So, probably you’ve already heard–most probably not. The Institute of Physics and the New Journal of Physics recently released a paper on the long term performance of the SwissQuantumat CERN on field environment. And since I have taken the ambitious task of making all this technical stuff understandable to the average reader, I decided to try and write in … Continue reading
[Notes: I’m back for the time being. How long? We don’t really know but let’s make the most out of it. So, first on the agenda is the series of non-technical cryptography articles I started almost a year ago. I know this is months past due but then this and that came up then I … Continue reading
(Notes: Continuing the series of articles on cryptography, here I will discuss the two early cryptographic techniques to better prepare readers for succeeding topics where I plan to cover symmetric key cryptography that will run up to the Russian One-Time Pads and the German Enigma which are the highlights of the second world war.) Spartan … Continue reading
(Notes: I’ve been having some interesting debates with a friend lately, and one of the things we did agree upon is the lack of resources in cryptography that the public can easily understand. Well, it is common knowledge that there are discussions in the security community that the best security defense is an educated user. … Continue reading
