Code-based cryptography is a promising branch of post-quantum cryptography that exploits the inherent complexity of decoding linear error-correcting codes. Traditional schemes, such as the McEliece ...

Ever since writing has existed, people have wanted to send secret messages to one another--and others have wanted to intercept and read them. This is the second installment of a blog series taking you ...

This is the third installment in Reason's four-part documentary series titled "Cypherpunks Write Code." Watch the complete series here. In 1977, a team of cryptographers at MIT made an astonishing ...

Introduction: A revolutionary cipher -- Cryptology before 1500: a bit of magic -- The black chambers: 1500-1776 -- Crypto goes to war: the American Revolution -- Crypto goes to war: the American Civil ...

Cryptographic algorithms are high-performance, secure engines that require considerable space in a design. When countermeasures are added to thwart security attacks, the space and memory requirements ...

Think about the humble envelope. For centuries this paper enclosure has shielded important information from prying eyes that might otherwise steal a glance at an unprotected note. Also, by placing ...

Q: If I encrypt my .class files and use a custom classloader to load and decrypt them on the fly, will this prevent decompilation? A: The problem of preventing Java byte-code decompilation is almost ...

I dont know what other forum to put this on...sooo. ;P <P>I remember reading a while back about some code book that had a bunch of cryptography puzzles in it. Like a puzzle book, i guess. <P>I wanted ...
