Primitives

Cryptographic primitives based on symmetric ciphers Symmetric ciphers are commonly used to achieve other cryptographic primitives than just encryption.

Examples include supporting atomic access to bits or bytes within a word, or other atomic access primitives like the LDREX/STREX exclusive access primitives introduced in the ARMv6 architecture.

Relation to other cryptographic primitives Block ciphers can be used to build other cryptographic primitives, such as those below.

He cites rituals—“for the men of primitive times, as for men of the modern day whom we rightly or wrongly call primitives”—of asking for forgiveness before killing an animal to eat it.

Brad and Houston co-own Hattie Jane’s Antiques and Primitives located in downtown Parsons.

A message may comprise any Erlang structure, including primitives (integers, floats, characters, atoms), tuples, lists, and functions.

APL also identifies those features built into the language, and represented by a symbol, or a fixed combination of symbols, as primitives.

Atomic operations form the basis of many thread locking mechanisms, and are used to implement mutual exclusion primitives.

Barbara Liskov, "A History of CLU", MIT Laboratory for Computer Science Technical Report 561 (1993) This is, in fact, the usual mathematical practice of building up from primitives.

Bytecode still runs more slowly than primitives, but functions loaded as bytecode can be easily modified and re-loaded.

Courier contained primitives to implement most of the features of Xerox's Mesa programming language function calls.

Design Manual Vol 1 Here, a "specification" can be manifested as either a plan or a finished product, and "primitives" are the elements from which the design object is composed.

Emacs developers write certain functions in C. These are "primitives", also known as "built-in functions" or "subrs".

Erlang primitives exist for composing and decomposing binaries and for efficient input/output of binaries.

First, large areas of the image may be empty of primitives; rasterization will ignore these areas, but pixel-by-pixel rendering must pass through them.

For example, the term "Flemish Primitives", now outdated in English but used in French, Flemish and other languages, is a synonym for " Early Netherlandish painting ", and it is not uncommon to see Mosan art categorized as Flemish art.

For these other primitives to be cryptographically secure, care has to be taken to build them the right way.

Haeckel divided human beings into ten races, of which the Caucasian was the highest and the primitives were doomed to extinction.

Hardware acceleration Triangles Starting in the mid 1990s, hardware acceleration of texture mapped triangle primitives for consumer desktop computers has become the norm.

Having these common functions embedded into the silicon reduces the area required and gives those functions increased speed compared to building them from primitives.
