[O'Neill is helping Teal'c into the room.]
CARTER
According to the schematic, that was the only one left untouched by the bugs. You going to be OK?
TEAL'C
I will be fine.
[O'Neill sees Thor's pod.]
O'NEILL
What happened?
CARTER
He was dying. I had to put him into stasis.

Alice and Bob
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Alice and Bob are two commonly used placeholder names. They are used for archetypal characters in fields such as cryptography, game theory and physics. The names are used for convenience; for example, "Alice sends a message to Bob encrypted with his public key" is easier to follow than "Party A sends a message to Party B encrypted by Party B's public key." Following the alphabet, the specific names have evolved into common parlance within these fields

Digital Signatures
Long history of using physical signatures as proof of authorship or agreement with some document.
Physical signatures have (to some degree) the following desirable characteristics, which help make them valuable
A. A signature is authentic - its presence convinces a recipient of a document that the signer deliberately signed the document. Using pen and ink leaves a mark with characteristics that are hard to duplicate in any way other than with handwriting
B. A signature is hard to forge - its presence is proof that a particular individual and no other signed the document.
C. The signature is not reusable - it is part of a specific document, and cannot be moved to another. It is very hard to cut and paste real paper without leaving a trace.
D. The signed document cannot be altered after signing Possibly the trickiest part of paper systems - maybe the typography is such that new words or lines cannot be added...
E. The signature cannot be repudiated - after signing a document, the signer cannot convincingly claim that he did not sign it. It is a handwritten physical artifact. Somebody made it...
We would like to obtain similar assurances with computer documents, but there are problems with the fact that files are trivial to make identical copies of, and almost as trivial to modify.
The underlying physical medium gives no easy help here, since computer files generally move all over the place - from memory to disk to disk to disk to tape...
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Digital signatures using symmetric cryptography and a trusted arbitrator.
* Trent, the trusted arbitrator, shares secret keys Ka and Kb with Alice and Bob respectively.
These keys are established before the transaction, have indefinite lifetime, and can be used for multiple transactions.
* The following protocol allows Alice to send a signed message to Bob
1. Alice encrypts here message with Ka and sends it to Trent
2. Trent decrypts the message with Ka
3. Trent adds a statement that he has received this message from Alice, and encrypts the bundle, including Alice's encrypted version, with Kb.
4. Trent sends the bundle to Bob
5. Bob decrypts the message with Kb, and can now read both Alice's message, and Trent's certification.
* Trent knows the original message is from Alice, because no one else has Ka. A message from anyone else claiming to be Alice will decrypt as garbage.
Part of Trent's job is thus to make sure the message is sensible.

4.01 "Small Victories Part 2" [ Stargate SG-1 ]
INT—THOR'S SHIP
[Carter is watching a computer screen showing a schematic of the replicators. Thor is explaining them to her. Her hands are on her head and she looks bewildered.]
THOR
Each individual building block is capable of exerting a reactive modulating monopolar energy field on other blocks allowing the replicators to assemble themselves into many forms. To our knowledge, the interior of each block contains the following; 2 million isolated keron pathways…
[Carter stops the computer display]
CARTER
Wh…What's a keron?
THOR
In simplest terms it is an energy particle.
[Carter walks over to Thor]
CARTER
I've never even heard of it.
THOR
Yes, I am aware.
CARTER
Well, how am I supposed to help figure out how to defeat a keron-based technology if I don't even know what a keron is?
THOR
The Asgard would never invent a weapon that propels small weights of iron and carbon alloys byigniting a powder of potassium nitrate charcoal and sulfur.
CARTER
Ok, I get your point.
THOR
We cannot think like you.
CARTER
Ok…let's forget about the kerons and try to put this in terms that I can understand. Each block is like its own individual computer, capable of communicating with the other blocks, now multiple blocks come together to form bugs and other things in order to perform various tasks, ultimately for the purpose of replicating.

CARTER
Err…I guess you don't keep any replicators around for study?
THOR
It is too dangerous.
CARTER
(worriedly)
Of course, how stupid. Just out of curiosity, could say…oh I don't know, two of the individual blocks replicate?
THOR
It requires several blocks working together to make new blocks.
CARTER
That's good to know.

