Dell Wireless 360 Module with Bluetooth for Dell Latitude D830
I haven’t been able to use the Bluetooth on my DELL Latitude D830 after it had a Windows re-installation about 2 months ago. Then I had a look at the Dell support pages for a
suitable driver and it was not easy to find. Here is the link to the Dell Wireless 360 Module with Bluetooth for Dell Latitude D830
Sony’s CLEFIA Encryption Technology Adopted as an International Standard
Sony Corporation (hereafter, Sony) has been working to standardize ‘CLEFIA,’ the block cipher algorithm it developed and presented as a state-of-the-art cryptography technique in 2007, and announced today that after final ISO/IEC*1 approval, ‘CLEFIA’ was adopted as one of the ISO/IEC 29192*2 International Standards in lightweight cryptography.
Information security technology to support safe and secure network access for customers has become indispensable in recent years in light of the increase in the wide range of network enabled devices. In particular, there is focus on lightweight cryptography technology suitable for ensuring the security of devices with low-power consumption requirements or those with limited hardware or memory. Under these circumstances ‘CLEFIA’ met the requirements of ISO/IEC 29192, as prescribed by ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 27*3 − the organization responsible for determining the International Standards for information security.
‘CLEFIA’ has the same interface as the US government’s Advanced Encryption Standard (AES). This block cipher has a block length of 128 bits, while key length can be selected from 128 bits, 192 bits or 256 bits. The most impressive feature of ‘CLEFIA’ is its realization of implementation efficiency while maintaining a high level of security. The development of ‘CLEFIA’ maintains superior security based on the latest block cipher design theory. Furthermore, ‘CLEFIA’ adopts the general Feistel structure*4, which is suited for implementation in constrained environments. Also, the ‘Diffusion Switching Mechanism’ (DSM) is employed to reduce processing operations whilst ensuring security. In addition, components for data processing and key scheduling part are shared. These improvements have made it possible to achieve efficient implementations in hardware and software, which had been difficult with conventional encryption technologies.
This excellent implementation efficiency enables ‘CLEFIA’ to demonstrate high performance in devices with limited resources or those with low-power consumption requirements. Accordingly, CLEFIA is suited for lightweight cryptographic applications as indicated in ISO/IEC 29192 in smartcards, RFID tags, sensor networks, medical devices and more, in addition to conventional applications.
Color Flashlight Android App
The Color Flashlight (its Colour Flashlight in the UK) Android App is a pretty useful app in dark places.
* LIGHT WHEN YOU NEED IT: WHERE YOU NEED IT
Stuck outside with no street light? Color Flashlight helps you out in the darkest of occasions. Use Color Flashlight to find the perfect seat in a dark theatre or find your way around when the power goes out at home.
* COLOR YOUR LIGHT
Change the color and brightness of your phone’s screen to help guide you where you want to go. Choose from a full range of colors to find your favorite custom-made light. Make fun flashlight effects by tapping on the menu button and choosing effect, color, and brightness.
* COOL CUSTOM EFFECTS
Have your phone’s screen simulate police light, candlelight, a rainbow, a disco ball, and more. You can even use Color Flashlight to display your own personal message by typing in text, or host your own personal dance party with the built-in strobe light.
Colour flashlight is a really cool app that gives another reason for switching to a smartphone.

Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500 – rooting and unrooting guide

My Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500 is presently rooted and its only using Froyo (Android 2.2). The bad news is that Samsung will no longer support this model and we won’t be seeing a new Ice Cream Sandwich Android 4.0 (ICS) version from them. However, if you are someone who is willing to hack your phone, then fret not, as there is some good guides that I found to upgrade your stock ROM to the ClockWorkmod ROM that might have an upcoming ICS version soon.
