public-key encryption
(gcide) | encryption \encryption\ n.
the process of converting messages in ordinary language, or
other information into a secret coded form that cannot be
interpreted without knowing the secret method for
interpretation, called the key.
Note: Encryption is used commonly to allow messages to be
transmitted between parties at a distance without
permitting others to read and understand the message.
It is also used to make data more secure from possible
discovery and uninterpretable by unauthorized people
accessing the data. In order to read an encrypted
message, a party normally requires knowledge of both
the method of encryption and the secret key, which may
be a single word or more complex sequence of
characters. Until recently, transmission of such secret
messages required that the key be transmitted secretly
by some seecure and reliable method to the party
receiving the message. More recently, a mathematical
method was discovered to allow a party to publish an
encoding key (the public key) which allows anyone to
encode a message, but the message thus encoded can only
be decoded by the person possessing a corresponding
key, called the private key. This two-key system is
called the public-key encryption method.
Syn: encoding, coding, enciphering, ciphering, cyphering,
writing in code.

ooblick
(jargon) | ooblick
/oo'blik/, n.
[from the Dr. Seuss title Bartholomew and the Oobleck; the spelling
‘oobleck’ is still current in the mainstream] A bizarre semi-liquid sludge
made from cornstarch and water. Enjoyed among hackers who make batches
during playtime at parties for its amusing and extremely non-Newtonian
behavior; it pours and splatters, but resists rapid motion like a solid and
will even crack when hit by a hammer. Often found near lasers.
Here is a field-tested ooblick recipe contributed by GLS:
□ 1 cup cornstarch
□ 1 cup baking soda
□ 3/4 cup water
□ N drops of food coloring
This recipe isn't quite as non-Newtonian as a pure cornstarch ooblick, but
has an appropriately slimy feel.
Some, however, insist that the notion of an ooblick recipe is far too
mechanical, and that it is best to add the water in small increments so
that the various mixed states the cornstarch goes through as it becomes
ooblick can be grokked in fullness by many hands. For optional ingredients
of this experience, see the Ceremonial Chemicals section of Appendix B.
