MIT researchers developed a technique that effectively protects computer programs’ secret information from memory-timing side channel attacks, while enabling faster computation than other security schemes.

Multiple programs running on the same computer may not be able to directly access each other’s hidden information, but because they share the same memory

 E-Mail Contemporary robots can move quickly. "The motors are fast, and theyre powerful," says Sabrina Neuman. Yet in complex situations, like interactions with people, robots often dont move quickly. "The hang up is whats going on in the robots head," she adds. Perceiving stimuli and calculating a response takes a "boatload of computation," which limits reaction time, says Neuman, who recently graduated with a PhD from the MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL). ...