INT—BELISKNER, THOR'S CHAMBER,
[Teal'c, Carter and O'Neill are looking at Thor.]
THOR
They were discovered on an isolated planet in our home galaxy some years ago. The creators were not present.
TEAL'C
Most likely destroyed by their own creation.
THOR
The replicators were brought aboard an Asgard ship for study before the danger could be fully comprehended.
O'NEILL
We do that all the time. I kinda expected more from you guys.
TEAL'C
Overconfidence in our technologies has been out undoing. The entities learned from the very means that were employed to stop them. They have become a plague on our galaxy that is annihilating everything in its path.

CHAPTER 17
BUSHES
Must have been something to see, she told herself. To watch something like that in progress, what a scientific and personal blessing it must have been, but there'd probably been nobody back then to appreciate it. Unlike today.
"Well, in a few more years we'll get to see the first part of it, won't we? How many more species will we kill of this year, and if the ozone situation keeps getting worse - my God, Carol, why don't people get it? Don't they see what's happening? Don't they care?"
"Kevin, no, they don't see, and, no, they don't care. Look around." The restaurant was filled with important people wearing important-looking clothes, doubtless discussing important things over their important dinners, none of which had a thing to do with the planetary crisis that hung quite literally over all their heads. If the ozone layer really evaporated, as it might, well, they'd start using sunblock just to walk the streets, and maybe that would protect them enough… but what of the natural species. the birds, the lizards, all the creatures on the planet who had no such option? The studies suggested that their eyes would be seared by the unblocked ultraviolet radiation, which would kill them off, and so the entire global ecosystem would rapidly come apart. "Do you think any of these people know about it-or give a damn if they do?"
"I suppose not." He sipped down some more of his white wine. "Well, we keep plugging away, don't we?"
"It's funny," she went on. "Not too long ago we fought wars, which kept the population down enough that we couldn't damage the planet all that much- but now peace is breaking out all over, and we're advancing our industrial capacity, and so, peace is destroying us a lot more efficiently than war ever did. Ironic, isn't it?"
"And modern medicine. The anopheles mosquito was pretty good at keeping the numbers down-you know that Washington was once a malarial swamp, diplomats deemed it a hazardous-duty post! So then we invented DDT. Good for controlling mosquitoes, but tough on the peregrine falcon. We never get it right. Never," Mayflower concluded.
"What if?…" she asked wistfully.
"What if what, Carol?"
"What if nature came up with something to knock the human population back?T-"
"The Gaea Hypothesis?" That made him smile. The idea was that the earth was itself a thinking, self-correcting organism that found ways to regulate the numerous living species that populated the planet. "Even if that's valid-and I hope it is, really - I'm afraid that we humans move too fast for Gaea to deal with us and our work. No, Carol, we've created a suicide pact, and we're going to take down everything else with us, and a hundred years from now, when the human population worldwide is down to a million or so people, they'll know what went wrong and read the books and look at the videotapes of the paradise we once had, and they'll curse our names-and maybe, if they're lucky, they'll learn from it when they crawl back up from the slime. Maybe. I doubt it. Even if they try to learn, they'll worry more about building nuclear power reactors so they can use their electric toothbrushes. Rachel was right. There will be a Silent Spring someday, but then it'll be too late." He picked at his salad, wondering what chemicals were in the lettuce and tomatoes. Some, he was sure. This time of year, the lettuce came up from Mexico, where farmers did all sorts of things to their crops, and maybe the kitchen help had washed it off, but maybe not, and so here he was, eating an expensive lunch and poisoning himself as surely as he was watching the whole planet being poisoned. His quietly despairing look told the tale. He was ready to be recruited, Carol Brightling thought.
It was time. And he'd bring some good people with him, and they'd have room for them in Kansas and Brazil. Half an hour later, she took her leave, and headed back to the White House for the weekly cabinet meeting.

