"New Security System to Revolutionize Communications Privacy"

Researchers at the University of St Andrews, King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) and the Center for Unconventional Processes of Sciences (CUP Sciences) have developed a new security system said to be uncrackable by hackers. The system proposed by the team of scientists aims to bolster the privacy of communications through the use of inexpensive, electronic compatible optical chips. The silicon chips used in the system allows information to be sent in a one-time key that cannot be recovered or intercepted by attackers. According to researchers, the system addresses the threat posed by quantum computers, which are expected to crack current communication methods in the future. The keys generated by the optical chips to unlock messages are never stored or communicated with the message. Additionally, the keys cannot be recreated by the users, which adds another layer of security. This article continues to discuss the new uncrackable security system that strengthens communications privacy and how the method used in this system is an improvement over current standard cryptographic techniques.
