for the Environment. EU Legislation allow for these ccontributions to be applied for the safe disposal consumer electroinc products.

    PRF is being introduced under the 2002 EU Directive on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) to fund the recycling and safe disposal of old electrical and electronic equipment - from small electronic items such as camcorders and dvd players through to larger products such as lcd and plasma tv’s. PRFs have been set and agreed according to specific product types and these costs are the same regardless of what brand or from what outlet in the Republic of Ireland an item is purchased.

    Civic amenity centres, of which there are approximately 64 located throughout the country, will allow consumers to dispose of all old electronic equipment free of charge. Consumers will be able to exchange their electrical or electronic equipment at the point of delivery on a one-for-one basis when purchasing a similar product. While delivering a new product to a consumers home, then a similar old product can be collected at the same time, provided it is disconnected and does not pose a health and safety issue.

    For more information about WEEE and Producer Recycling Fund Contribution please visit www.weeeireland.ie

    What are the Environmental Management Costs or Producer Recycling Fund(PRF)?

    To ensure the collection, treatment and disposal of all WEEE in a safe manner, the prices of electronic and electrical items will now include a contribution to a producer recycling fund.  Each item will be associated with a product category, e.g. large household appliances, electronic and electrical tools, etc, which will determine the EMC that applies.  All products that incur an EMC, will clearly display the EMC along with the item price both before and after the EMC is applied. 

    The following list outlines some of the EMCs that apply to different product categories:

  28. How does WEEE work?

    Take back is on a one-for-one basis only and the product must be of a similar type or have performed the same function as the new product purchased.  For example if you purchase a hair-dryer we will take back your old hair-dryer free of charge and ensure it is recycled in a safe and responsible manner.  However if you buy a toaster, we will not take back your old television or kettle.

    Delivery

    Retailers can not charge for collection of WEEE on delivery and must provide this

    service when new EEE is delivered to the customer. At least 24 hours notice of deliverymust be given. If the notice is not given, the retailer has to return to provide the collectionservice within 15 days of delivery and give at least 24 hours notice to the householder.

    The customer will be notified 24 hours before delivery is made and is requested to have their wee ready for collection on delivery of their new product. Wee waste will not be picked up on delievery should it pose a health and safety issue.

    Should your wee waste not be ready for collection at the point of delievery and where you have been given 24 hours notice of delivery  then it will be up to the customer to dispose of the wee at a civic amenity centre or allternatively return it  directly to IrishLCD within 30 days of delivery and reciept of goods.
