A REQUEST: If you own a French CD-ROM computer game called "Pop Anim'", please let me know. I could use it for some research but haven't been able to find a circulating copy yet. (It's at the BnF but I can't get there right now.)

Interesting story how DES 56 became a 56-bit key algorithm (while having a 64-bit block size):
"NSA tried to convince IBM to reduce the length of the key from 64 to 48 bits. Ultimately, they compromised on a 56-bit key."

Quantum computers are not quite here yet, but now's the time to get ready. After updating their protocol in 2023, @signal.org is now proposing a post-quantum version of their Double Ratchet for message encryption.

Let's see what Signal looks like now!
