Researchers at MIT have developed a cryptographic ID tag that is significantly smaller, cheaper, and more secure than traditional radio frequency identification (RFID) tags. The new tag is based on the use of terahertz waves which are smaller and have much higher frequencies than radio waves.
The innovation overcomes a major security flaw common with…
MIT researchers have created a secure and portable ID tag, utilizing terahertz waves, a technology considered superior compared to traditional RFIDs due to the improved security it offers. The team has bypassed the significant vulnerability of both RFID and terahertz tags, where a counterfeiter can remove the tag from an original item and transfer it…
Machine learning models are widely used today in smart devices like smartphones, with diverse applications like autocorrecting keyboards or improved chatbot responses. However, fine-tuning these models requires considerable computational resources and transfers of data to and from cloud servers – which can pose both energy and security issues. The team of researchers from MIT and…
