Unlocking the Potential of Zero-Knowledge Proofs in Blockchain
The intricate world of zero-knowledge proofs and their role within the blockchain.
In software companies a natural conflict exists between security teams and product delivery teams—one's nature is to slow down progress, the other wants to speed it up. The secret is to view security as an enabler, not a hindrance.
Protecting Life-Saving Medical Devices From Cyberattack
Alex Vakulov ponders how to protect the Internet of Medical Things.
Confidential computing enables users to authenticate code running in TEEs, but users also need evidence this code is trustworthy.
Creating the First Confidential GPUs
