 Software Helps Developers Get Started with PIV CardsThe National Institute of Standards and Technology has developed two demonstration software packages that show how Personal Identity Verification (PIV) cards can be used with Windows and Linux systems to perform ... |
 Qubits and Branes Share Surprising FeaturesWhat do black holes and entangled particles have in common? Until about a year ago, physicists thought that the two entities existed in completely separate worlds. Then, in 2007, physicist Michael Duff from ... |
An oblivious transfer protocol for quantum cryptography“It's hard to beat the noise that you have with quantum information,” Barbara Terhal tells PhysOrg.com. “So our security protocol relies on the fact that storing quantum bits noiselessly is hard to do with current technology.” |
New Quantum Strategy Keeps Web Searches PrivateWhen an Internet user types a word or phrase into a search engine, the Web server has the ability to find out that inquiry. As more people and businesses are becoming concerned about privacy, researchers are developing new ... |
NIST releases preview of much-anticipated online mathematics referenceThe National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has released a five-chapter preview of the much-anticipated online Digital Library of Mathematical Functions (DLMF). In development for over a decade, the DLMF is ... |
 Carbon Nanotubes as a Single-Photon SourceCarbon nanotubes, as true multi-purpose materials, have potential applications in everything from electrical circuits and drug delivery to golf clubs and space elevators. Recently, physicists have investigated ... |
Europe gets together to harness quantum physicsThe long cherished goal of applying the strange properties of quantum mechanics to the macroscopic world we inhabit has been brought closer by a series of recent developments. The exciting progress was made in the important ... |
 Two for One: New Design Enables More Cost-Effective Quantum Key DistributionResearchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology have demonstrated a simpler and potentially lower-cost method for distributing strings of digits, or “keys,” for use in quantum cryptography, ... |
 First measurement of entangled states in nitrogenWhen atoms form molecules, they share their outer electrons and this creates a negatively charged cloud. Here, electrons buzz around between the two positively charged nuclei, making it impossible to tell ... |
 Beating the codebreakers with quantum cryptographyQuantum cryptography may be essentially solved, but getting the funky physics to work on disciplined computer networks is a whole new headache. |
Researchers devise new method for protecting private dataCompanies and organizations that keep sensitive personal information on millions of Americans have become attractive targets for hackers in recent years, resulting in billions of dollars in losses for U.S. businesses and ... |
Researchers take step toward creating quantum computers using entangled photons in optical fibersFor now, full-fledged quantum computers are the stuff of science fiction — in last summer’s blockbuster movie Transformers, the bad guys use quantum computing to break into the U.S. Army's secure files in just 10 seconds ... |
Entanglement on demandOne of the problems in quantum information processing is inefficiency. Photon entanglement is generally considered a leading candidate for quantum computing (it is used for teleportation and cryptography), but right now it ... |
Microchip fingerprints used to lock out chip piratesPirated microchips -- chips stolen from legitimate factories or made from stolen blueprints -- account for billions of dollars in annual losses to chipmakers. |
Unique locks on microchips could reduce hardware piracyHardware piracy, or making knock-off microchips based on stolen blueprints, is a burgeoning problem in the electronics industry. |
