SAN FRANCISCO, RSA Conference -- In light of yet another SSL vulnerability this week, any improvements to the underpinnings of encryption would be welcome. One weakness of encryption algorithms -- one ...

At first glance, video games, gambling, and cryptography seem to have nothing to do with each other, but in reality, they all use 'random numbers ', and modern people's lives cannot be established ...

It's not the IoT vendors' fault. Lack of a cryptographically secure pseudo-random number generator subsystem for the internet of things devices will be vulnerable. The confidentiality and integrity ...
