We celebrated our nephews birthdays yesterday, which is always a nice treat. We get to see my sister’s family, which is something rare due to time constraints in all of our lives. It can also be an awkward time, not only for the typical family reasons, sadly, but also due to some very differing views on child rearing. It never fails that something occurs (usually a child blaspheming the Lord) to ignite the tension; and this time was no different; and yet, it was.

The House Falls Ill
Wednesday(1/6/2010) morning, Noah seemed a little under the weather, as the day progressed he still seemed so, and after his afternoon nap he had a temp of about 103; Hannah gave him a bolus of Tylenol and monitored his vitals. The fever broke after an hour or so; but he was obviously ill when I returned home from work. He fell asleep during family worship only to awake hallucinating and with a low 101 temp; a slight interruption to worship; but nothing like the Price Fam endured. I gave him another dose of Tylenol and we relocated him to our bed so that we could keep monitoring him through the night. Around midnight he awoke, hallucinating and vomiting, but with no real temp or any other strange vitals.

Today, Hannah and I were discussing the patience of God (As articulated by Stephen Charnock), these are my thoughts in reflection.

Welcome to existence, Charles Edward Prevost!
“Lo, children [are] an heritage of the LORD: [and] the fruit of the womb [is his] reward.
As arrows [are] in the hand of a mighty man; so [are] children of the youth.
Happy [is] the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate.”
Psalm 127 3-5

Overview
Symmetric ciphers use the same key for encryption and decryption, which creates a default insecurity due to Alice and Bob sharing the key knowledge. Technically, the true measure of security within a symmetrical cipher is to measure the security of the means by which the key is shared. Compromised keys can result in an incredibly easy decryption and potentially further security issues. As an alternative, asymmetric cryptography utilizes two (mandatory) different keys, in an attempt to eliminate the key sharing insecurities. These asymmetrical ciphers are found most commonly in Public Key Cryptography.
