"New Security Protocol Shields Data From Attackers During Cloud-Based Computation"

A new security protocol developed by researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) uses the quantum properties of light to ensure that data sent to and from a cloud server remains secure during deep-learning computations. Their protocol exploits quantum mechanics principles by encoding data into the laser light used in fiber optic communications systems, thus making it impossible for attackers to copy or intercept the information without being detected. The method provides security without compromising deep-learning model accuracy. The researchers successfully demonstrated that their protocol could maintain 96 percent accuracy while guaranteeing strong security measures. This article continues to discuss the MIT researchers' technique that leverages quantum properties of light to guarantee security while preserving the accuracy of a deep-learning model.
