New computer chip allows information to be sent using a one-time unhackable communication

Researchers at the University of St Andrews, King Abdullah University of Sciences and Technology (KAUST) and the Center for Unconventional Processes of Sciences (CUP Sciences) have developed a new uncrackable security system which is set to revolutionize communications privacy.

 

The international team of scientists have created optical chips that allow for information to be sent from one user to another using a one-time unhackable communication that is able to achieve 'perfect secrecy' since confidential data can now be protected more securely than ever before.

 

 

The researchers' proposed system uses silicon chips that contain complex structures that are irreversibly changed in order to send information in a one-time key that can't be recreated or intercepted by an attacker.

 

Future-proof security

 

While current standard cryptographic techniques allow for information to be sent quickly, they can be broken by future computers and quantum algorithms. However, according to the research team, their new method for encrypting data is unbreakable and uses existing communication networks. It also takes up less space on these networks than traditional encrypted communications.

 

Associate professor of electrical engineering at KAUST and leader of the study, Dr. Andrea Fratalocchi explained why the team's new security system will be essential in the quantum era, saying:

“With the advent of more powerful and quantum computers, all current encryptions will be broken in very short time, exposing the privacy of our present and, more importantly, past communications. For instance, an attacker can store an encrypted message that is sent today and wait for the right technology to become available to decipher the communication.

 

Implementing massive and affordable resources of global security is a worldwide problem that this research has the potential to solve for everyone, and everywhere. If this scheme could be implemented globally, crypto-hackers will have to look for another job.”

 

The research team is currently working on developing commercial applications for their patented technology and they plan to have a fully functional demo soon.

"May Make":  Déjà vu!

 

Nothing "uncrackable" (except temporarily) so far.  Let's see the future when it arrives.  😉

 

Future is so predictable.  Present not at all.  😄

Sure they  are things that never been cracked

 

Unbreakable: Beale's buried treasure coded messages published in 1885

Unbreakable: Somerton Man’s poetic mystery found in 1948

 Unbreakable: The MIT time-lock puzzle PUZZLE  they say will take  35 years to solve

Unbreakable: Kryptos, a monument to CIA secrecy

Unbreakable: Elgar’s unread message

Unbreakable:The second world war’s last Enigma

Unbreakable: Who was the Zodiac killer?

 

There code from 100s of years ago that  never been cracked yet  and thats all the internet is nothing but code . It just depends on how good they can write code  if it can it be cracked or not .:tooth:

Encryption is always evolving faster  than Computer Technology is .

 

IBM  already  have such encryption .

Quote

IBM successfully demonstrated a quantum-proof encryption method it developed.

As long as it evolves faster than  Computer Technology  is  crypto-hackers will always be behind. Part of the problem with encryption is the www uses the bare minimum and VPNs have more powerful  but you not seen nothing yet once quantum-proof encryption  is available  to the general public . But talk is cheap when people say they can break encryption they still never even broke the second world war’s last Enigma.  They a difference  in cracking something than exploiting a weakness in some software you have on your device to get around it. If they could crack encryption they would not be begging for back doors . For now they only been able to find ways around it by using exploits.

What if there is nothing inside to decode? what if everything is just a joke?

Well that means it was a joke dont it?  and people were fools to believe it.  How many times have you seen people post cracks on this site and the post be popular but the crack dont even really work?  I seen it happen 100s of times people want to believe everything can be cracked and will argue with you it has been cracked but when you been testing software as long as me and some of my friends we know if it been cracked are not.  Some coders are so good they can  make a illusion of there software is cracked and people be posting duds because they never really use the software to find the missing checks.

How 'bout Linear A? That sucker is at least 3500 years old, and we still have no idea how to decode it.

The point if something can be cracked is moot anyway if  can be cracked  when encryption evolves faster  than computer technology .  Its like saying  something was cracked 2 years ago but the person updated  there protection and its not been cracked in 2 years  what happen 2 years ago dont matter . I have a drive full of old cracks that work for some outdated  version no one uses no more , Most of the time something as simple as online activation on the server side  can break any crack and this been a fact for as long as i been messing with  reverse engineering . VPN is always on the server side . If  it sends a new key  every time information is sent and the old key becomes invalid as soon it's sent there will be no way to crack it but thats not to say they may  figure out a way around it without cracking it but a simple patch would break the exploit.  That's why they pushing for voluntary backdoors if the company put a exploit in the software no need for encryption to be broken . If its closed source you would never know  .

This  article here  debunks that article that was a case of ARS posting fake news again because it never been  solved !

I guess Ars aren't experts then, as the headline for their last article made it sound like it was conclusively decoded.

 

ARS posted  fakes sometimes

http://arstechnica.com/science/2019/01/viral-fake-news-is-inevitable-in-the-face-of-information-overload/?comments=1&post=33576635

 

But I dont post many articles by them half the time there are articles  are mere click bait that dont even make sense to get people to talk in the comments , Most there news be days old  when they post it and one of there journalist  is in jail for doing bad stuff. They are ad supported so they get paid by clicks so they have lots of click bait.

 

As far as it being a hoax thats just a theory too

In my opinion, this was a dud argument in 2004, and – given all we have learned about the Voynich Manuscript in the decade and more since – it’s an even bigger dud in 2016. Specifically, I think there are Four Big Reasons why this is so:

You can read the 4 reason here why they think the hoax theory  is wrong.

The chip might be useful for encryption in order to prevent changes from 3rd party, but VPN is still needed for location privacy (different IP etc)!!

And anyway only theory so far, might also be impossible & useless because the quantum hype is actually analog (does not calculate exact).

 

So........ IMHO looks more as another religion. ;)

But of course I'm still open and we can see soon the near future what will really exist.

Quantum Bullshit Detector would agree  with you :lmao:

It's  a interesting feed it post articles by researchers against  overhyped claims and other troubling trends. But  you always will have disbelievers just like we have people who still believe the  earth is flat  and no one has never been on Moon . That don't even believe in things that been proven .
