NIST Finalizes 'Lightweight Cryptography' Standard to Protect Small Devices

Lightweight cryptography is designed to protect information created and transmitted by the Internet of Things, as well as for other miniature technologies. Credit: N. Hanacek/NIST It’s the little things that matter most, as the saying goes, and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has got their back. NIST’s newly finalized lightweight cryptography standard provides a defense from cyberattacks for even the smallest of networked electronic devices. Released as Ascon-Based Li

What happens the day after superintelligence?

Want smarter insights in your inbox? Sign up for our weekly newsletters to get only what matters to enterprise AI, data, and security leaders. Subscribe Now With the release OpenAI’s Chat GPT-5, the world is one step closer to unleashing a general-purpose superintelligence that can cognitively outperform each of us by a wide margin. As this day nears, I am increasingly worried that we are woefully unprepared for the shockwaves this will send through society — and it’s probably not for the reaso

The Apple Watch Series 11 Should Steal This One Galaxy Watch Feature

The Apple Watch needs to step up if it wants to keep pace with Samsung's new Galaxy Watches, and I'm hoping the Series 11 will be the one to do it. It's still one of our favorite smartwatches, but after a month with the Galaxy Watch 8, I'm finding it hard to go back to Siri. Google's Gemini AI -- which debuted on the Galaxy Watch and is now rolling out to other Android models -- is so genuinely helpful that it's spoiled every other voice assistant for me. Gemini isn't just more conversational t

Montreal-based Uno Platform offers a suite of enterprise-grade tools for developers to build cross-platform .NET applications that can be supported on Android, Apple, Linux, and Windows systems. Users code an application once and Uno Platform makes it easy to ship other types of applications from the existing codebase. “If you’re c

Intel CEO turns Trump around, but his job still hangs in the balance

Last week, President Trump called for the dismissal of Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan over “highly CONFLICTED” ties to China, further escalating an already difficult situation for the executive. Today, following a meeting, Trump appeared to soften his stance, even if partially. A quick recap Before joining Intel, Tan worked as CEO for Cadence Design Systems, a firm that just pleaded guilty to an investigation by the Justice Department over charges of “selling its chip-design products to a Chinese milit

Trump flip-flops on Intel CEO, calls him 'success' days after demanding resignation

President Donald Trump said Monday that he and members of his cabinet met with Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan, days after he called on the head of the chipmaker to resign. Intel shares rose 2% in extended trading. "I met with Mr. Lip-Bu Tan, of Intel, along with Secretary of Commerce, Howard Lutnick, and Secretary of the Treasury, Scott Bessent," Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social.

Scientists Design Huge Spacecraft That Could Carry 2,400 Colonists to Alpha Centauri

A team of engineers has come up with designs of a 36-mile spacecraft, dubbed Chrysalis, designed to carry up to 2,400 passengers to Alpha Centauri, the closest star system to our own. As first spotted by Live Science, the ambitious vision recently won the team the top prize at the Project Hyperion Design Competition, which was launched last year by an international consortium of scientists, engineers, and urban planners. Unsurprisingly, Chrysalis sounds like it was yanked straight out of a sci

Sequoia's Moritz backs Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan after Trump's 'artless bullying'

Renowned venture capitalist Mike Moritz called on Intel to stand by CEO Lip-Bu Tan after President Donald Trump demanded his resignation last week. "Trump's assault has no modern precedent," Moritz wrote, calling the attack a "vindictive political sideshow." Moritz, who spent decades at Sequoia Capital and has known Tan for nearly four decades, highlighted the CEO's previous turnaround of Cadence Design Systems . Moritz said there is "no one better equipped to transform Intel's fortunes." "No

A Global Look at Teletext

Brief explanation Teletext is a weird technology. Although often ridiculed as completely archaic, it’s very popular in many countries still today. It seems like the public broadcasters in Europe just can’t get people to stop using it, no matter what new services they provide. You most likely know teletext in the British version, with blocky text graphics in few colours, that came intertwined with the analogue TV-signal. This is called World System Teletext. But that was only the beginning. T

MKBHD reviews CarPlay Ultra

Tech’s favorite YouTuber MKBHD has reviewed CarPlay Ultra for the first time. We’ve seen a few CarPlay Ultra walkthroughs since Aston Martin shipped the first instance of next-gen CarPlay earlier this year. MKBHD always has an approachable and understandable take on tech, of course. His latest video on his cleverly named Auto Focus channel is no exception. CarPlay Ultra in the wild is incredibly rare as it’s only supported in select Aston Martin vehicles for now. There are currently no EVs wi

Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan responds to Trump comments that he should resign

Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan has responded after Donald Trump accused him of being "highly conflicted" and said he should resign, according to The Financial Times. "There has been a lot of misinformation circulating about my past roles," Tan said in a letter to Intel staff. "I wanted to be absolutely clear... I have always operated within the highest legal and ethical standards." Tan said that Intel was engaging with the White House "to address the matters that have been raised and ensure they have the

ECScape: Understanding IAM Privilege Boundaries in Amazon ECS

This post is Part 2 of our educational series on Amazon ECS security. In Part 1 – Under the Hood of Amazon ECS on EC2, we explored how the ECS agent, IAM roles and the ECS control plane provide credentials to tasks. Here we’ll demonstrate how those mechanisms can lead to a known risk when tasks with different privilege levels share the same EC2 host. This cross-task credential exposure highlights the inherent risks of relying on per-task IAM scoping and task execution boundaries when workloads s

Best Resistance Bands of 2025

Resistance bands are usually made out of latex, but there are some that are latex-free and some that come with a fabric cover to prevent injury if it snaps. Resistance bands come in light, medium and heavy weights. The tension weight will vary per brand, but this is how they are usually labeled. There are different types of resistance bands that vary in length and style. Some come in closed loops, some with handles and then there are mini bands.

