For example, collision finding can be applied to find collisions in actual hash functions used in cryptography. We will hopefully see more instances where black-box algorithm can be applied to solve ...

When quantum computers become commonplace, current cryptographic systems will become obsolete. Scientists are racing to get ...

Scientists say they’ve developed a framework to make computer algorithms “safer” to use without creating bias based on race, gender or other factors. The trick, they say, is to make it possible for ...

Mashable’s series Algorithms explores the mysterious lines of code that increasingly control our lives — and our futures. “The Algorithm” is impenetrable. It’s mysterious, it’s all-knowing, it’s ...
