Poll Cloudflare has called on the world to “end this madness” by consigning Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart (CAPTCHAS) to the dustbin of history.
The internet-grooming firm’s beef with CAPTCHAS - specifically those that require users to identify images - is that they take 32 seconds to complete, are frustrating, work poorly on mobile devices, assume cultural knowledge of the objects on display, and that completion often requires certain physical and cognitive capabilities that not all users will possess.
Cloudflare research engineer Thibault Meunier assumed that the average internet user sees a CAPTCHA once ever ten days and multiplied that by world’s 4.6 billion internet users and Cloudflare’s 32-second CAPTCHA-completion estimate to assert that humanity collectively spends 500 years every day completing CAPTCHAs
Project looks to create platform for trusted electronics In order to use electronic devices securely and reliably, it is important to know where they were manufactured, how they operate and how they are constructed.
While there are a number of technical solutions for trusted electronics, there is still no consistent methodology for trustworthiness that adequately covers the entire value chain. One response, a new research project âVelektronikâ, which started in March 2021 and is led by the Fraunhofer IPMS, is working on trusted manufacturing processes of electronic devices.
âVelektronikâ, which is being funding by the Federal German government, aims to create a platform that provides secure value chains as an interface between research and industry. Over the next three years, the project partners from the Fraunhofer Society and the Leibniz Association, who together form the Research Fab Factory Microelectronics Germany (FMD), will work
Debunking Three Myths about Hardware Security MF3d/iStock

Because cyber criminals have proven over time that they are capable of circumventing the wealth of software-based security solutions intended to stop them, federal agencies need to consider taking an entirely different path: one which opts for hardware-enabled alternatives.
In doing so, they’ll embark upon what looks like the next revolution in cyber defense: Shipments for hardware supporting digital authentication and embedded security will reach 5.3 billion by 2024, doubling the number of shipments in 2019. Overall, the hardware security modules market will exceed $2 billion by 2027, up from about $828.3 million two years ago. True, traditionalist thinkers in government restrict these advancements to uses such as the safeguarding of classified networks via cross-domain solutions. They also contend that hardware is too expensive, impractical and difficult to deploy broadly as a security tool.
