Block ciphers, a branch of modern cryptography, are playing a more prominent role in protecting information security as 5G technology develops. Although encryption algorithms of the traditional Feistel structure have great advantages in terms of consistent encryption and decryption, they have poor diffusion effects. Besides, they cannot adapt to the high throughput communication environment and resource-constrained devices. The S-box is the crucial nonlinear component in the block cipher and significantly determines the security of an algorithm.

Russia's rushed attempt to land a probe on the Moon has failed. News that the mission was in trouble came on Saturday when national space agency Роскосмос (Roscosmos) used its Telegram account to reveal that the Luna 25 probe was instructed to enter its pre-landing orbit, but an emergency occurred, and the maneuver was not a success. A subsequent post delivered the bad news: the botched burn missed its mark so badly that communication with Luna 25 was lost. Attempts to reconnect on August 19 and 20 failed, and the space agency's analysis of the erroneous orbit Luna 25 entered saw it "switched to an off-design orbit and ceased to exist as a result of a collision with the lunar surface.

Posted Today, 03:50 PM Hi all, My PC has been acting funny for 5 days or so. Every few hours I am getting a Microsoft verification check (just checking it's you) where it wants me to use finger scan. I am also encountering my browser windows closing unexpectedly (Chrome and Edge). I know these issues can be vague, but I am afraid my PC may be infected.  Steps I have taken so far:  - Installed MalwareBytes and did a scan (no issues found) - Did Windows defender scan, also came out clean.

Unizo Holdings Co became the first Japanese company to default on its bonds in six years when it filed for a court-supervised restructuring in April. The firm, which has hotels and office buildings, said it didn't have the money to pay debt worth 10 billion yen maturing in May. Several of the country's regional banks warned they may not get repaid.
