Ethereum researchers are working on ways to deploy a protocol they first introduced earlier this year, which could ...

How does one design a blockchain protocol? Back in 2013, while in Athens, I set out to design a non-proof-of-work-based blockchain protocol motivated by the debt crisis in Greece, looming bank ...

Apple today announced a new post-quantum cryptographic protocol for iMessage called PQ3. Apple says this "groundbreaking" and "state-of-the-art" protocol provides "extensive defenses against even ...

The old and insecure MD5 hashing function hasn’t been used to sign SSL/TLS server certificates in many years, but continues to be used in other parts of encrypted communications protocols, including ...

BastionZero's OpenPubkey, which is a new cryptographic protocol that's designed to fortify the open-source software ecosystem, is now a Linux Foundation open-source project. Docker is also integrating ...
