The first true mobile phones back in the 1980s did exactly one thing: phone calls. It wasn’t until 1994 that carriers introduced what was then a revolutionary idea – using mobile phones to send text messages. I’m old enough to remember when only geeks did it, and it took several years before it really took off as a mass-market thing. Fast-forward to today and, for many of us, the very least-frequent thing we do with our phones is use them to make phone calls....

I’ve complained before about the massive missed opportunity of Apple failing to properly integrate both owned and streamed music within iTunes. I got over that enough to use and enjoy Apple Music, and I’m confident I’ll be continuing my subscription once Apple starts charging my card, despite the raw deal we get on pricing in the UK. But I also agreed with Variety that Apple needed to adopt the same approach for OS X as it does for iOS, splitting out the various iTunes functions into separate apps....

Netflix takes the surprising step of warning away animal lovers from viewing certain harsh scenes in the new nature documentary series Our Planet. Nature documentaries have been a popular staple of TV for decades, but Our Planet marks the streaming giant’s first foray into producing one of their own.

Various forecasts show the market for managed security services growing at double-digit rates. One report from Allied Market Research estimates the market to reach nearly $41 billion by 2022, based on a 16.6% compound annual growth rate between 2016 and 2022.

Asymmetric and symmetric ciphers have similar roles, but they have their own pros and cons. In contrast, hash functions work differently and can be used for various purposes, but they are still cryptographic algorithms. Most ciphers have libraries that make implementation easy; however, this doesn’t offer much benefit if relevant ciphers aren’t secure. Principles that define a secure cipher Ciphers can only be secure if cryptography principles used to define them are followed and implemented properly....
