Chemist Anne Lüscher showed at 39C3 how synthetic DNA can be used for data storage and tamper-proof authentication.

Quantum computing won’t break Bitcoin in 2026, but attackers are already preparing. Here’s how crypto is moving toward post-quantum security, and how ready it is.

The system employs HMAC-SHA256 (Hash-based Message Authentication Code using SHA-256) for license integrity verification. SHA-256 refers to the Secure Hash Algorithm producing 256-bit hash values (see ...

Hoskinson warned that rushing post-quantum upgrades could seriously slow down blockchain networks and raise costs.

Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson said post-quantum cryptography exists, but would slow blockchains without hardware support.

Researchers at CUSAT have patented a system that enhances digital forensic analysis. This technology, which combines cryptographic hash values, device identifiers, and geo-location data, improves the ...

Blockchain network Aptos is moving toward a post-quantum signature option, reflecting growing concern that advances in quantum computing are no longer purely theoretical and could eventually affect ...

Abstract: Hash functions today are ubiquitous in nearly all kinds of cryptographic applications. They can be found at the core of digital fingerprinting or watermarking and even in block or stream ...

From the paper Fast Hashing of Variable-Length Text Strings (archived) by Peter K. Pearson with additional edits by jeblad (Dec 13, 2025). The core of the Pearson hash algorithm is fast execution on ...

Over the past several months, it has become clear that the Internet and our Privacy have been fundamentally compromised. A Private search engine DuckDuckGo claims ...
