In this post, I will be writing about steganography. Steganography is another branch of computer science where algorithms are used. I would like to define steganography before I get more deeply into the subject. Its prefix, “stegos”, is a Greek word that means to hide and its suffix, “graphia” is a Latin word that suggests … More More algorithms in computer science – Steganography

Algorithmic game theory is where both algorithm and game theories come into play. It aims to design algorithms around strategic yet at times seemingly unpredictable scenarios just like those in game theory. We’ve previously laid down the foundations of algorithm. Now, it’s time to understand what game theory is all about. Game theory is all … More What Game Theory is All About

Some might be surprised when they hear that encryptions are used in emails. But, when you think about it deeply, it all makes sense since protection of privacy is essential in emails. According to the Microsoft Office website, “Encrypting an e-mail message in Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 protects the privacy of the message by converting … More Encryption in emails

AES, short for Advanced Encryption Standard, is the block cipher used to encrypt all electronic data of the government of the United States. Since 2001, it has been used to protect any sensitive data from leaking to the public and landing onto unauthorized hands. Before its conception, the encryption algorithm being used by the government … More Advanced Encryption Standard

In this post, I will specifically be writing about Bombe, an decipher machine Turing had invented. The “Bombe” was invented to decipher secret messages sent between the Germans during the World War II. It is important to acknowledge that the “Bombe”, despite its fame, is nor the prototype nor the precedent of modern computers. Rather, … More Alan Turing’s “Bombe”

With the onset of technological advancements, we become more and more reliant to it. Almost all our communications and data storage are done through it. Thus, there is a huge demand for tighter security over these transactions. That’s where Transport Layer Security enters the picture. It is designed to secure the communication lines and network … More Transport Layer Security

I would first like to define the Turing Test before I get into the history of the Turing Test. Turing Test is tested to check if a robot is “intelligent in a sense of Artificial Intelligence, which is more commonly known as its acronym, A.I. The Turing Test is also known as the “imitation game” … More The History of the Turing Test

In this post, I will be writing specifically regarding the history of the Turing Machine. Although many acknowledge Turing’s contribution in World War II, they often times fail to recognize Turing’s contributions in computer science. Although the word Turing Machine might ring a bell for some, I would like to clearly define the definition of … More History of the Turing Machine

There is no denying that technology plays a vital role in our lives. Day in and day out, we turn to gadgets for information, safekeeping and maintaining our social networks. It’s quite impossible to live without it. But there are always two sides to a coin. With all the advantages provided, there are also the … More Encryption in Modern Technology

In 2014, “The Imitation Game” was released in theaters. Along with the success of this movie, it also increased the public’s attention on Alan Turing, a historical figure that inspired this movie. In this post, I will be explaining who Alan Turing is and what accomplishments he had made. Alan Turing was born in June … More Who is Alan Turing?
