Opening the gate to robust quantum computing: New technique for solid-state quantum info processing Apr 9th 2012, 17:39 Scientists have overcome a major hurdle facing quantum computing: How to protect quantum information from degradation by the environment while simultaneously performing computation in a solid-state quantum system. New quantum encryption method foils hackers Apr 2nd 2012, 13:43 Scientists have found a new quantum encryption method to foil even the most sophisticated hackers. Researchers have come up with a simple solution to the untrusted device problem. Their method is called "Measurement Device Independent QKD." The aim is to detect subtle changes that occur when quantum data is manipulated by a third party. To combat identity theft, protect computer, experts say Mar 19th 2012, 15:17 Having a triple-threat combination of protective software on your computer greatly reduces your chances of identity theft, according to a new study. Who goes there? Verifying identity online Feb 17th 2012, 19:57 We are all used to logging into networks where we have a unique identity, verified by the network server and associated with our account for other members of the network to see. Such an identity-based network system is useful because it is relatively simple. However, there are three major drawbacks including loss of anonymity of communicating users, misplaced trust and identity theft. Genetics-inspired research prevents cyber attacks Feb 14th 2012, 17:17 Leveraging the concept of "survival of the fittest," researchers are fighting the continual evolution of computer viruses, worms and malware with evolution by developing the first-ever automated computer configurations that adjust as quickly as the threats. Uploading geotagged digital photos could put kids at risk Feb 9th 2012, 18:58 A new study suggests that parents and carers could be putting children at risk if they upload digital photos that are automatically "geotagged" by their camera. Risk-based passenger screening could make air travel safer Jan 31st 2012, 18:57 Intensive screening of all airline passengers actually makes the system less secure by overtaxing security resources, while risk-based methods increase overall security, according to new research. The researchers developed three algorithms dealing with risk uncertainty in the passenger population. Then, they ran simulations to demonstrate how their algorithms could estimate risk in the overall passenger population and how errors in this estimation procedure can be mitigated to reduce the risk to the overall system. Zappos breach goes beyond credit cards: Consumers face identity theft if hackers correlate other penetrated databases Jan 18th 2012, 17:28 An expert comments on the Zappos web site breach by hackers. He said that information about a customer can be used to 'de-anonymize' other databases on other Web sites, further invading customer privacy. Consumers should be vigilant in wake of Zappos cyberattack Jan 18th 2012, 17:26 As an estimated 24 million Zappos.com customers begin receiving notifications that some of their personal data have been compromised, an expert is warning those affected to be on the lookout for targeted fraud attempts. New technology tightens cyber security Jan 6th 2012, 21:49 A revolutionary new technology helps with cyber security. Protecting computers at start-up: New guidelines Dec 21st 2011, 15:58 A new draft computer security publication provides guidance for vendors and security professionals as they work to protect personal computers as they start up.
