First the apocalyptic warning: We’re running out of data storage. Chances are that this isn’t something you’ve had to worry about too much in recent years. There was a time, not all that long ago, ...

Researchers at Harvard University are looking for a simple way to store data for a long time – longer than the decades of life preducted for DVDs and flash memory. Encoding data on DNA has been done, ...

The Data Science Lab Data Prep for Machine Learning: Encoding Dr. James McCaffrey of Microsoft Research uses a full code program and screenshots to explain how to programmatically encode categorical ...

If you’ve ever been to a capture the flag hacking competition (CTF), you’ve probably seen some steganography challenges. Steganography is the art of concealing data in plain sight. Tools including ...

When commercial options fail, try using Manchester encoding and other time-tested protocols in low-cost, low bit-rate serial communications. When developing an embedded system that requires basic ...
