In the new quantum information technologies, fragile quantum states have to be transferred between distant quantum bits. Researchers at ETH have now realised such a quantum transmission between two solid-state qubits at the push of a button.Data transmission is the backbone of the modern information society, on both the large and small scale. On the internet, data are exchanged between computers all over the world, most often using fibre optic ca...

As the IoT accelerates and internet connectivity is deployed into virtually every industrial segment, security threats are escalating in quantity and scale. These threats can ruin the reputation of those attacked, impact company financials and allow intellectual property to be stolen or destroyed. While cryptography can be used to secure these connected nodes and the basis of the practice is understood, designers often do not know how to approach...

“It’s a game changer for the automotive industry”. Avinath Ghirnikar, Director of Technical Marketing for Marvell’s Connectivity Business Group is not being shy in proclaiming the virtues of his company’s high-efficiency wireless 802.11ax solution for connected vehicles.

Enabled by smart devices equipped with cloud‑connected wearable sensors, AI‑powered data analytics, and smart devices, connected healthcare has the potential to increase patient autonomy, assist doctors in delivering better care, and reduce the pressure on the healthcare system. But for connected healthcare to live up to its potential, healthcare cybersecurity has first to be seen as a key public health concern requiring utmost attention. In ...

For consumers, the impact of the IoT may be summarised as greater convenience, for example, many people now use contactless payment, something that is enabled by short-range RF communications between a payment terminal and a bank card, mobile phone or smart watch equipped with the same technology.Recently, the introduction of Ultra-High Frequency (UHF) RFID technology has extended that potential. By Costica Dima, Technical Marketing Manager, RFI...

Secrets have a way of leaking out and invariably people are the cause. In the IoT, it isn’t the things that will be the main cause of cybercrime, but the people exploiting the weak security provided by those things. The list of examples illustrating this very real threat gets longer every day. Guest blog written byMark Patrick, Mouser Electronics.

Swissbit AG and Hagiwara Solutions Co., Ltd. have announced their cooperation for security ventures.

Earlier this year, cryptocurrencies valued at $530m were stolen in a hack on a Japanese cryptocurrency exchange. Reportedly, slack security practices made the exchange vulnerable because the money was stored in a poorly-secured digital wallet. If the exchange had been using a hardware security device, the hack probably wouldn't have succeeded. Guest blog written byMark Patrick, Mouser Electronics.
