Sports are data-driven: individual performances are measured using statistics and teams leverage data analytics to outperform competition. Sports media-which is created by media outlets, teams, and individuals-engage its consumers by creating narratives about the sport, teams, and players. Due to the importance of data in the sports world, data visualizations are a pillar in the sports media landscape. These data visualizations, while appearing to accurately convey data to its consumers, can be misinformative; media creators often have incentives to present specific narratives which don't always fit the data. This work contributes to an existing misinformative data visualization taxonomy. In doing so, it makes it easier to understand the techniques and design choices used to create misinformative visualizations in all domains, not only in sports media.

"Radio frequency identification" (RFID) systems are ubiquitous in today's world. In an RFID system, it is a desirable to attain mutual authentication between a reader and a tag before commencing application-level communications. This is because tags should not share secret information with unknown parties and readers need to defend against tag impersonation. Authentication protocols designed for communication between computers, however, are not appropriate for RFID systems because tags are extremely resource constrained (low energy, small memory, etc.). Thus, there have been many attempts to design secure and practical authentication protocols for RFID systems over the years since RFID systems became prevalent. This survey summarizes and compares these protocols.

Today, the majority of the web’s content and user data is controlled by a few large tech companies. There is a growing movement to devolve this control evenly across the entire internet, representing the transition to Web3. In order for this movement to be successful, technologies and protocols must be developed to enable web users to use the web securely without trusting any other user. That is, today’s web is structured so that users must trust these companies, so trustless alternatives haven’t already been developed. Broadly, this movement emphasizes developing peer-to-peer networks, blockchains, and distributed storage systems. These systems make use of cryptographic primitives to guarantee security.
