Computer scientists invent a way to embed hidden info in ordinary text

A newly invented text steganographic (“hidden writing”) method can conceal information in seemingly plain text. The method is called FontCode, and it works by making minute alterations to the shapes of fonts in text to form an encoded message, an article in Science Daily states. Many earlier text and document methods are limited to certain […]

Army scientists leverage brain-like computer to crack codes, solve battlefield problems quicker

Military researchers have come across a terrifying use for brain-like computer architectures. They’re using these powerful neuromorphic computers to break the tried-and-tested public key encryption that protects most modern-day internet communications, according to a ScienceDaily article. Neuromorphic computers are so powerful that they can be built to small specifications that require less electricity. They’re also able to perform large […]

Researchers create “virtually indestructible” chips that are also unhackable, study finds

Threats to cybersecurity aren’t just limited to the home or office environment. There are some people who have to handle highly-sensitive data on a routine basis while also enduring harsh environmental conditions. It’s for people like these that researchers in South Korea have tried to come up with a more reliable cyber security solution. There […]

China leaps ahead of USA on quantum computing research; could spell end to encryption, demolishing crypto currencies and national security

Quantum communications is considered by many to be the future of computing technology, as it represents a means by which to create “un-hackable” super-computer networks that perform better and more securely than anything currently in use. But the greatest advancements in this next-level technology are reportedly taking place in China, not in the United States, […]
