its operating systems making it more difficult for hackers and other agencies to break their devices encryption. A clear signal of this is Apple’s recent rehiring of security encryption specialist Jon Callas who is the “top expert in practical cryptography” (Menn, 2016). Second, something that has not been a priority but is becoming more and more requested is the inclusion of a wider array of third party applications. Apple to date has been seriously apprehensive of allowing third party apps…

I read the book Nine Algorithms that Changed the Future by John MacCormick. Nine Algorithms that Changed the Future is a 210-page book that covers fascinating algorithms that we all use in our everyday lives.

Uploading a photo to Facebook transmits millions of pieces of information over numerous error-prone network links, yet somehow a perfect copy of the photo arrives intact.” MacCormick’s writings explains…

Virtual currency or “cryptocurrency”, so called because it is a currency that uses a form of cryptography, is a type of currency that exists solely online. One of the most successful cryptocurrencies to emerge Bitcoin, created in 2006, is one of the newest forms of crypto currency and is slowly but surely increasing in popularity. Cryptocurrencies…
