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 ...

Raw code for “unbreakable” encryption, based on the principles of quantum physics, has been generated at record speed over optical fiber at the Commerce Department’s National Institute of Standards ...

A couple of weeks ago, my home office ground to a standstill because my trusty Wi-Fi router of nearly six years decided to irrevocably quit on me. Not surprisingly ...

One of the more interesting – and some say controversial -- pieces of news to come out of the recent 2023 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas was a claim by Chinese scientists who say they’ve ...

Later this week on 28 January, the National Museum of Computing will host a virtual talk exploring the world of unsolvable encryption codes. The “uncrackable” encrypted messages found in a number of ...

Encryption coding schemes for asynchronous data used in message/speech communication systems typically employ an LFSR-based (linear feedback shift register) design. Such a design creates a single ...

Two groups of scientists have separately implemented computing schemes that threaten the assumptions made in modern encryption technology. Now, we don't pretend to understand the quantum mechanics ...

Antivirus software vendor Kaspersky is launching an international effort to try to crack the encryption used in a "blackmailer" virus that locks up data on a victim's computer. The company announced ...
