Fourteen cryptography ideas that fit on a shirt
Fourteen ideas from applied cryptography, compressed onto shirts without losing what they mean, from trapdoors and side channels to forward secrecy and Y2Q.
Seven Things in Cleartext I Didn't Invent
Seven technical details in a techno-thriller that readers assume were invented for the plot, traced to the standard, paper or order each actually came from.
Google's quantum threat to Bitcoin: what the paper actually says
A new Google Quantum AI paper shows that breaking Bitcoin's elliptic curve signatures could require fewer than 500,000 physical qubits, roughly a 20x reduction from prior estimates. The result is real. The panic is not.
Crypto agility: designing systems that survive broken cryptography
Crypto agility is the ability to swap cryptographic primitives without redesigning systems. What it requires in practice, and why the PQC transition demands it.
