Public Switched Telephone Network          (PSTN, T.70) The collection of interconnected       systems operated by the various telephone companies and       administrations ({telcos} and {PTTs}) around the world.   Also       known as the Plain Old Telephone System (POTS) in contrast to       {xDSL} and {ISDN} (not to mention other forms of {PANS}).          The PSTN started as human-operated analogue circuit switching       systems (plugboards), progressed through electromechanical       switches.   By now this has almost completely been made       digital, except for the final connection to the subscriber       (the "last mile"): The signal coming out of the phone set is       analogue.   It is usually transmitted over a {twisted pair       cable} still as an analogue signal.   At the {telco} office       this analogue signal is usually digitised, using 8000 samples       per second and 8 bits per sample, yielding a 64 kb/s data       stream ({DS0}).   Several such data streams are usually       combined into a fatter stream: in the US 24 channels are       combined into a {T1}, in Europe 31 DS0 channels are combined       into an {E1} line.   This can later be further combined into       larger chunks for transmission over high-bandwidth core       trunks.   At the receiving end the channels are separated, the       digital signals are converted back to analogue and delivered       to the received phone.          While all these conversions are inaudible when voice is       transmitted over the phone lines it can make digital       communication difficult.   Items of interest include {A-law} to       {mu-law} conversion (and vice versa) on international calls;       {robbed bit} signalling in North America (56 kbps <--> 64       kbps); data {compression} to save {bandwidth} on long-haul       trunks; signal processing such as echo suppression and voice       signal enhancement such as AT&T TrueVoice.          (2000-07-09)

public-key encryption          (PKE, Or "public-key cryptography") An       {encryption} scheme, introduced by Diffie and Hellman in 1976,       where each person gets a pair of keys, called the public key       and the private key.   Each person's public key is published       while the private key is kept secret.   Messages are encrypted       using the intended recipient's public key and can only be       decrypted using his private key.   This is often used in       conjunction with a {digital signature}.          The need for sender and receiver to share secret information       (keys) via some secure channel is eliminated: all       communications involve only public keys, and no private key is       ever transmitted or shared.          Public-key encryption can be used for {authentication},       {confidentiality}, {integrity} and {non-repudiation}.          {RSA encryption} is an example of a public-key cryptosystem.          {alt.security FAQ       (http://www.cis.ohio-state.edu/hypertext/faq/bngusenet/alt/security/top.html)}.          See also {knapsack problem}.          (1995-03-27)
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Publican       one who farmed the taxes (e.g., Zacchaeus, Luke 19:2) to be       levied from a town or district, and thus undertook to pay to the       supreme government a certain amount. In order to collect the       taxes, the publicans employed subordinates (5:27; 15:1; 18:10),       who, for their own ends, were often guilty of extortion and       peculation. In New Testament times these taxes were paid to the       Romans, and hence were regarded by the Jews as a very heavy       burden, and hence also the collectors of taxes, who were       frequently Jews, were hated, and were usually spoken of in very       opprobrious terms. Jesus was accused of being a "friend of       publicans and sinners" (Luke 7:34).

The word here rendered "chief man"       (protos) is supposed by some to be properly a Maltese term, the       official title of the governor.
