Dynamic Cryptography
DARPA is currently leading the race for the ‘holy grail of encryption’ In modern-day encryption, an algorithm is used to scramble or encrypt data (files/messages etc.) to make it completely indecipherable even if the data has been hijacked. It remains readable to only those users in possession of the key – upon the entering of […]
Shelf-Life Zero
The difference between yesterday’s data and today’s analytics? Everything. In a world where streaming and real-time data analytics are becoming increasingly important, most firms worldwide are recognising the ‘shelf-life’ of the data in their possession: the quicker they can turn raw data into insights, the more value they can extract from it. Ain’t no time […]
Rendezvous in the Sky
