Kryptor FPGA: Open-source hardware end-to-end encryption


https://www.electronics-lab.com/kryptor-fpga-open-source-hardware-end-end-encryption/

Data security and privacy are becoming more of a necessary requirement for the Internet of Things (IoT), and other communication-based solutions. This is because for these solutions to become ubiquitous in homes, businesses, and agencies around the world, they have to be immune to data theft or even bad actors who try to cause system […]

Ambient humidity energy harvesters could compete with solar cells
