Random Numbers from Quantum Noise
July 15th, 2010 admin
Not that we need more ways to get random numbers, but the research is interesting….

Screening for explosives at several US airports is about to change. Airport screener’s will navigate carts with specialized bomb-detection machines around airport gates and checkpoint lines to randomly check passengers hands and carry-on bags for explosive residue using chemical swabs. The program, already tested at five airports after the attempted...
Location-based encryption — a system by which only a recipient in a specific location can decrypt the message — fails because location can be spoofed. Now a group of researchers has solved the problem in a quantum cryptography setting: The research group has recently shown that if one sends quantum bits — the quantum equivalent of...

We regularily learn of cases where criminals have gained access credit card numbers via keyloggers , skimmers or online hacks .

This is an interesting piece of research evaluating different user interface designs by which applications disclose to users what sort of authority they need to install themselves. Given all the recent concerns about third-party access to user data on social networking sites (particularly Facebook), this is particularly timely research. We have provided...
Impressive: This presentation will show the first experimental implementation of an eavesdropper for quantum cryptosystem. Although quantum cryptography has been proven unconditionally secure, by exploiting physical imperfections (detector vulnerability) we have successfully built an intercept-resend attack and demonstrated eavesdropping under realistic...
Clever: Quantum cryptography is often touted as being perfectly secure. It is based on the principle that you cannot make measurements of a quantum system without disturbing it. So, in theory, it is impossible for an eavesdropper to intercept a quantum encryption key without disrupting it in a noticeable way, triggering alarm bells. Vadim Makarov...
Interesting: In the throes of intense fear, we suddenly find ourselves operating in a different and unexpected way. The psychological tools that we normally use to navigate the worldreasoning and planning before we actget progressively shut down. In the grip of the brain’s subconscious fear centers, we behave in ways that to our rational mind...
Interesting research. Main results: We analyzed the results from over a quarter of a million people who ran our tests in the last few months, and found that we can detect browsing histories for over 76% of them. All major browsers allow their users’ history to be detected, but it seems that users of the more modern browsers such…

Interesting research: Analysing our data for security, though, shows that essentially all human-generated names provide poor resistance to guessing. For an attacker looking to make three guesses per personal knowledge question (for example, because this triggers an account lock-down), none of the name distributions we looked at gave more than 8 bits...
