Well-now... a tightly-coordinated and well-crafted primer targeting Bitcoin and Ethereum, two ponderously heavier-than-air subjects, weighed down by lucre of-a-sort, and the need for encrypted fungibility. Enjoy.
Interesting IAM posting by Steve Mowll and Chris Williams, targeting IAM and AD integration with a Yin-Yang view... Read it and you may find some truth beyond vendor fiction.

Superlative study (funded by the Department of Defense - Army Research Office) - via Duke University's Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Durham, Nort Carolina and the Salk Institute for Biological Studies - Integrative Biology Laboratory in La Jolla, California - targeting the apparent similarities between artifical and biologic network implementations. Today's must read!
“The founders of the Internet spent a lot of time considering how to make information flow efficiently,” says Salk Assistant Professor Saket Navlakha, coauthor of the new study that appears online in Neural Computation on February 9, 2017. “Finding that an engineered system and an evolved biological one arise at a similar solution to a problem is really interesting.”

Harsh you may ask? Read the El Reg post for the full details... H/T
Roland Pease - writing for the BBC Radio Science Unit, has crafted this well-reported piece, targeting the PRC's Micius satellite, engineered to provision the fundamentals of an ostensibly 'unbreakable' crypto-mehodology, i.e., quantum entanglement (in this case, wierding twins)...
"Chinese scientists have pulled off a major feat with one of the sub-atomic world's weirdest phenomena: photons that behave like twins and experience the same things simultaneously, even over great distances." - via Phys.org
via John Leyden, plying his trade at El Reg, comes this tremendous piece on FNaaS - based on the new report by TrendMicro detailing Fake News as a Service (PDF). Hat Tip to Trey Blalock at Firewall Consultants.
