kandi X-RAY | protect Summary

protect is a Java library typically used in Financial Services, Banks, Payments, Security, Cryptography applications. protect has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities, it has build file available, it has a Permissive License and it has low support. You can download it from GitHub.

PROTECT provides a platform for [threshold-secure cryptography] It can be used to implement systems and services that tolerate multiple simultaneous faults and security breaches without loss of privacy, availability, or correctness. Further, the system self-heals from faults and self-recovers from breaches. This restorative capability enables PROTECT to maintain confidential elements (e.g., secret keys, private keys, bitcoin wallets, numbered bank accounts) durably over long periods, even if many components suffer data loss or data exposure events in that time. PROTECT leverages mathematical relationships that exist between shares in a [secret sharing scheme] to perform secure and distributed function evaluations on the secret represented by those shares. These functions include [distributed key generation] [share refresh] [share recovery] [key derivation] [public key decryption] and [signature generation] PROTECT includes a few example clients demonstrating threshold-secure applications. These examples include: * A distributed Certificate Authority whose private signing key is not held at any location * A threshold-secure decryption service whose private decryption key never exists in any location * A secret storage and retrieval client allowing the secure maintenance of arbitrary secret values. With the techniques implemented by PROTECT one can build secure cryptographic services having neither any single point of failure nor any single point of compromise.

            Fastest way to clear group with a lot of shapes / multithreading
            Asked 2022-Feb-21 at 20:14

            In my JavaFX project I'm using a lot of shapes(for example 1 000 000) to represent geographic data (such as plot outlines, streets, etc.). They are stored in a group and sometimes I have to clear them (for example when I'm loading a new file with new geographic data). The problem: clearing / removing them takes a lot of time. So my idea was to remove the shapes in a separate thread which obviously doesn't work because of the JavaFX singlethread.

            Here is a simplified code of what I'm trying to do:

            HelloApplication.java

            ...

            ANSWER

            Answered 2022-Feb-21 at 20:14

            The long execution time comes from the fact that each child of a Parent registers a listener with the disabled and treeVisible properties of that Parent. The way JavaFX is currently implemented, these listeners are stored in an array (i.e. a list structure). Adding the listeners is relatively low cost because the new listener is simply inserted at the end of the array, with an occasional resize of the array. However, when you remove a child from its Parent and the listeners are removed, the array needs to be linearly searched so that the correct listener is found and removed. This happens for each removed child individually.

            So, when you clear the children list of the Group you are triggering 1,000,000 linear searches for both properties, resulting in a total of 2,000,000 linear searches. And to make things worse, the listener to be removed is either--depending on the order the children are removed--always at the end of the array, in which case there's 2,000,000 worst case linear searches, or always at the start of the array, in which case there's 2,000,000 best case linear searches, but where each individual removal results in all remaining elements having to be shifted over by one.

            There are at least two solutions/workarounds:

            1. Don't display 1,000,000 nodes. If you can, try to only display nodes for the data that can actually be seen by the user. For example, the virtualized controls such as ListView and TableView only display about 1-20 cells at any given time.

            2. Don't clear the children of the Group. Instead, just replace the old Group with a new Group. If needed, you can prepare the new Group in a background thread.

              Doing it that way, it took 3.5 seconds on my computer to create another Group with 1,000,000 children and then replace the old Group with the new Group. However, there was still a bit of a lag spike due to all the new nodes that needed to be rendered at once.

              If you don't need to populate the new Group then you don't even need a thread. In that case, the swap took about 0.27 seconds on my computer.

            Why using inner class in outer class generic type parameter not allowed if inner class is private?
            Asked 2021-Dec-25 at 20:09

            This is maybe a dumb question, but I'm pretty surprised to see that using the private inner class as a generic type in the outer class isn't allowed.

            If I make the inner class protected, it compiles fine.

            Additionally, I have to precise Outer.Inner instead of just Inner, otherwise the inner class isn't found. This also looks a little weird.