Stanford sticks with legacy admissions

Stanford University has confirmed its admissions policies for fall 2026 will continue considering legacy status, a decision that could influence access to one of Silicon Valley’s most important talent pipelines. Stanford is also ending its test-optional policy, requiring SAT or ACT scores for the first time since 2021. According to the Stanford Daily, the university is so committed to keeping legacy preferences that it’s withdrawing from California’s Cal Grant program, forgoing state financial

AI Designs Super Safe Sub for Billionaires to Ride Into the Depths of the Ocean

Billionaires have, for a few years now, been insisting that artificial intelligence is clever enough to take huge swaths of jobs while curing disease and solving the energy crisis. As such, we presume that the loudest among them will be first in line to test out a super-safe submersible created by AI to avoid the sort of snafus that resulted in the Titan sub's tragic implosion, which killed its creator and his four well-heeled friends while they were exploring the wreckage of another downed ves

My Lethal Trifecta talk at the Bay Area AI Security Meetup

In the pirate case there’s no real damage done... but the risks of real damage from prompt injection are constantly increasing as we build more powerful and sensitive systems on top of LLMs. I think this is why we still haven’t seen a successful “digital assistant for your email”, despite enormous demand for this. If we’re going to unleash LLM tools on our email, we need to be very confident that this kind of attack won’t work. My hypothetical digital assistant is called Marvin. What happens i

I just want a new Pixel Stand with my Pixel 10, Google

Robert Triggs / Android Authority The Pixel Stand debuted alongside the Pixel 3 and 3XL almost seven years ago, and it was my favorite accessory for those phones. Adding useful Google Assistant features and faster Qi charging made it a must-have accessory for Pixels, and I used it every day. Outside of the iPhone and HMD Skyline supporting MagSafe and Qi2, respectively, wireless charging has been stagnant since then. 2021’s Pixel Stand 2 made some minor improvements to the Pixel Stand formula,

Long-term exposure to outdoor air pollution linked to increased risk of dementia

Dementias such as Alzheimer's disease are estimated to affect more than 57.4 million people worldwide, a number that is expected to almost triple to 152.8 million cases by 2050. The impacts on the individuals, families and caregivers and society at large are immense. While there are some indications that the prevalence of dementia is decreasing in Europe and North America, suggesting that it may be possible to reduce the risk of the disease at a population level, elsewhere the picture is less p

I compared Gemini to Google Assistant on two Wear OS watches. The results weren’t even close

Joe Maring / Android Authority About a month ago, Google started doing something long overdue for Wear OS: it finally began replacing Google Assistant with Gemini. As imperfect as it may be at times, Gemini is a really powerful tool. More importantly, Google Assistant on Wear OS has been showing its age for a while now. I’ve been testing Gemini on the Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 Classic for a little over two weeks. In addition to using it for daily tasks, I’ve also been comparing it side by side wi

Intel CEO responds to Trump resignation call with letter to employees

He was in the middle of trying to get the company back on track when he found himself in Trump’s crosshairs. “The CEO of INTEL is highly CONFLICTED and must resign, immediately. There is no other solution to this problem,” Trump wr

NASA and Google are building an AI medical assistant to keep Mars-bound astronauts healthy

As human-spaceflight missions grow longer and travel farther from Earth, keeping crews healthy gets more challenging. Astronauts on the International Space Station can depend on real-time calls to Houston, regular cargo deliveries of medicines, and a quick ride home after six months. All of that may soon change as NASA and its commercial partners, like Elon Musk’s SpaceX, look to conduct longer-duration missions that would take humans to the Moon and Mars. That looming reality is pushing NASA

Intel’s CEO Lip-Bu Tan under fire amid Washington backlash and board friction

When Lip-Bu Tan took over as Intel’s CEO last March, the market reacted with a 13% stock bump, signaling renewed confidence in the company’s future. But today, after weeks of internal tensions, Intel’s situation has grown even more delicate, now drawing scrutiny from the White House. Internal pressure at Intel has been mounting for months After Tan was appointed as Pat Gelsinger’s successor as Intel CEO, many saw it as a positive move to reset the company’s strategy and leadership.

Leonardo Chiariglione – Co-founder of MPEG

I needed an organisation that would create digital media standards for consumers to seamlessly communicate and industry operate in a global market of interoperable products, services and applications. I conceived that organisation in 1987, established it in 1988I, and called Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG). In four years, MPEG had ushered in the digital media age with MPEG-1, a standard for interactive media used in Video CD, digital audio broadcasting (MP2), and personal music (MP3). Starti

Italy's pizza detectives

As pizza's popularity spreads around the world, a group of top-secret agents are travelling the globe on espionage missions to determine what "real" pizza is. On a sweltering day bleached by the fearsome southern Italian sun, a group of international travellers have gathered a stone's throw from Naples' San Gennaro catacombs, named for the city's patron saint. But these visitors aren't here to venerate the ancient martyr; they've come in service of something equally important to the city's ide
