Scientists develop new method to boost cybersecurity

NEW YORK: Computer scientists, including an Indian-origin student at the University of Texas at Austin, have developed a new method for producing truly random numbers — a breakthrough that can be used to encrypt data and improve cybersecurity .

The new method creates truly random numbers with less computational effort than other methods, which could facilitate significantly higher levels of security for everything from consumer credit card transactions to military communications.

This can also make electronic voting more secure, conduct statistically significant polls, and more accurately simulate complex systems such as the Earth’s climate.

“This is a problem I have come back to over and over again for more than 20 years. I’m thrilled to have solved it,” said computer science professor David Zuckerman For the full article click here
