On this occasion, the honor goes to Andrzej Odrzywołek, a postdoctoral researcher at the Institute of Theoretical Physics, Jagiellonian University, Kraków. In a recently updated, ...

Mixed Boolean-Arithmetic (MBA) obfuscation disguises simple operations like x + y behind tangles of arithmetic and bitwise operators. Malware authors and software protectors rely on it because no ...

Kayleigh Ward and Richard Monteith take issue with the idea that calculators have rendered a proper education in maths unnecessary I’m baffled by Simon Jenkins’ insistence that calculators render a ...

Mixed Boolean-Arithmetic (MBA) obfuscation is a technique that transforms simple boolean expressions into complex expressions by combining arithmetic and boolean operations. It serves the purpose of ...

The Chinese espionage-focused APT tracked as Mustang Panda has used an updated backdoor and several new tools in a recent attack, cybersecurity firm Zscaler reports. Active for over a decade, the ...

Abstract: The Mixed Boolean-Arithmetic (MBA) expression has been widely used by attackers as an effective obfuscation schema to hide malicious code and conceal sensitive data. For deobfuscating MBAs, ...

Everyone knows that arithmetic is true: 2 + 2 = 4. But surprisingly, we don’t know why it’s true. By stepping outside the box of our usual way of thinking about numbers, my colleagues and I have ...

Making history with 42 digits, scientists at Paderborn University and KU Leuven have unlocked a decades-old mystery of mathematics with the so-called ninth Dedekind number. Experts worldwide have been ...

both circuits represent the addition of two numbers, but the arithmetic circuit simply uses one built-in addition gate, and the boolean circuit achieves (4-bit) addition using only boolean operations.
