The NATO Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) has completed its test run of secure communication flows that could withstand attackers using quantum computing.
Konrad Wrona, principal scientist at the NCSC, told ZDNet that it is becoming increasingly important to create protection schemes against current and future threats.
"Securing NATO's communications for the quantum era is paramount to our ability to operate effectively without fear of interception," Wrona said.
"The trial started in March 2021. The trial was completed in early 2022. Quantum computing is becoming more and more affordable, scalable and practical. The threat of 'harvest now, decrypt later' is one all organizations, including NATO, are preparing to respond to.

Imagine a future in which robots, smaller than the tip of a hair, are deployed inside the human body to perform micro-surgeries. As far fetched as it may seemed, it's not entirely implausible anymore.
Itai Cohen, Professor of Physics at Cornell University, says the crucial breakthrough was the invention of 'legs' that allow the microscopic robots to move, guided by electrical signals sent by humans. Now, it's just a matter of time before the technology is perfected.

L'entreprise de sécurité dans le cloud RiskIQ vient d'être rachetée par Microsoft pour 500 millions de dollars. L'acquisition est de taille : l'année dernière, la direction de RiskIQ indiquait que ses programmes de cybersécurité étaient utilisés par 30 % des 500 premières entreprises du classement Fortune et par plus de 6 000 organisations dans le monde, dont le service postal américain, BMW, Facebook et American Express.
Dans un billet de blog, le vice-président de Microsoft chargé de la sécurité dans le cloud, Eric Doerr, a fait savoir que le géant américain est en train d'acquérir la société afin d'aider ses clients « à avoir une vue plus complète des menaces mondiales qui pèsent sur leurs activités, à mieux comprendre les actifs vulnérables tournés vers l'internet et à créer des renseignements de classe mondiale sur les menaces ». Ce n'est pas la première acquisition de Microsoft cette année : au cours des derniers, elle a déjà racheté les entreprises IoT CyberX et ReFirm Labs pour renforcer ses offres de cybersécurité.

By cooling atoms down to near absolute zero and then controlling them with lasers, a company has successfully created a 100-qubit quantum processor that compares to the systems developed by leading quantum players to date.
ColdQuanta, a US-based company that specializes in the manipulation of cold atoms, unveiled the new quantum processor unit, which will form the basis of the company's 100-qubit gate-based quantum computer, code-named Hilbert, launching later this year after final tuning and optimization work.
There are various different approaches to quantum computing, and among those that have risen to prominence in the last few years feature superconducting systems, trapped ions, photonic quantum computers and even silicon spin qubits.

Google arbeitet an einem 3D-Hologramm-Telefon
Google I/O 2021
Mit hochauflösenden Kameras, 3D-Modellen und einem neuen Display will Google Video-Telefonie so realistisch wie nur irgend möglich machen.
Auf seiner Hausmesse Google I/O hat der Internetkonzern mit dem sogenannten Project Starline eine experimentelle Technik vorgestellt, die ein völlig neuartiges 3D-Erlebnis beim Videotelefonieren ermöglichen soll. Im besten Fall haben die Teilnehmer des Gesprächs dabei das Gefühl, sich im selben Raum zu befinden und sich gegenüber zu sitzen, obwohl dies offensichtlich nicht der Fall ist.

OVER THE PAST several years, Google has been working hard to craft software experiences that make you feel like you’re present with another human being, even if they’re several time zones away. On one end of the spectrum is boring Google Meet, the company’s Zoom competitor. On the other, more daring end is the now discontinued virtual-reality platform Daydream, complete with goggles and hand controllers.
But nothing within that gamut was cutting it for Clay Bavor, the high-energy Googler who heads up the company’s augmented- and virtual-reality efforts. He wanted full-on photo-realistic, volumetric video meetings that make it look, sound, and feel like the other person is sitting across the table from you—no headset required.

