The privacy debate is mostly centered around government snooping especially after the stunning revelations about the sheer volume of raw data that governments and their agencies collect under the guise of protecting national security interests. The Domestic Surveillance Directorate of the NSA says, if you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear about …
In the old days, it used to be a big deal for listening devices or bugs to be placed into your home. Here is a clip from the movie Charlie Wilson’s War where a CIA agent placed a bug onto a bottle of scotch given to Senator Charlie Wilson. Charlie Wilson gets all offended that …
Cambridge Quantum Computing uses photonics and quantum entanglement to generate truly random numbers. They also constantly verify that quantum randomness is being maintained. Failure to of quantum randomness tests indicates that there has been interference and tampering. Brian WangBrian Wang is a Futurist Thought Leader and a popular Science blogger with 1 million readers per …
China created a satellite for secure distribution of keys for encrypted data. The hope was that this would enable totally secure unbreakable transmission of the keys for coded data. Quantum key distribution (QKD) is a secure communication method which implements a cryptographic protocol involving components of quantum mechanics. It enables two parties to produce a …
There is a Quantum hacking lab which is a site of the Russian Quantum Center. This site has a collection of videos, research papers and presentations about quantum cryptography and quantum security. Vadim Makarov worked at the University of Waterloo for many years and recently has been in Shanghai and Moscow. Brian WangBrian Wang is …
Neil Jacobstein gave a workshop on AI and Machine Learning Implementation at the 2019 Singularity Summit. It turns out there is a fatal flaw in most companies approaches to machine learning, the analytical tool of the future. 85% of the projects do not get past the experimental phase and so never make production (Forbes, Enrique …
Fujitsu has a Digital Annealer with 8192 Qubits and a 1 million qubit system in the lab. This is a classical hardware emulation of quantum annealing (analog) system. This is not a quantum computer but hardware emulation. David Worral, Head of Quantum Technologies at Cambridge Quantum Computing, indicated that Fujitsu has a 1 million qubit …
Cambridge Quantum Computing has a demo of its quantum key security generation at Ironbridgeapi.com. Above is a picture of a quantum random key generation device IronBridge is the world’s first commercially available certifiable Quantum Cryptographic Device. IronBridge addresses major security challenges and vulnerabilities in today’s infrastructure and has important structural implications for cybersecurity and quantum …
The US Military will conduct high altitude MESH networking radar tests over South Dakota to provide a persistent surveillance system to locate and deter narcotic trafficking and homeland security threats. High altitude balloons will fly at twice the altitude of passenger jets and use radar to simultaneously track many individual vehicles day or night, through …
Facebook has created devices that read all the words of your inner voice and Elon Musk’s Neuralink is creating brain-computer interfaces (BCI) that will have thousands and later millions of nodes. Temporarily mitigating remote mind-reading of your inner voice could involve headphones for music and distractions of your own thoughts to less sensitive topics. However, …
The Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) is looking at 46 ways to identify a person for mobile devices that do not involve passwords. They are looking at how you walk, swipe and hold your device among other methods to not use passwords. Continuous multi-factor authentication (CMFA) will run seamlessly in the background allowing access through …
