Cryptography is no longer confined to academic theory or niche security tools. It underpins everyday software systems, from secure messaging and cloud services to authentication, payments, and distributed networks. Modern applications rely on cryptographic primitives to establish trust, protect data, and authorize actions without exposing sensitive information.
Understanding how cryptography is applied in real systems requires moving beyond definitions and examining how these mechanisms operate in practice, where design trade-offs, performance constraints, and human behavior all play a role.
From Theory to Implementation
At its core, cryptography provides mathematical guarantees around confidentiality, integrity, and authenticity. In practice, these guarantees are delivered through well ...
Hey pals! Welcome to the next article where we're studying a gas sensor from the MQ sensor series. Today, we’ll understand the MQ-6 LPG butane gas sensor and will know the basic information about this product. This sensor has sensitivity for gases like LPG, isobutane propane etc and it is widely used to check any leakage of these gases.

Hey fellow! Welcome to the next article on the MQ series of sensors, and today our focus is on the MQ-8 which is used to sense the presence of hydrogen gas. We know that hydrogen is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless gas that humans can not sense easily. It is not toxic like carbon monoxide and other such examples but still, the excess presence of this gas can be life-threatening because it is highly flammable. The air is a mixture of different gases and hydrogen gas when combined with some specific gases, can be harmful to life. In the presence of a bare flame or other ignition material, hydrogen can start the ignition, and here, the duty of sensors like MQ-8 starts. We’ll examine the basic information about this sensor in detail.
In this article, we’ll start reading about the basic in ...
I hope you are doing well and exploring new things daily. Today's topic is the working of Metal 3D Printing. It refers to the technique of creating a metal part directly from a digital design layer by layer.Instead of subtractive material from a solid block like conventional manufacturing, metal additive manufacturing or metal 3D printing involves additive material addition in building up the object. This can give geometries with intricate designs and internal structures not easily achieved using traditional methods or impossible-to-manufacture conventionally.
Several technologies exist within metal 3D printing. The popular methods include Selective Laser Melting (SLM), Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS), and Electron Beam Melting (EBM). These methods melt metal powders with lasers or el ...
