Footnote 'a' in box "When is 128 Bigger than 512?"

The footnote points the reader to http://cryptosavvy.com/cryptosizes.pdf and
http://cryptosavvy.com/toc.pdf

Neither of thise links resolve. Adding a 'www.' fixes this.
Okay, okay,.. so anyone reading this should be able to figure it out, but thought
you'd like to know.

last sentence of domain= definition

You state that if the domain attribute of the cookie is left blank, the domain
is assumed to be the same as the *domain* for the web server that provided the
cookie. Actually, a blank domain limits the scope of the cookie to the *host*
that set it. This is significant because it is the only way for a host to
indicate that the cookie should be sent back only to it. If you are host
foo.bar.com and you set your domain=foo.bar.com, the cookie can be sent back
to ANYTHING.foo.bar.com. If you want it sent back only to foo.bar.com you leave
out the domain attribute.

3rd paragraph

By default Internet Explorer will not run an ActiveX control that is not signed with
a PUBLIC key that has a matching "software publisher's certificate".

I think it should be "signed with a PRIVATE key" ; maybe the sentence
should be rephrased to avoid misunderstandings?

The printed code and correction are as follows:

sub validate_cc {
my ($cc) = @_;
my ($digit, $sum, $val);
my ($weight) = 1;

$cc = s/[^0-9]//g;
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The above line is a typo, it should be:
$cc =~ s/[^0-9]//g;

$weight = 2 if (length($cc) %2 == 0);

while ( $cc ne "" ) {
$digit = substr($cc,0,1);
$cc = substr($cc,1);
$val = $digit * $weight;
$val -= 9 if ($val > 9);
$sum += $val;
$weight = ($weight == 2) ? 1 : 2;
}

return ($sum % 10) == 0;

}
