A fresh approach to new and secure encryption

SymTrust project aims to develop new symmetric cryptography methods based on sound security arguments, balancing efficiency and security. Researchers will study existing ciphers and conditions of cryptanalysis to set new standards in information encryption.

Chromo-encryption method encodes secrets with color

Researchers developed a new encryption method that encodes secret messages using brilliant colors created by silver nanostructures reacting to polarized light. The method's unique chiral response makes it more secure than traditional binary codes.

Codebreakers crack secrets of Mary Queen of Scots’ lost letters

A team of international codebreakers has deciphered 57 previously unknown letters written by Mary Queen of Scots while imprisoned in England. The letters provide insights into her captivity and communication with French ambassador Michel de Castelnau, including complaints about poor health and negotiations for release.

Researchers use WWII code-breaking techniques to interpret brain data

A team of researchers has developed a cryptography-inspired technique to decode brain data, predicting arm movements in monkeys with unprecedented accuracy. This approach could lead to the creation of prosthetic limbs that can directly interpret user thoughts, revolutionizing quality-of-life for individuals with paralysis.

UCSD scientists explain and improve upon 'enigmatic' probability formula

UCSD researchers have developed a new estimator that outperforms the historic Good-Turing formula under all conditions. The new estimator, called attenuation, evaluates the highest possible ratio between the probability assigned to each symbol in a sequence by any distribution and the corresponding probability assigned by the estimator.
