Logjam flaw in the HTTPS protocol | Tangente
A Franco-American team of researchers has just cheated… but for a good cause! Their goal? To verify the cryptographic mechanisms used to secure communications on the Internet.
Pascal's triangle, programming and Fourier | Tangente
Rich in countless combinatorial and numerical properties, Pascal's triangle is ubiquitous in mathematics. Some of its applications in analysis, however, remain little known. The capabilities of the fx-CP400+E computer algebra calculator suggest a signal-processing activity.
