    RPKI now protects 70% of internet routes●YhnTechnologyInternet23018 min ago

    A new report from IPinfo states that RPKI, the cryptographic routing security framework, now covers around 70% of internet routes. The milestone marks steady progress in protecting the global routing table against BGP hijacks and misconfigurations, as more networks publish Route Origin Authorizations and validate prefixes. Readers are discussing adoption rates, remaining laggard networks, and what the milestone means for routing security.

    Edgar Allan Poe's 'The Gold-Bug' as a cryptography lesson▼The Gold-Bug: Edgar Allan Poe's story that taught me about cryptography (2024)YhnEnvironmentWeather705 min ago

    A short essay reflects on Edgar Allan Poe's 1843 story 'The Gold-Bug', arguing that its tale of hidden treasure and a cipher-cracking protagonist served as an early introduction to cryptography. Poe's story is often cited as pioneering literature that used a substitution cipher as a central plot device, decades before modern cryptanalysis. Readers are sharing it as a nostalgic example of learning technical ideas through fiction.

    Cryptoint library paper released by Daniel J. Bernstein●The cryptoint library (2025) [pdf]YhnBusinessCrypto2728 min ago

    A 2025 paper introducing the cryptoint library has been published by cryptographer Daniel J. Bernstein on his personal site. The document describes a library built around the cryptoint approach, which aims to make cryptographic integer arithmetic easier to implement securely. The paper has drawn attention from the developer community, with readers discussing its design ideas and practical value for writing safe cryptographic code.
