Will trend for low cost chip development bring back the investors?

Reblogged from VentureBeat:

How much does it cost to fund the development of a chip? A few years ago the answer to this question would have been many tens, and probably hundreds of millions of dollars. But things are changing.

In recent years the chip industry has gone through one of the biggest booms and busts in its history. And VCs appear to have stopped backing chip startups.

IBM takes a big new step in cryptography: practical homomorphic encryption

Reblogged from Naked Security:

• 

IBM just released an open source software package called HELib.

The HE stands for homomorphic encryption.

Although it doesn't sound terribly sexy or impressive, HELib is actually an interesting and important milestone in cryptography.

HE is also a surprisingly relevant topic right now, with our ever-increasing attraction to cloud computing.

Bear with me, and I'll try to explain.

This white hat hacker cracks quantum encryption for fun and profit

Reblogged from VentureBeat:

• 

In quantum communication, messages are sent from Alice to Bob. But if you're hacked, Eve gets the information instead.

I spent the morning at the Waterloo, Ontario Institute for Quantum Computing, one of the world's top quantum computing and nanotechnology labs. In a brand-new 235,000 square foot, $160 million dollar facility that, inside, looks like the starship Enterprise, I met Alice and Bob.

‘Dead For Now’: CISPA Halted In The Senate, Thank God

Privacy advocates can breathe a sigh of relief as the controversial US Cyber Information Sharing and Protection Act (CISPA) appears to be all but dead in the water, with all signs pointing to it being shelved by the Senate.

The bill, which was purportedly designed to allow the federal government to share private user information with corporations in situations of a suspected cyber threat, was the source of widespread ire from privacy advocates.

Senator Jay Rockefeller (D-WV), chairman of the US Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation, confirmed that CISPA’s passage seemed unlikely due to the bill’s lack of privacy protections, which the Senator deemed “insufficient.”

According to US News & World Report, a representative of the Senate committee stated that, though CISPA seems to be dead for the time being, issues and key provisions from that bill may still re-emerge.

“We’re not taking [CISPA] up. Staff and senators are divvying up the issues and the key provisions everyone agrees would need to be handled if we’re going to strengthen cybersecurity. They’ll be drafting separate bills,” said the representative.

President Obama had threatened to veto CISPA in its current form due to its lack of personal privacy provisions. A representative with the ACLU, which along with the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) was one of the bill’s most vocal critics, also believed that the legislation now faces an uncertain future.

“I think it’s dead for now,” says Michelle Richardson, legislative council with the ACLU. “CISPA is too controversial, it’s too expansive, it’s just not the same sort of program contemplated by the Senate last year. We’re pleased to hear the Senate will probably pick up where it left off last year,” she told US News.

According to the EFF, CISPA represents a “dangerous” level of access to private information, and would allow the National Security Agency to obtain online communications data without a warrant. 

According to Richardson, it should be three months before any cybersecurity legislation sees a vote in the Senate.

House Passage Of Online Spy Bill A Betrayal Of Conservatives

Reblogged from Personal Liberty Digest™:

The Republican-controlled House betrayed Constitutional privacy protections by passing the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act (CISPA) with overwhelming support last week.

In a 288-127 vote, the House rammed through the cyberspying bill that would allow email and Internet providers to share confidential information with the Federal government. While there were a handful of libertarian-leaning GOP holdouts, most Party-line Republicans justified a “yea” vote in the name of national security.
