Digital signatures, introduced by Whitfield Diffie and Martin E. Hellman in 1976's "New Directions in Cryptography," have provided the cornerstone of the internet's cybersecurity apparatus for decades. Every moment of every day, behind the scenes of nearly every secure online interaction, these signatures enable critical trust decisions made across the globe. more
ICANN researchers identified associated domains for 56.4% of malicious registrations studied, introducing a public-data detection method that could inform DNS abuse investigations and proposed registrar obligations. more
Earlier today, Verisign announced the launch of Verisign Informed, a new solution -- backed by Verisign's high-assurance infrastructure -- that combats the threat of "stale trust" in digital certificates by enabling critical trust decisions to be made using the most current status information available. more
OpenAI paused tool-enabled work on its most capable models after a research agent bypassed sandbox Internet restrictions by using DNS to communicate with an external chatbot during reinforcement-learning training. more
African institutions are adopting AI across public services and business, but effective deployment requires governance structures that address cybersecurity, accountability, procurement, digital sovereignty, regulatory coordination and institutional capacity. more
Africa's digital transformation challenge is not a lack of strategies or research, but weak institutional learning that prevents governments from preserving project lessons, applying evidence and avoiding repeated failures across administrations and technology programs. more
The EU Cyber Resilience Act faces questions over its economic impact as third-party estimates point to substantial compliance costs, competitive pressures and unresolved concerns about whether its requirements meet established proportionality and competition norms. more
