Sunny may refer to:
Sunny is a 1979 compilation album containing the works of American pop singer Neil Sedaka. It features some of Sedaka's works from 1958–1964, during his affiliation with the RCA studios. It was released in the UK and throughout Western Europe on the RCA Camden label.
Sunny is the seventh full-length release from Towa Tei released in 2011 . The music stays in the same electronic style as his previous work, Big Fun.
MDC may refer to:
The Manuel de Codage (abbr. MdC) is a standard system for the computer-encoding of transliterations of Egyptian hieroglyphic texts.
In 1984 a committee was charged with the task to develop a uniform system for the encoding of hieroglyphic texts on the computer. The resulting Manual for the Encoding of Hieroglyphic Texts for Computer-input (Jan Buurman, Nicolas Grimal, Jochen Hallof, Michael Hainsworth and Dirk van der Plas, Informatique et Egyptologie 2, Paris 1988) is generally shortened to Manuel de Codage. It presents an easy to use way of encoding hieroglyphic writing as well as the abbreviated hieroglyphic transliteration. The encoding system of the Manuel de Codage has since been adopted by international Egyptology as the official common standard for registering hieroglyphic texts on the computer.
Egyptologists have scheduled a revision for 2007 of the Manuel de Codage, in order to ensure broader implementation in current and future software.
In cryptography, MDC-2 (Modification Detection Code 2, sometimes called Meyer-Schilling) is a cryptographic hash function. MDC-2 is a hash function based on a block cipher with a proof of security in the ideal-cipher model. The length of the output hash depends on the underlying block cipher used.
For a given message to hash and a given block cipher encryption function
, the MDC-2 algorithm proceeds as follows. Let
be the block length,
two different constants of size
. If
where each
has size
, then the hash
of the message is given by:
When MDC-2 uses the DES block cipher, the 128-bit (16-byte) MDC-2 hashes are typically represented as 32-digit hexadecimal numbers. The following demonstrates a 43-byte ASCII input and the corresponding MDC-2 hash:
Even a small change in the message will (with probability) result in a completely different hash, e.g. changing d to c:
The hash of the zero-length string is:
MDC-2 was covered by U.S. Patent 4,908,861, issued on March 13, 1990 but filed by IBM on August 28, 1987.
For this reason, support for MDC-2 has been disabled in OpenSSL on most Linux distributions and is not implemented by many other cryptographic libraries.
