This is interesting research: "On the Security of the PKCS#1 v1.5 Signature Scheme": Abstract: The RSA PKCS#1 v1.5 signature algorithm is the most widely used digital signature scheme in practice. Its two main strengths are its extreme simplicity, which makes it very easy to implement, and that verification of signatures is significantly faster than for DSA or ECDSA. Despite the… Continue reading Evidence for the Security of PKCS #1 Digital Signatures
Yay, researchers trained an algorithm to turn your captions into (nightmarish) images. Continue reading This AI Creates Horrifying Images Based On Your Words
Funding technological solutions to algorithmically-generated fake videos only puts a bandage on the deeper issues of consent and media literacy. Continue reading There Is No Tech Solution to Deepfakes
One scoop of “copy & paste to screw with the algorithm” between two slices of “limiting news feed posts to 25 friends”. A baloney sandwich! Continue reading Facebook news feed changes – it’s a hoax!
A spokesperson told Motherboard the company “regrets that it appeared in this unfortunate context.” Continue reading Facebook Added Balloons and Confetti to Posts About the Earthquake in Indonesia
What would you say if someone told you that the foundational technology upon which most of your security protections are built will be completely nullified in 10 to 15 years? Sounds like FUD, but according to many experts, this day of reckoning is com… Continue reading Quantum Research Puts Expiration Date on Modern Cryptography Methods
Amazon has swallowed retail, and now has begun banning and threatening to ban what it deems to be problematic customers. Continue reading Amazon Wants You to Shop at Amazon as Long as You Follow the Rules It Doesn’t Tell You About
Algorithms that can make video game levels humans want to play can automate aspects of game design. Continue reading AI Can Generate ‘Doom’ Levels Now
Computer programming is a lot like chess. It is fairly simple to teach people the moves. But knowing how the pieces move isn’t the reason you can win. You have to understand how the pieces work together. It is easy to learn the mechanics of a for loop or a Java interface. But what makes programs work are algorithms. There are many books and classes dedicated to algorithms, but if you are a visual learner, you might be interested in a site that shows visualizations of algorithms called VisuAlgo.
The site is from [Dr. Steven Halim] and is meant for …read more
