Future quantum computers might not be all that different from the one you’re using now. An international team of researchers have created a the most fundamental part of a quantum computer—the quantum bit, or qubit—using only a CMOS transistor that is not much different from those in today’s microprocessors. http://spectrum.ieee.org/nanoclast/computing/hardware/qubits-quantum-computing-with-run-off-the-mill-cmos-transistors Posted from WordPress for Android →
After a two-year campaign from the FBI, U.S. intelligence officials, and powerful politicians calling for backdoor access into Americans’ encrypted data, a new Harvard study argues that encryption is a worldwide technology that the United States cannot regulate and control on its own.

I saw this morning a notice from my local information security authority titled “GNU C -kirjastosta (glibc) löydetty vakava haavoittuvuus“. It tells that February also this year brought another nasty security issue on glibc library (last year’s vulnerability was GHOST). It is a Critical glibc (GNU C library) security issue that needs a bug fix →
