Intel is developing the HTTPA protocol, which complements HTTPS.

Posted on

Engineers at Intel proposed a new protocol called HTTPA (HTTPS Attestable), which enhances HTTPS with additional security guarantees for the computations made. HTTPA ensures the integrity of the user's request processing on the server and verifies that the web service is trustworthy and that the code running in a TEE (Trusted Execution Environment) on the server has not been altered due to hacking or administrator intervention. HTTPS protects […]

Release of crabz 0.7, a utility for multithreaded compression and decompression, written in Rust.

Posted on

The utility crabz has been released, implementing multi-threaded compression and decompression of data, similar to the utility pigz. Both utilities are multi-threaded versions of the gzip program, optimized for multi-core systems.
