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 […]

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 […]
