OpenSSH Post-Quantum Cryptography

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-12-05 11:01:58

OpenSSH Post-Quantum Cryptography OpenSSH supports a number of cryptographic key agreement algorithms considered to be safe against attacks from quantum computers. We recommend that all SSH connections use these algorithms. OpenSSH has offered post-quantum key agreement (KexAlgorithms) by default since release 9.0 (2022), initially via the sntrup761x25519-sha512 algorithm. More recently, in OpenSSH 9.9, we have added a second post-quantum key agreement mlkem768x25519-sha256 and it was made the

What Does Palantir Actually Do?

Palantir is arguably one of the most notorious corporations in contemporary America. Cofounded by libertarian tech billionaire Peter Thiel, the software firm's work with Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the US Department of Defense, and the Israeli military has sparked numerous protests in multiple countries. Palantir has been so infamous for so long that, for some people, its name has become a cultural shorthand for dystopian surveillance. But a number of former Palantir employees tell WIR

SoftBank founder Son makes his biggest bet by staking the Japanese giant's future on AI

cnbc.com Arjun Kharpal 2025-12-05 16:29:35

Masayoshi Son is making his biggest bet yet: that his brainchild SoftBank will be the center of a revolution driven by artificial intelligence. Son says artificial superintelligence (ASI) — AI that is 10,000 times smarter than humans — will be here in 10 years. It's a bold call — but perhaps not surprising. He's made a career out of big plays; notably, one was a $20 million investment into Chinese e-commerce company Alibaba in 2000 that has made billions for SoftBank. Now, the billionaire is hop

AOL is finally shutting down dial-up

Our findings showed a trivial to small reduction in body weight for all diet strategies compared with ad-libitum, and trivial reductions for ADF compared with CER, TRE, and WDF. These associations, however, were only significant among comparisons with ad-libitum diet in moderate-to-long term follow-up durations of at least 24 weeks. ADF

Most adhesives can’t stick to wet surfaces because water and other fluids disrupt the adhesive’s bonding mechanisms. This problem, though, has been beautifully solved by evolution in remora suckerfish, which use an adhesive disk on top of their heads to attach to animals like dolphins, sharks, and even manta rays. A team of MIT scientists has now taken a close look at these remora disks and reverse-engineered them. “Basically, we looked at nature for inspiration,” says Giovanni Traverso, a prof
