Unlocking the Secrets of Cryptography: A Beginner’s Guide to Breaking Ciphers — Part 1 Photo by Mauro Sbicego on UnsplashHistorical Background Cryptography has a long and fascinating history, dating back to ancient civilizations. The use of codes and ciphers allowed people to send messages that could not be understood by anyone who intercepted them. One of the earliest known examples of cryptography comes from ancient Egypt, where hieroglyphs were often written in a code that only priests and scribes could understand. In ancient Greece, the famous Scytale was used as a cryptographic ..read more

Sudoku is a logic-based number-placement puzzle. In classic sudoku, the objective is to fill a 9×9 grid with digits so that each column, each row, and each of the nine 3×3 sub-grids that compose the grid (also called “boxes”, “blocks”, or “regions”) contains all of the digits from 1 to 9. The puzzle setter provides a partially completed grid, which for a well-posed puzzle has a single solution [1]. Sudoku example and its solution As the nature of the logic, we may fill empty cells with numbers and have many solution candidates. Trying to solve this problem with a brute force approach ..read more

Based on semantic modeling it requires no ML/DL model training or existing text corpora. NLPCraft is simple to use: define a semantic model and intents to interpret user input. Securely deploy this model and use REST API to explore the data using natural language from your applications. Why NLI Natural Language Interface (NLI) enables users to explore any type of data sources using natural language augmenting existing UI/UX with fidelity and simplic ..read more

31 states at the United States have established laws regulating the secure destruction or disposal of personal information, with at least a dozen states imposing broader data security requirements and California is a pioneer belong them. The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) was enacted in 2018 and takes effect on January 1, 2020. This landmark piece of legislation secures new privacy rights for California consumers. The CCPA grants new rights to California consumers: The right to know what personal information is collected, used, shared or sold, both as to the categories and specific pie ..read more
