I wrote an introductory course on cryptography called Crypto 101. It's available for free and pairs well with cryptopals:

That doesn't really explain why , you're just saying that the thin you claimed was desirable is desirable. (I don't disagree! I'm just saying: you haven't advanced your argument or…

This is a fantastic example of applying deception strategies in practice as part of a detection & response plan. The most common use case is as a canary, but it absolutely works as…

FYI: we're planning a followup post for people who are less interested in the Datomic mechanics and more interested in the usefulness to investigations and other security functions…

(I'm one of the founders of Latacora and reviewed the post.) If any of you are at Heart of Clojure, I'll be there both wearing my Latacora hat and my Clojurists Together hat :)

I don't know if I count as a "feline friend", but: SIDH kept the DH shape. Being able to upgrade the protocols we had relatively closely is appealing. "Structure is useful but seem…

We did an updated version of the Cryptographic Right Answers for PQC. Given how quick the field is moving, I'm sure we're going to have to edit it a bunch :) https://www.latacora.c…

These standards are developed out in the open. Are you suggesting a true backdoor, or just "the NSA knows something about lattice algorithms the rest of us don't"?

They may often be used with small embedded computers, but 1 Coral TPU handily beats even a top-end CPU for the stuff Frigate needs it to do -- and it does it at minuscule power dra…

They sold (and continue to sell) TPUs under the Coral brand, and they're pretty popular for edge inference (e.g. Frigate).

My daily driver is a 1986 911 Turbo (aka the 930). That's a nearly 40 year old car, they make a similar new infotainment system that works for even older cars. Thing runs like a dr…