CARTER
How intelligent are they?
THOR
Their capacity for learning is extremely high. Each entity is capable of individual behavior, yet they all act with a common purpose.
O'NEILL
What's that?
THOR
Self replication.
TEAL'C
Then there does not appear to be a way to stop them.

4.16 "2010" [ Stargate SG-1 ]
INT—STARGATE TERMINAL
[A ceremony is in progress around the Stargate. Five armed Air Force soldiers parade up the steps to the inactive Gate and turn. A screen is lowered from the ceiling.]
ANNOUNCEMENT
(over speaker)
Ladies and gentlemen, the President of the United States.
[Kinsey appears on the screen.]
PRESIDENT KINSEY
My fellow Americans. Ten years ago this very day, a team code-named SG-1, then working in secret, came upon an alien race: the Aschen. With that introduction, I was able to forge the greatest alliance this country—indeed, this world—has ever known.
[The assembled crowd claps. Daniel, Carter and Teal'c are standing at the front of the crowd. They smile at each other.]
PRESIDENT KINSEY
I read from Colonel Jack O'Neill's mission report of that first contact. "These folks sound too good to be true. Willing to share their science and technology. Friendly, smarter than we are. One thing's for sure: the Goa'uld are coming…The Aschen could save our asses." Well, guess what, Jack? They did.
[The crowd claps.]
PRESIDENT KINSEY
Jack O'Neill could not be here today, but those candid words hurriedly scratched down in a mission report ten years ago were prescient. Membership in the Aschen Confederation guarantees the security, the health, and the future of every human being on God's Earth. Dr. Samantha Carter, Dr. Daniel Jackson, Teal'c. Would you please step forward?
[Carter, Daniel and Teal'c walk to the base of the Stargate steps. The crowd applauds as an Official of the President offers each of them a medal.]
PRESIDENT KINSEY
Though the nations business has kept me from being with you in person, nonetheless I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for what you've done for me, and for our country. God bless you all.

CARTER
Jack.
O'NEILL
What are you doing here?
CARTER
It turns out we made a mistake. A big one.
O'NEILL
Which one? We made a few.
CARTER
Our alliance with the Aschen.
O'NEILL
Oh, that. Not working out, is it? Gosh, I wish I'd seen that coming. Oh, wait…I did see that coming.
CARTER
It isn't what you thought. A couple of days ago I found out that I can't ever have children.
O'NEILL
I'm sorry to hear that.
CARTER
So was I. According to the Aschen doctors, I was fine. But not according to Doctor Fraiser. We got into the Aschen computer network; they keep statistics on everything. In the past couple of years, without our even knowing it, they have managed to sterilize over ninety percent of the world's population. The other ten percent are probably just a matter of time. We don't know how they've done it, or even how they've even managed to keep it a secret this long…
O'NEILL
So what d'you want me to do about it?

ATLANTIS. Rodney is waiting near his lab and looks irritated as Radek hurries to join him.
McKAY: You and I have two very different definitions of "this won't take too long."
ZELENKA: I know. I'm really sorry. The naqahdah generator in Section seven is giving us all sorts of trouble, but it's fixed now. I'm all yours. What would you like to try now?
McKAY: Actually, unencumbered by the continual need to explain things to you, I've actually made remarkable progress.
ZELENKA: Oh, really?
McKAY: Mmm. The systems the Ancients had in place were designed to create fully functional humanoid replicants, right?
ZELENKA (frowning): Yes.
McKAY: Well, turns out that trying to create something much simpler is – ironically – much more difficult. In the end I was forced to compromise.
ZELENKA: Wait, you're not suggesting that ...
McKAY: Ah, I know it wasn't part of the plan but it was either this or nothing.
(He walks into the lab. Radek stops in the doorway and stares in horror as Rodney stops at the side of the Ancient table and looks up at a woman with long dark hair sitting on it. She is wearing Replicator clothing. She looks at Radek and smiles.)
REPLICATOR: Hello.
(Radek walks slowly into the lab and stares at the Replicator with a mixture of shock and awe. There is an armed guard in the lab behind the Replicator. Rodney calmly smiles at Radek as he continues to gape.)
ZELENKA: Oh, my.
