Cryptographers have demonstrated that external protections for AI models like ChatGPT are inherently vulnerable to bypass attacks. Using cryptographic tools such as time-lock puzzles and substitution ciphers, researchers prove that any safety filter operating with fewer computational resources than the core model can be exploited, exposing an unavoidable gap in AI security.

Servo's November update introduces parallel CSS parsing, expanded cryptographic algorithm support, and multi-window capabilities. Version 0.0.3 brings significant performance improvements and new web platform features while stabilizing the experimental browser engine.

The Internet Engineering Task Force faces intense debate over post-quantum cryptography standards for TLS 1.3, with security experts warning against weakening hybrid protections to meet regulatory demands, highlighting a critical tension in preparing for quantum computing threats.

For three decades the NSA has quietly nudged the cryptographic standards that underpin everyday digital life, a tug‑of‑war that began with the 1970s DES controversy and continues to shape how private and public sectors protect data. The story traces how a Stanford professor’s research clashed with government secrecy, the lasting implications for privacy and security, and the fragile trust that still defines the relationship between academia and intelligence agencies.

As quantum computing advances threaten current encryption standards, Cryptography 101 announces a comprehensive course series on post-quantum cryptography. The curriculum covers lattice-based algorithms, hash signatures, and cryptanalysis tools critical for future-proofing digital security. Starting August 2024, these courses address urgent industry needs for quantum-resistant expertise.

Security Now! Episode 211's 'Great Zero Challenge' spotlighted the fundamental weaknesses in the MD5 hashing algorithm by daring researchers to generate a file with an all-zero hash. This deep dive explores how this cryptographic experiment foreshadowed real-world exploits and why its legacy still haunts modern security practices.
