[Links of the Day] 14/06/2017 : Formally proven HTTPS replacement, Kisrhombille geometry public key cryptosystem using Mersenne Numbers

Everest: Towards a Verified, Drop-in Replacement of HTTPS. The authors ( team of Microsoft, MIT, INRIA) propose a complete, verified replacement of  TLS and other components of HTTPS. Entirely written in F* for provability, Everest is then compiled into a low-level language. This is a highly praiseworthy solution. However, there is still a great portion of the dev world that do not completely embrace or understand formal verification. And until the big corporation ( Google, Microsoft, AWS, etc.. ) start pushing such library the adoption will remain marginal.
Public-Key Cryptosystem via Mersenne Numbers : an interesting new approach to delivering new Public key cryptosystem, for crypto buff only.
Kisrhombille geometry : tessellation of plane using rhombic faces divided in a centre point into four triangles. While Voronoi tesselation tend to still have my preference this type of tessellation has a high potential and like all of them, they are really pretty :)
