MIT researchers design a novel encryption method that secures data used in online neural networks

A combination of two encryption techniques may one day allow neural networks to have their computing cake and eat it, too. An article in Science Daily stated that the new technique improves the security of cloud-based machine learning without incurring any penalties in speed. Machine learning requires a lot of computational power. Convolutional neural networks, for […]

Secure quantum communication could soon be available for all, says new research

It’s only a matter of time until quantum computers become mainstream; and when that happens, conventional encryption methods, which so many standard communication tools use online, will be broken. Now a team of scientists have developed a method wherein users will be able to communicate safely and securely between devices that operate based on quantum […]

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 […]

Scientists use Einstein’s theory of relativity to generate random numbers that can never be hacked

Hackers are now finding it easy to crack encryption systems that rely on random number generators, according to a LiveScience article. In response, Colorado-based mathematicians combined quantum mechanics with Albert Einstein’s theory of relativity to create absolutely arbitrary numbers that cannot be predicted or hacked. Random numbers are the backbone of encryption systems. Computers use them […]

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 […]

Chinese researchers have had a breakthrough in spy-proof communications

According to a recent report, a group of Chinese researchers has allegedly finished “the first long-distance quantum secure direct communication.” This could significantly advance the technology that allows the sending of messages that are totally “safe from eavesdropping.” In a paper published on Oct. 22, the team of researchers wrote that the information traveled 2.7 kilometers […]

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, […]