            Why can't Inner be private ? And why it is allowed to be protected ?

            Note the meaning of private from the language spec §6.6.1, emphasis mine:

            Otherwise, the member or constructor is declared private. Access is permitted only when the access occurs from within the body of the top level class or interface that encloses the declaration of the member or constructor.

            The extends clause is not part of the class body. The syntax for a class declaration looks like this (Classes):

            Why is a segmentation fault not recoverable?
            Asked 2021-Dec-13 at 08:36

            Following a previous question of mine, most comments say "just don't, you are in a limbo state, you have to kill everything and start over". There is also a "safeish" workaround.

            What I fail to understand is why a segmentation fault is inherently nonrecoverable.

            The moment in which writing to protected memory is caught - otherwise, the SIGSEGV would not be sent.

            If the moment of writing to protected memory can be caught, I don't see why - in theory - it can't be reverted, at some low level, and have the SIGSEGV converted to a standard software exception.

            Please explain why after a segmentation fault the program is in an undetermined state, as very obviously, the fault is thrown before memory was actually changed (I am probably wrong and don't see why). Had it been thrown after, one could create a program that changes protected memory, one byte at a time, getting segmentation faults, and eventually reprogramming the kernel - a security risk that is not present, as we can see the world still stands.

            1. When exactly does a segmentation fault happen (= when is SIGSEGV sent)?
            2. Why is the process in an undefined behavior state after that point?
            3. Why is it not recoverable?
            4. Why does this solution avoid that unrecoverable state? Does it even?
            ...

            ANSWER

            Answered 2021-Dec-10 at 15:05

            When exactly does segmentation fault happen (=when is SIGSEGV sent)?

            When you attempt to access memory you don’t have access to, such as accessing an array out of bounds or dereferencing an invalid pointer. The signal SIGSEGV is standardized but different OS might implement it differently. "Segmentation fault" is mainly a term used in *nix systems, Windows calls it "access violation".

            Why is the process in undefined behavior state after that point?

            Because one or several of the variables in the program didn’t behave as expected. Let’s say you have some array that is supposed to store a number of values, but you didn’t allocate enough room for all them. So only those you allocated room for get written correctly, and the rest written out of bounds of the array can hold any values. How exactly is the OS to know how critical those out of bounds values are for your application to function? It knows nothing of their purpose.

            Furthermore, writing outside allowed memory can often corrupt other unrelated variables, which is obviously dangerous and can cause any random behavior. Such bugs are often hard to track down. Stack overflows for example are such segmentation faults prone to overwrite adjacent variables, unless the error was caught by protection mechanisms.

            If we look at the behavior of "bare metal" microcontroller systems without any OS and no virtual memory features, just raw physical memory - they will just silently do exactly as told - for example, overwriting unrelated variables and keep on going. Which in turn could cause disastrous behavior in case the application is mission-critical.

            Why is it not recoverable?

            Because the OS doesn’t know what your program is supposed to be doing.

            Though in the "bare metal" scenario above, the system might be smart enough to place itself in a safe mode and keep going. Critical applications such as automotive and med-tech aren’t allowed to just stop or reset, as that in itself might be dangerous. They will rather try to "limp home" with limited functionality.

            Why does this solution avoid that unrecoverable state? Does it even?

            That solution is just ignoring the error and keeps on going. It doesn’t fix the problem that caused it. It’s a very dirty patch and setjmp/longjmp in general are very dangerous functions that should be avoided for any purpose.

            We have to realize that a segmentation fault is a symptom of a bug, not the cause.

            If a function only depends on other pure functions, then it is also pure. Since getPhoneNumberRules() just returns a fixed array, it's pure, so rules() is also pure.

            But messages() calls getPhoneNumberMessage(), which calls the __() function that can return a different localized message if the location state changes, so it's not pure.

            You are right that such access is unsafe and Swift 5.5 today does not prevent this, unless you pass the -warn-concurrency flag explicitly.
