Smart devices: Putting a premium on peace of mind
The White House has announced plans to roll out voluntary labeling for internet-connected devices like thermostats and baby monitors that meet certain cybersecurity standards. A new survey of U.S. consumers shows that they are willing to pay a significant premium to tell which gadgets are safe from security attacks before they buy. But voluntary product […] more…
Why computer security advice is more confusing than it should be
If you find the computer security guidelines you get at work confusing and not very useful, you’re not alone. A new study highlights a key problem with how these guidelines are created, and outlines simple steps that would improve them — and probably make your computer safer. more…
Solving rare disease mysteries … and protecting privacy
Researchers have demonstrated a new way of linking personal records and protecting privacy. The first application is in identifying cases of rare genetic disorders. There are many other potential applications across society. more…
Evaluating cybersecurity methods
Researchers created a generic framework that enables an engineer or scientist to evaluate the effectiveness of defense schemes that seek to limit a hacker’s ability to learn secret information by observing the behavior of a victim computer program. more…
How secure are voice authentication systems really?
Computer scientists have discovered a method of attack that can successfully bypass voice authentication security systems with up to a 99% success rate after only six tries. more…
‘Toggle switch’ can help quantum computers cut through the noise
What good is a powerful computer if you can’t read its output? Or readily reprogram it to do different jobs? People who design quantum computers face these challenges, and a new device may make them easier to solve. more…
Quantum computers are better at guessing, new study demonstrates
Researchers have demonstrated a quantum speedup over the most efficient classical computer algorithm possible for what is believed to be the first time. The accomplishment was performed on an IBM Montreal Quantum Falcon r4 27-qubit device. more…
Two qudits fully entangled
Recently quantum computers started to work with more than just the zeros and ones we know from classical computers. Now a team demonstrates a way to efficiently create entanglement of such high-dimensional systems to enable more powerful calculations. more…
Absolute zero in the quantum computer
Absolute zero cannot be reached — unless you have an infinite amount of energy or an infinite amount of time. Scientists in Vienna (Austria) studying the connection between thermodynamics and quantum physics have now found out that there is a third option: Infinite complexity. It turns out that reaching absolute zero is in a way […] more…
Qubits put new spin on magnetism: Boosting applications of quantum computers
Research using a quantum computer as the physical platform for quantum experiments has found a way to design and characterize tailor-made magnetic objects using quantum bits, or qubits. That opens up a new approach to develop new materials and robust quantum computing. more…
New breakthrough enables perfectly secure digital communications
Researchers have achieved a breakthrough to enable ‘perfectly secure’ hidden communications for the first time. The method uses new advances in information theory methods to conceal one piece of content inside another in a way that cannot be detected. This may have strong implications for information security, besides further applications in data compression and storage. more…
Are our pets leaking information about us?
Pet and animal-related apps are creating cybersecurity risks to their owners, new research has shown. more…
Securing supply chains with quantum computing
New research in quantum computing is moving science closer to being able to overcome supply-chain challenges and restore global security during future periods of unrest. more…
Chromo-encryption method encodes secrets with color
In a new approach to security that unites technology and art, E researchers have combined silver nanostructures with polarized light to yield a range of brilliant colors, which can be used to encode messages. more…
Quantum physicists make major nanoscopic advance
In a new breakthrough, researchers have solved a problem that has caused quantum researchers headaches for years. The researchers can now control two quantum light sources rather than one. Trivial as it may seem to those uninitiated in quantum, this colossal breakthrough allows researchers to create a phenomenon known as quantum mechanical entanglement. This in […] more…
Researchers propose methods for automatic detection of doxing
A new automated approach to detect doxing — a form of cyberbullying in which certain private or personally identifiable information is publicly shared without an individual’s consent or knowledge — may help social media platforms better protect their users, according to researchers. more…
