ML-KEM (Module-Lattice-Based Key Encapsulation Mechanism), formerly known as CRYSTALS-Kyber, is the post-quantum key exchange algorithm standardized by National Institute of Standards and Technology as FIPS 203. Its security is based on the difficulty of certain problems in lattice cryptography,…
Read article: Post-Quantum Cryptography (ML-KEM): The MathFor decades, modern cybersecurity has relied on a handful of cryptographic foundations. Technologies such as RSA and Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) protect everything from online banking and VPNs to software updates and digital signatures. These algorithms have withstood years of scrutiny and…
Read article: Post-Quantum Cryptography (2026): Preparing for the End of RSA and ECCMost people use cryptography every day. They log into websites. They check their bank balances. They send messages. They order things they absolutely do not need from online retailers at 2:00 AM.
Read article: RSA: The Internet’s Favorite Math Trick (Until Quantum Computers Show Up)Disclaimer: I’m not a physicist. This is my attempt to understand quantum computing and the underlying physics, yet keeping it light. I do actually want my traditional audience to read this.
Read article: Introduction To Quantum Computing: Because Regular Computers Apparently Weren’t Complicated EnoughThis is the fifth (and final) post in my “AI / LLM Software Security Series”.
Read article: AI / LLM Software Security: Part 5This is the forth post in my “AI / LLM Software Security Series”.
Read article: AI / LLM Software Security: Part 4When I was writing the Zero Knowledge Proofs: The Math blog post, I had the bright (read stupid) idea of asking ChatGPT to generate an image about math. It didn’t matter which math, didn’t specifically mention ZPTs in the prompt. It initially generated the above image. It’s a good image. It’s the…
Read article: Euler’s Identity: The Single Equation That Connects Five Fundamental Mathematical ConstantsThis is my second article about Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs). If you haven’t read it, check out Part 1 as a starting point.
Read article: Zero-Knowledge Proofs: The MathModern computing systems are built around a strange tradeoff in that proving identity or trust usually requires revealing information. Passwords, account numbers, private keys, medical records, financial history — all of these are routinely exposed simply to verify a claim.
Read article: Zero-Knowledge Proofs: Proving Something Without Revealing Anything“De-dollarization” (moving away from the US Dollar as a reserve currency) is both real and accelerating, but it is gradual, uneven, and multi-dimensional. It is not a sudden collapse of the US dollar’s reserve status, but a persistent shift in the structure of global finance that reflects…
