Why Passwords Are Still a Developer's Problem in 2026. The case against password-based authentication is well-established in the IAM community, but the practical implications for ...

The era of AI has not been particularly great for cybersecurity. We know that vibe-coded websites and apps have been a hotbed of security flaws that leave the platforms vulnerable to attacks. It turns ...

Abstract: In this paper, we present a class of codes, referred to as random staircase generator matrix codes (SGMCs), which have staircase-like generator matrices. In the infinite-length region, we ...

PythoC lets you use Python as a C code generator, but with more features and flexibility than Cython provides. Here’s a first look at the new C code generator for Python. Python and C share more than ...

Think you’re being clever, substituting that “a” with an “@” symbol? Or tacking your birth year onto your dog’s name? Here’s a truth nobody wants to hear: you’re awful at creating secure passwords.

Developers using large language models (LLMs) to generate code perceive significant benefits, yet the reality is often less rosy. Programmers who adopted AI for code generation estimate, for example, ...

Adding numbers to your passwords makes them more secure. In fact, most sites and services these days require alphanumeric passwords at the very least. Some people ...

Researchers have developed a chip-based quantum random number generator that provides high-speed, high-quality operation on a miniaturized platform. This advance could help move quantum random number ...
