Cryptographic algorithms are the backbone of secure systems, ensuring integrity and confidentiality. However, developers often misuse these algorithms by using weak passwords and constant keys. Enter CRYLOGGER, an open-source tool designed to detect these misuses dynamically. It logs the parameters
You might have heard about Ethereum's big change from Proof-of-Work (PoW) to Proof-of-Stake (PoS). This change was meant to reduce the energy use of mining Ether, the cryptocurrency. Researchers looked into how investors reacted to this change. They studied how Ethereum (ETH), Ethereum Classic (ETC)

Now, picture this: you're using a recommendation app to help you dec
In recent years, researchers have been working hard to fix a big problem with data security in Mifare Classic. One of the issues is that it doesn't create random numbers very well. This makes it easier for attackers to use something called a SAT solver to break the security. To make Crypto-1 stronge
Cryptography is crucial for data security in today's software systems. That's why developers are turning to static analysis tools, known as crypto-detectors, to spot and fix problems with crypto-API use. But do these tools really work? To answer this, researchers created the MASC framework. This fra
Ever tried to follow where your lunch came from? From farm to your table, it's a maze of suppliers, each with their own way of doing things. The construction industry faces a similar problem.
