FORT MEADE, Md. — The National Security Agency (NSA) is pleased to announce the Grand Opening of the National Cryptologic Museum. As NSA’s principal gateway to the public, the newly renovated museum will provide a unique opportunity to engage with cryptologic history in fresh and innovative ways – transporting visitors on a journey from the…
Even though technical solutions for security problems are widespread, there are no adequate security measures against precarious user behavior. Even if hashing and encrypting are used correctly in masking the passwords, attackers can bypass these strong points by going for the weakest link. Most likely, this will happen through sharing a password, using an already leaked password, or creating a feasibly guessable password (Olmstead and…

LAS VEGAS, Nev. – The Department of the Air Force took a bold step toward future command and control capabilities with the successful completion of its first Decision Advantage Sprint for Human-Machine Teaming, or DASH, experiment, recently held at the Howard Hughes Operations Center, or H2O, in Las Vegas, NV. “The DASH experiment showed how…
Randomness is incredibly useful. People often draw straws, throw dice, or flip coins to make fair choices. Random numbers can enable auditors to make completely unbiased selections. Randomness is also key in security; if a password or code is an unguessable string of numbers, it’s harder to crack. Many of our cryptographic systems today use…
FORT MEADE, Md. — U.S. Cyber Command launched its annual training exercise Cyber Guard 25-2 on June 2, bringing together elite cyber professionals from across the U.S. Department of Defense to project lethality in cyberspace. Cyber Guard 25-2 focuses on offensive and defensive cyber operations, bringing together military units, government agencies, and allied partners to…
In a talk at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) on May 30, Stanford University professor and AI visionary Fei-Fei Li traced a sweeping arc in visual intelligence and AI — a narrative she hopes ultimately leads to a more human-centered future. Part of the Director’s Distinguished Lecturer Series, the Stanford computer scientist went beyond technical…
Breakthroughs in quantum technologies for computing, sensing, and communications can take decades to transition from laboratory to real-world use. This is, in part, due to the need for extensive laboratory setups to maintain the highly delicate quantum states of atoms, which very quickly lose coherence (i.e., their “quantumness”) when disturbed by the slightest interference of…
The 13th annual ISC2 Security Congress will be hosted live at the Gaylord Opryland Nashville, along with a hybrid virtual option. The keynote session will feature Phil Venables, the Strategic Security Advisor at Google. There…
