Updates for openSUSE Leap releases […]
The ITB project has been introduced, developing a symmetric cryptographic isolator designed to wrap standard pseudorandom functions (PRF) and hash primitives (AES, BLAKE2/3, Areion, and others) in a chained combinatorial and topological barrier. Unlike classical block and stream modes of encryption, the ITB architecture aims at structural isolation of the internal primitive, preventing the spread of differential and linear characteristics, algebraic linearization, and direct […]
