Read MoreA new chip to fight off hacker attacks using quantum computers
A team at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) has designed and assigned the production of a computer chip that could protect from cyber-attacks using quantum computers. The researchers integrated hardware Trojans in the chip for detecting types of malware from the chip factory. To prohibit attackers from stealing information from the factory, the communication between the chips in the individual components is encrypted. The conventional processes that can fight off attacks initiated with today’s computer technologies will be defenseless against quantum computers.
