It did something more clever than just that, it spun up the centrifuges in 'waves' so that they would fail at a slightly increased rate, but unlikely to be noticed in a daily operations manner.

Countdown to Zero Day is a great read on it.

Unfortunately, there was blood spilled (although it could be argued as a multi-prong approach to neutralize the nuclear capabilities, this may be considered separate from stuxnet).

Follow the link for short answer, to quench your curiosity read the book Count Down to Zero Day by Kim Zetters, which is an in-dept account of Stuxnet and how it was carried out, I can guarantee it will knock your socks off!!

Read this.

Also if you find a flash drive on the ground somewhere, don't claim it as your own. It's not like finding candy on the ground (that stuff is usually fine).

A book was recently released on Stuxnet, discussing the event and what it could mean for the future: Countdown to Zero Day: Stuxnet and the Launch of the World's First Digital Weapon by Kim Zetter.

I haven't gotten to it yet but it's received excellent reviews from just about everyone.

Do you have a link to the Stuxnet article?

Edit: Are you referring to this book?

Die zwarte markt bestaat al decennia, er is een mooi boek over geschreven waar ondermeer uit blijkt hoe dat wereldje al lange lange tijd bestaat een werkt.

Daarnaast is de wens van de overheid begrijpelijk (zij moeten een veilig bestaan voor hun burgers garanderen, en met de terroristische dreiging, is dat heel moeilijk. en is dit een voor de hand liggende wens (want dat konden ze altijd al)

Echter is de volgende vorm van versleuteling onbreekbaar. Zodra deze gebroken is, verandert het bericht en heeft de ontvanger het direct door. het heet quantum encryptie.
De geschiedenis van encryptie, van het begin in Egypte mede langs kraken van de Duitste enigma machine in WOII, eindigend bij quantum encryptie is erg leuk beschreven in:
