A formula used to turn ordinary data, or "plaintext," into a secret coded message known as "ciphertext." The ciphertext can reside in storage or travel over unsecure networks without its contents ...

Reed–Solomon codes have long been celebrated for their robust error-correction capabilities in digital communications and data storage. Decoding algorithms for these codes continue to evolve, aiming ...

Mainstream encryption in use today may become vulnerable within years instead of decades after Chinese researchers proposed a new code-breaking algorithm to run on a small quantum computer built from ...

Nearly a year after Elon Musk first floated the idea of making Twitter’s recommendation algorithm public, the company has posted the source code for its recommendation algorithm on GitHub. In a ...

In the age of Facebook and Netflix, the word “algorithm” has become so ubiquitous, and its connotation so amorphous, that it’s verging on jargon—maybe even cliché. The Atlantic’s Ian Bogost has ...

ByteDance-owned TikTok on Thursday refuted a report stating that the platform is working on a clone of its recommendation algorithm for its 170 million U.S. users. What Happened: TikTok intends to ...

Also known as "Walsh-Hadamard code," it is an algorithm that generates statistically unique sets of numbers for use in encryption and cellular communications. Known as "pseudo-random noise codes," ...
