Given enough computer power, desire, brains and some luck, the security of most systems can be broken. But there are cryptographic and algorithmic security techniques, ideas and concepts out there ...

Researchers with a DARPA-led team are looking into new ways to combat reverse engineering by using obfuscation to tidy up shoddy commercial and government security. Researchers with a DARPA-led team ...

The ease at which criminals can reverse engineer software makes for lucrative transgressions with national security implications, prompting government-backed researchers to seek innovations to shore ...

I am the founder and CEO of Apriorit, a software development company that provides engineering services globally to tech companies. Nowadays, cyber attackers are armed with an impressive range of ...

PALO ALTO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--NTT Research, Inc., a division of NTT (TYO:9432), along with UCLA and the University of Washington, today announced that a paper co-authored by cryptographers ...

The method was called “indistinguishability obfuscation,” or IO. The authors touted it as a “central hub” for all of cryptography—a unified basis upon which to reconstruct familiar cryptographic tools ...

A two-year-old cryptographic breakthrough has proven difficult to put into practice. But new advances show how near-perfect computer security might be surprisingly close at hand. The method was called ...

Reverse engineering and tampering attacks threaten every mobile app, yet many apps apply basic code hardening techniques (or none at all!) to defend against these attempts. In fact, research has shown ...

In 2018, Aayush Jain, a graduate student at the University of California, Los Angeles, traveled to Japan to give a talk about a powerful cryptographic tool he and his colleagues were developing. As he ...
