  Symmetric Pseudoprimes   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
A symmetric pseudoprime relative to f is any composite integer c such that f(z^c)=0 (mod c) for every root z of f.
Symmetric pseudoprimes tend to be more rare relative to polynomials with larger Galois groups.
The smallest symmetric pseudoprime relative to this polynomial that is the product of two splitting primes is N = 2258745004684033 = (27439297)(82317889) I suspect that this is the smallest symmetric pseudoprime of any composition relative to the quintic, but I have not made an exhaustive search.

 A Survey of Venn Diagrams: Symmetric Diagrams   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
A necessary condition for the existence of a symmetric n-Venn diagram is that n be a prime number.
Many symmetric diagrams are known for n = 2,3,5,7, and a few beautifully complex examples for n=11 (the large figure that appears twice in the title section of these pages, Victoria, is a simple polar symmetric 7-Venn diagram).
Another way of viewing it is that the diagram is composed of 2 copies of the ''pie-slice'' forming the top 1/2 of the diagram, with the curves labelled in the second copy by a permutation by a permutation of the colours in the first pie-slice.

 RFC 2440 (rfc2440) - OpenPGP Message Format
With public-key encryption, the object is encrypted using a symmetric encryption algorithm.
With symmetric-key encryption, an object may be encrypted with a symmetric key derived from a passphrase (or other shared secret), or a two-stage mechanism similar to the public-key method described above in which a session key is itself encrypted with a symmetric algorithm keyed from a shared secret.
The symmetric cipher used may be specified in an Public-Key or Symmetric-Key Encrypted Session Key packet that precedes the Symmetrically Encrypted Data Packet.

 Symmetric Key Encryption
Symmetric key encryption is used for authentication and exchange of secret data on the world wide web.
The information is authentic because the information with one symmetric key can only be decrypted with the same key.
The sender and receiver know that they are talking to each other if the symmetric key has not been exposed.

 Loeks Symmetric Spaces Page
In order to study p-adic symmetric spaces and their representation theory it is important to have a classification of the k-involutions together with their fine structure of restricted root systems with multiplicities and Weyl groups.
Motivation: That a study of p-adic symmetric spaces is a natural extension of the study of real semisimple symmetric spaces and also of p-adic groups is not easily seen.
Recall that the Riemannian symmetric spaces can be defined as those Riemannian manifolds M such that any point x in M has a normal neighborhood on which the geodesic symmetry with respect to x is an isometry.

 RFC 1421 (rfc1421) - Privacy Enhancement for Internet Electronic Mail: Par
When symmetric cryptography is used for DEK encryption, an IK is a single symmetric key shared between an originator and a recipient.
Appropriate symmetric encryption algorithms, modes and identifiers, MIC computation algorithms and identifiers, and encrypted DEK and MIC formats are defined in RFC 1423.
For the symmetric case, IK components are identified in PEM headers through use of mailbox specifiers in traditional Internet-wide form ("user@domain-qualified-host").

 The GNU Privacy Handbook
The key used to drive the symmetric cipher is derived from a passphrase supplied when the document is encrypted, and for good security, it should not be the same passphrase that you use to protect your private key.
Symmetric encryption is useful for securing documents when the passphrase does not need to be communicated to others.
A symmetric cipher is a cipher that uses the same key for both encryption and decryption.

 Symmetric Pseudoprimes
A better generalization is to impose the appropriate congruence condition on all symmetric functions of the roots.
In other words, given a monic polynomial f with integer coefficients, a symmetric pseudoprime relative to f is defined as a composite integer N such that every elementary symmetric function of the Nth powers of the roots of f is congruent (mod N) to the same function of the first powers.
In the articles listed below, basic propositions and computational techniques associated with symmetric pseudoprimes are presented, along with specific examples relative to selected polynomials of degrees 1 to 5, and the final article describes complete congruence conditions on the terms of arbitrary linear recurring sequences.

 Manipulation of Triangular and Symmetric Matrices
At CERN, matrices are often stored row-wise (TC-convention); furthermore, symmetric matrices are stored packed as the lower left triangular part only, i.e., the Ith diagonal element is found in position I(I+1)/2.
symmetric matrix is taken to be stored in the packed form with M(M+1)/2 elements.
These are also stored in the packed form with all the zeros dropped; therefore, care has to be taken in the interpretation of a packed matrix as to whether it represents a symmetric or lower triangular array.

 perl.com: Symmetric Cryptography in Perl
Algorithms that use the same key for both encryption and decryption are called symmetric ciphers.
The decision cannot be made without research, but IDEA is often considered the best practical choice for a general purpose cipher.
Symmetric ciphers usually use randomly generated keys (typically between 64 and 256 bits in length), and computers are notoriously bad at truly random number generation.

 Schultz & Schumacher: The Use and Misuse of Conditional Symmetric Instability   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Dry symmetric instability is a generalization of both inertial instability and dry gravitational instability.
In observational studies that assess symmetric instability from limited observations such as single soundings, the geostrophic wind is often approximated by the total wind and stated explicitly as such (e.g, Emanuel 1983b, 1988; Byrd 1989; Reuter and Aktary 1995).
As discussed in section 4, the results of Emanuel (1985) and Thorpe and Emanuel (1985) indicate that weak positive symmetric stability in the warm air in the presence of frontogenesis leads to a single band of ascent that narrows as the symmetric stability approaches neutrality.

 A^1-local symmetric spectra, by J.F. Jardine   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
The weak equivalences for this structure are stable equivalences, defined by analogy with the definitions given by Hovey, Shipley and Smith for ordinary symmetric spectra and by Jardine for presheaves of symmetric spectra, except that one suspends by the Morel-Voevodsky object T, and the underlying unstable category is the A^1-local category of simplicial presheaves.
The homotopy category obtained from the category of presheaves of symmetric T-spectra is equivalent to the Morel-Voevodsky stable category.
The details of the basic construction of the original proper closed simplicial model structure underlying the Morel-Voevodsky stable category are required to handle the symmetric case, and are written out in the first three sections of this paper.

 Symmetric Bipartite Tables for Accurate Function Approximation   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Our method for designing bipartite tables, called the Symmetric Bipartite Table Method, utilizes symmetry in the table entries to reduce the overall memory requirements.
It has several advantages over previous bipartite table methods in that it (1) provides a closed form solution for the table entries, (2) has tight bounds on the maximum absolute error, (3) requires smaller table lookups to achieve a given accuracy, and (4) can be applied to a wide range of functions.
Compared to conventional table lookups, the symmetric bipartite tables presented in this paper are 15.0 to 41.7 times smaller when the operand size is 16 bits and 99.1 to 273.9 times smaller when the operand size is 24 bits.

 Symmetric Indefinite Lanczos Method  Z. Bai, T. Ericsson, and T. Kowalski
Such eigenvalue problems come from various applications, such as the linearization of a certain quadratic eigenvalue problem, which often arises in the modeling of damped structural systems; see §9.2.
The algorithm is referred to as a symmetric indefinite Lanczos method.
The main trouble with this method is that the basis vectors are orthogonal with respect to an indefinite inner product, so there is no assurance that they will be linearly independent.