Meta (the company formerly known as Facebook) is not the only one trying to carve out a position for itself as a metaverse-savvy company. Microsoft is in this space, too -- coming at it from a more enterprise-centric perspective. At the Microsoft Ignite IT pro conference this week, officials are beating the metaverse drum by announcing more details around Microsoft's plans to bring Mesh to its Teams collaboration platform.
At its Build developers conference in May, Microsoft introduced its Mesh mixed-reality collaboration platform powered by Azure. At that time, officials said Microsoft would be bringing Mesh to Teams. Today, Microsoft officials said Mesh for Teams will begin rolling out in preview in 2022 with a set of pre-built immersive spaces for things like meetings and social mixers. Over time, Microsoft will add tools to allow customers to build their own custom spaces.
Microsoft is describing Mesh for Teams as a feature of Teams that will "combine the mixed-reality capabilities of Microsoft Mesh, which allows people in different physical locations to join collaborative and shared holographic experiences, with the productivity tools of Teams, where people can join virtual meetings, send chats, collaborate on shared documents, and more."

Eine digitale Zentralbankwährung (CBDC) könnte in Form des digitalen Euro bereits in wenigen Jahren verfügbar sein, doch noch fehlt ein wirklicher Nutzen, den bestehende Kryptowährungen nicht bieten können.
Central Bank Digital Currencies, kurz CBDC, beschreiben digitale Zentralbankwährungen, eines der aktuell am meisten diskutierten Themen der Kryptobranche und der Geldpolitik. Doch anders als bei Bitcoin, Ethereum, Ripple und Co. handelt es sich dabei nicht um unabhängige digitale Währungen, die noch dazu weitgehend anonym gehandelt werden können, sondern um digitales Geld, das unter Aufsicht der jeweiligen Zentralbank eines Landes ausgegeben wird und wohl zumindest über Umwege nachvollziehbar in seinen Geldflüssen bleibt.

Wenn alles miteinander vernetzt ist, kann auch alles gehackt werden“ – mit deutlichen Worten beschrieb Ursula von der Leyen die Herausforderungen und den Stand der IT-Sicherheit im Internet der Dinge. Im Angesicht der steigenden Cyberangriffe im Jahr 2021, ruft die Kommissionspräsidentin die Mitgliedstaaten zum gemeinsamen Handeln auf: von der Leyen kündigt den Entwurf eines neuen Gesetzes an, mit dem Ziel die Security-Lage zu verbessern und eine einheitliche Europäische Cybersicherheitspolitik zu formulieren.
Der für den Binnenmarkt zuständige EU-Kommissar Thierry Breton kommentierte die Ankündigung der Kommission und skizziert die Ziele des neuen Gesetzes. Laut Breton zielt das neue Gesetz auf vier Handlungsfelder: der Prävention durch verbesserte Schutzmechanismen und einheitlichen Cybersicherheitsstandards, Maßnahmen zur Früherkennung von Angriffen und Schwachstellen, eine einheitliche europäische Verteidigungspolitik gegen Cyberangriffe und eine Doktrin der Abschreckung.

Now a team of Google researchers has published a proposal for a radical redesign that throws out the ranking approach and replaces it with a single large AI language model—a future version of BERT or GPT-3. The idea is that instead of searching for information in a vast list of web pages, users would ask questions and have a language model trained on those pages answer them directly. The approach could change not only how search engines work, but how we interact with them.

A startup in the UK is now offering cloud-based access to its own superconducting quantum computer – but with a twist that it hopes could one day help it compete against the processors developed by quantum giants such as IBM and Google.
Oxford Quantum Circuits (OQC), a startup that spun out of the University of Oxford, is approaching superconducting quantum computing slightly differently. Leading superconducting quantum systems are typically built in a two-dimensional plane, with each qubit acting like a unit cell that requires intricate wiring for controls and measurements. Increasing the number of qubits means increasing the amount of wiring – and on a 2D plane, this comes with a higher risk of creating environmental noise that can damage the quality of the system.
Instead, OQC's researchers use a three-dimensional architecture that moves the control and measurement wiring out of plane. With key componentry off-chip, says OQC, the superconducting quantum processor is a more flexible and engineerable system.
