  Government Lab Reveals It Has Operated Quantum Internet for Over Two Years One of the dreams for security experts is the creation of a quantum internet that allows perfectly secure communication based on the powerful laws of quantum mechanics. The basic idea here is that the act of measuring a quantum object, such as a photon, always changes it. So any attempt to eavesdrop on a quantum message cannot fail to leave telltale signs of snooping that the receiver can detect. That allows anybody to send a  "one-time pad"  over a quantum network which can then be used for secure communication using conventional classical communication. That sets things up nicely for perfectly secure messaging known as quantum cryptography and this is actually a fairly straightforward technique for any half decent quantum optics lab. Indeed, a company called  ID Quantique   sells an off-the-shelf system that has begun to attract banks and other organisations interested in perfect security.

    Monitor more of the Internet President Barack Obama’s plan to protect the United States’ critical infrastructure against cyberattacks is accelerating quickly as more private sector businesses are signing on to share information with the federal government. When Pres. Obama rolled out his ‘Improving Critical Infrastructure Cybersecurity’ executive order last month, he asked that classified cyber threat and technical information collected by the government be given to eligible commercial service providers that offer security services to businesses linked to the country’s critical infrastructure. But in the few short weeks since the order was announced during the president’s annual State of the Union address, warnings of an imminent attack have only increased. CIA Director John Brennan told a panel last week that "the seriousness and the diversity of the threats that this country faces in the cyber domain are increasing on a daily basis," and US national intelligenc

Pentagon developing humanoid Terminator robots that will soon carry weapons The Pentagon wants to develop and deploy a robotic army of autonomous soldiers that will kill without hesitation. It's only a matter of time before these robots are armed with rifles, grenade launchers and more. Their target acquisition systems can be a hybrid combination of both thermal and night vision technologies, allowing them to see humans at night and even detect heat signatures through building walls. This is the army humanity is eventually going to face. You'd all better start getting familiar with the anatomy of humanoid robots so that you know where to shoot them for maximum incapacitation effect. You'd also better start learning how to sew thermal blankets into clothing, hoodies and scarves in order to fool thermal imaging systems. At first, these robots will be deployed as soldier assistants, carrying gear, retrieving wounded soldiers from hot zones, and so on. But over tim
