Retrofitting physical tamper protection onto existing electronics

Research at the Secure Systems Research Center has developed a printed detection layer that can be applied to a circuit board after it has been designed. Both problems are the work that turns a proof of concept into a product but with this development so far, protection can now be introduced at any stage of a product’s life cycle.

WHAT HAPPENED

But buyers of security-sensitive electronics increasingly require proof that a product resists physical attack, evidence that an adversary in possession of the device, with a workbench, some tools, and time, cannot extract what is held inside it.

Beyond Encryption: The Expanding Frontier of Post-Quantum Cryptography

Public-key cryptography, developed in the mid-1970s, established the foundations on which the modern internet was built. It provides a brief overview of the standards baseline, articulates the class of capabilities that extend beyond it, and examines three recent research contributions from the center, in certificate infrastructure for post-quantum key exchange, anonymous authentication with.

Mistral Is Looking at UAE Data Centres. The Bigger Story Is Who Controls the Compute

Mistral AI says it may invest in UAE data centres. The more important question is whether Abu Dhabi can control the models, compute and cyber capability running on top of that infrastructure.

The UAE-US partnership and the rise of ‘algo-diplomacy’ | The National

These institutions are globally recognised, and the programme’s substance lies in the questions the experts will explore: how companies decide that an advanced model is ready for release; how privacy can be preserved at scale; what national AI capacity requires beyond servers. Chips and data centres can provide immense computing capacity, while national capability requires expertise, judgment and the confidence to make independent.
