Doing so also provides a few advantages compared to the integer-based asymmetric cryptography. Building encryption with elliptic curves Public key cryptography is based on mathematically “hard” problems. These are mathematical functions that are easy to perform but difficult to reverse. The problems used in classical asymmetric cryptography are the discrete logarithm problem (exponents are easy, logarithms are hard) and the factoring problem (multiplication is easy, factoring is hard). Elliptic curve cryptography is based on the fact that certain mathematical operations on elliptic curves are equivalent to mathematical functions on integers:...

Furthermore, those who haven’t yet been able to play the game are in for some luck since it’s available to download for free for a week.

Ever since the very first installment into the Harry Potter series, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone (or Philosopher’s Stone, depending on your locale), it was evident that young actress Emma Watson was brimming with potential. And every further Harry Potter film only made that point further. So then, it was no surprise that once the Harry Potter series finally came to a close, the world was waiting with bated breath to see what projects Watson would choose in the future....

As mentioned in our recent review, The Legend of Bum-Bo had some trouble getting out the door. It’s hard to imagine that its complicated launch will persist as the game’s legacy, however, as the new prequel to the pioneering roguelike The Binding of Isaac is a genuinely addictive and smartly-designed tactical puzzler oozing with designer Edmund McMillen’s signatures: beautifully design, puerile humor, pick-up-and-play ease, and macabre charm. It may be odd to consider, but a lot’s happened between Super Meat Boy and Bum-Bo....

The Mortal Kombat tournaments have been going on a long time, even within the story of the games.

Despite the growing importance of social advertising—particularly on Facebook and Instagram—marketers are still faced with a familiar nemesis. Time. With limited time and resources, oftentimes trade-offs are made between managing organic social efforts and optimizing through paid strategy. But this is short sighted decision making. Paid social has much more to offer than increased impressions, clicks, video views and conversions.

The cyber-attacks that befell Estonia in 2007 is a case much discussed and underrated at the same time. Many tend to ignore the eloquent fact that this incident represents the first time when an entire country’s information defense systems and resources were put to the test. Moreover, according to the rumors, Estonia was attacked by foreign entities, which under some circumstances may qualify this little cyber-offensive as a use of force, or even an armed attack, pursuant to UN Charter....

Long before Larson was cast as Carol Danvers in the MCU, she played Envy Adams in Wright’s 2010 film adaptation of Bryan Lee O’Malley’s beloved Scott Pilgrim series. Despite the best efforts of trolls intent on sabotaging Captain Marvel before the film even hit theaters, Marvel has another hit on their hands....

At the height of “Austenmania” in the ’90s, when a stream of films adapting Jane Austen novels occurred, “Emma” was turned into no less than 3 productions; a mini-series starring Kate Beckinsale, a modern retelling starring Alicia Silverstone (Clueless), and the most celebrated version starring Gwyneth Paltrow (incidentally during “Paltrowmania” as well). The fictional town of Highbury has been visited once again in 2020, and a new tale about the well-meaning - but hopelessly arrogant- socialite Emma’s attempts at matchmaking has arrived....
