NESSIE
NESSIE (
New European Schemes for Signatures, Integrity and Encryption) was a
European research project funded from 2000–2003 to identify secure
cryptographic primitives. The project was comparable to the
NIST AES process and the Japanese Government-sponsored
CRYPTREC project, but with notable differences from both. In particular, there is both overlap and disagreement between the selections and recommendations from NESSIE and CRYPTREC (as of the August 2003 draft report). The NESSIE participants include some of the foremost active
cryptographers in the world, as does the CRYPTREC project.
Loch Ness Monster
The
Loch Ness Monster is a
cryptid that reputedly inhabits
Loch Ness, a lake in the
Scottish Highlands. It is similar to other supposed
lake monsters in Scotland and elsewhere, though its description varies from one account to the next, with most describing it as large.
Popular interest and belief in the creature's existence has varied since it was first brought to the world's attention in 1933. Evidence of its existence is anecdotal, with minimal and much-disputed photographic material and
sonar readings.

The sightings date back to 565 CE when the Irish Saint Columba claimed he saw the Niseag (the Celtic name for Nessie) when he attended a burial for a man who had been bitten to death by the monster. While it has been sighted in the subsequent centuries, it was not until the 19th century that the sightings become more frequent. The most famous encounter was perhaps in the summer of 1933. On that day Mr. and Mrs. Spicer, returning from a trip to London, saw a monster cross the road, with an animal in his jaws, and submerge in the lake. This incident drew the attention of the world press and Nessie became an international phenomena. There have been many expeditions since, but none as successful as to prove its existence.
