The change is intended to make the network more resilient against modern interception techniques that could compromise user privacy. CGO is built on a Rugged Pseudorandom Permutation called UIV+, designed by cryptography researchers to meet rigorous security requirements. Tor reports this system has been verified for tagging resistance, forward secrecy, longer authentication tags, and efficient operation without adding significant bandwidth overhead. The previous tor1 relay encryption had multiple weaknesses by modern standards, mainly as it relied on AES-CTR encryption without hop-by-hop authentication, allowing a potential adversary controlling relays to modify traffic predictably, creating tagging attack opportunities. It also reused AES keys throughout a circuit, offering only partial forward secrecy, and used a…...

As part of its most recent financial results, the company revealed the current transition rate is ten to twelve points lower than the pace seen during the previous operating system phase-out. For this reason, Dell expects flat PC sales next year, even though about 500 million PCs cannot run Windows 11 due to hardware limitations. Many of these systems remain functional enough that organizations have delayed replacement, Dell says, a mood which seems to affect every segment, from desktops to smaller systems such as a mini PC. Dell reported stronger results from its server and networking units as orders for AI-focused systems reached more than twelve billion dollars in the last quarter. Revenue from servers and networking climbed thirty-seven…...
