I’ve seen security paradigms shift, but few are as fundamental as the one coming from post-quantum cryptography (PQC). Our current security, built on algorithms like RSA, is strong today. But a powerful quantum computer will one day render them obsolete, creating an existential threat to all encrypted data. A sophisticated attacker can “harvest now, decrypt Read More …

Pragmatic Cloud Networking?
Managing service-to-service communication across multiple Amazon Virtual Private Clouds has always presented challenges. The complexities of VPC peering, intricate routing tables, and the manual overhead of maintaining security policies. Amazon VPC Lattice can help address some of these issues by providing a unified, managed networking service that streamlines connectivity, security, and observability for applications built Read More …
Enhancing Domain Security with CAA Records
In the realm of internet security, ensuring that your domain is protected from unauthorized access and fraudulent activities is paramount. One effective way to bolster this security is through the implementation of a Certification Authority Authorization (CAA) record. A CAA record is a specific type of DNS record that designates which certificate authorities (CAs) are Read More …
Understanding URIs: The Key to Web Resources
In the digital landscape, navigating the vast array of information available online requires a systematic way to identify and access resources. Uniform Resource Identifiers (URIs) are a string of characters that uniquely identifies a particular resource on the internet. What is a URI? A Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) is a standardized way to identify a Read More …

What is an omni model in AI
An omni model in AI, often seen in models like GPT-4o, refers to a unified, end-to-end multimodal architecture capable of processing and generating information across text, audio, vision, and other data types simultaneously, unlike previous models that combined separate specialized components. This integrated approach allows for lower latency, naturalistic conversation, and complex tasks like understanding Read More …
DAS – Direct-Attached Storage
Direct-Attached Storage (DAS) refers to a storage architecture where storage devices, such as hard drives or solid-state drives, are directly connected to a single computer or server without a network in between. This setup contrasts with networked storage solutions like Network Attached Storage (NAS) or Storage Area Networks (SAN), where storage devices are accessible over Read More …
