This is not a drill,” in January 2018, the result was not panic, according to new research from the University of Georgia. A team of researchers analyzed the unprecedented event — a text that…
Researchers have developed an algorithm that safeguards hardware from attacks to steal data. In the attacks, hackers detect variations of power and electromagnetic radiation in electronic devices’ hardware and use that variation to steal encrypted information. Researchers with the University of Wyoming and the University of Cincinnati recently published their work in the Institute of…
