Lightweight Encryption Protocols for Resource-Constrained IoT Devices

Lightweight encryption protocols exist because standard cryptography assumes resources that most IoT devices don't have. A temperature sensor running on a coin cell battery cannot afford the RAM, CPU cycles, or power draw that AES-256 or RSA-2048 demand on a server. This gap between what conventional encryption needs and what embedded hardware can supply has produced an entire category of ciphers ...

C99 real mode compiler written in TS that outputs raw bootable 16bit binaries

Hi, a few years ago I wrote a C99 compiler that generates a bootable binary which, once loaded onto a floppy disk, can be run in x86 real mode. It supports x87 floating-point operations, has a simple IR, optimizes the generated code, and produces output of fairly decent quality (by toy compiler standards). Maybe someone will find it interesting. submitted by /u/dywan_z_polski [lin...

A Secure and Efficient Image Encryption Scheme Based on Chaotic Systems

Chaotic systems have become one of the most practical foundations for image encryption because they generate sequences that are deterministic yet behave unpredictably, sensitive to even tiny changes in initial conditions. This property maps directly onto what image encryption needs: pixel-level randomness that's reproducible only if you know the exact starting parameters, which effectively become ...

I Built a Multi-Agent Coding Orchestrator. It Kept Choosing Zero Workers.

I expected more AI agents to make coding faster. They didn’t. That was not the result I was looking for, but it ended up being the most interesting result of the project. Over the past few weeks, I have been building Sol-Luna Orchestrator, an open-source orchestration layer for OpenAI Codex. The idea started with a simple question: What if one strong AI could decide when it actually needed h...

Why Cloud Storage Needs More Than Just a Password

Cloud storage security can no longer rely on a password as its main line of defense. Attackers have shifted their focus from breaking encryption to simply logging in, and they are succeeding at a scale that should worry anyone storing sensitive data in the cloud. Identity-based attacks now account for the majority of cloud breaches, which means the weakest point in most storage systems isn't the i...

100 Days of DevOps and Cloud (AWS), Day 27: Undo Isn't a Switch, and Neither Is Public

Two of the most common requests in this job are "undo that" and "make it public." Both sound like a single action. Neither one is. Day 27 was the day both of those turned out to be several things wearing one word. One Git task, one AWS task. Revert a commit that has already been pushed, then configure a VPC so an EC2 instance inside it can actually reach the internet. The tasks come from the Kode...

Building EduGuideAI: An Ultra-Fast Conversational Voice Agent for Bharat in 10 Days

Introduction: The Problem & The Vision Navigating academic roadmaps, entrance exams, admissions, and financial aid can be an overwhelming journey for students across India. Text-heavy portals, complex application forms, and confusing documentation guides often create barriers rather than bridges. To bridge this gap, I built EduGuideAI—an interactive, ultra-low-latency voice assistant designed...

Breaking Down the Shield: Common Misconceptions About Data Privacy

Data privacy is one of those topics everyone has an opinion on, but few people fully understand, and that gap is exactly where bad decisions get made. Most people assume they are either fully protected by the law or fully exposed with nothing to be done about it, and both extremes are wrong. The reality sits in the messy middle, shaped by consent mechanics, anonymization limits, and enforcement pa...

Why Cloud Storage Needs More Than Just a Password

Cloud storage security still gets treated as a login problem, but the numbers say otherwise. Compromised identities now account for over 70% of cloud breaches, and human error drives 88% of all data breach incidents overall. A password, no matter how long or how often it's rotated, is a single point of failure sitting in front of an ever-expanding attack surface. If that one credential falls, ever...

Lean创始人访谈：Handwritten Math Will Change Dramatically

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KzdYKeAqWhY 题目：《Lean 创始人访谈全记录：当形式化验证遇上 AI，手写数学与软件验证将如何被重塑》 第（一）部分 开场与核心命题：从“测试只能证明有 bug”到“证明可确保无 bug” （0% - 8%） Dijkstra 名言引出形式化验证的根本价值：主持人以 Dijkstra 的名言“程序测试可用于揭示 bug 的存在，但永远无法证明 bug 的不存在”开场，指出 Lean 与形式化证明的意义恰恰在于“证明 bug 不可能发生”。 Lean 的基础定位：Lean 既是一门编程语言（可以写代码），也是一个证明系统（可以对代码写性质并用机器可检查的证明来验证）。它提供绝对正确的保证，并拥有多个独立的检查器。 Lean 应被视为平台：用户可以在 Lean 上写代码、写关于代码的性质命题、并...

From Enigma to Modern Ciphers: A Short History of Secret Codes

Secret codes decided the outcome of World War II before a single soldier read the message they protected. The German military trusted a typewriter-sized machine called Enigma to scramble its orders into what looked like random noise, and for years that trust was justified. Then a small group of Polish mathematicians, followed by the codebreakers at Bletchley Park, found the cracks. The story of ho...

How I Vibe-Coded a Fast Client-Side Word Counter Tool using AI

Hey DEV community! 👋 I wanted to share a quick project I built using AI-assisted development (Vibe Coding): a lightweight, real-time Online Word Counter Tool. As an SEO specialist, I often need quick text analysis (word count, reading time, character limits). Instead of using bloated third-party sites, I decided to build one using pure JS/PHP with AI guidance. 💡 Key Features Built: ...

Why Scam Infrastructure Is More Than a Website

The security industry still tends to describe scam infrastructure through the most visible artefact: the malicious website. That framing is convenient because websites are easy to scan, classify, block and remove. It is also operationally incomplete. A modern scam operation is better understood as a distributed service chain composed of acquisition channels, impersonation assets, communication me...
