Algorithms for encrypting computer data come in two main varieties: symmetric and asymmetric. Each encryption type has inherent strengths and weaknesses. Symmetric algorithms convert plain-text data ...

Algorithms have taken on an almost mythical significance in the modern world. They determine what you see on social media and when browsing online, help form people’s belief systems, and impact the ...

Developers now have new tools for building bit-true behavior in C++ for algorithm systems and hardware. And the new data types operate at simulation speeds 10 to 200 times faster than traditional ...

High-fidelity simulations of dynamic embedded systems can be invaluable. This follow-up to “Modeling Dynamic Systems” (August 2000) presents some techniques and algorithms you might find useful. In a ...

This article provides a brief overview of the new cryptographic API for the Linux kernel. It is aimed at anyone with a technical interest in Linux, such as system administrators, and other curious ...
