Online hate speech could be contained like a computer virus, say Cambridge researchers

The spread of hate speech via social media could be tackled using the same “quarantine” approach deployed to combat malicious software, according to University of Cambridge researchers. Definitions of hate speech vary depending on nation, law and platform, and just…

Wayne State to enhance cybersecurity of chemical process control systems

DETROIT – Smart manufacturing processes are becoming more automated with the help of algorithms that aim to boost profits, reduce resource use and decrease human error. In industries using chemical reactions, separation and transport, these smart manufacturing processes are expected…

Data Science Institute researcher designs headphones that warn pedestrians of dangers

You see them all over city streets: pedestrians wearing headphones or earbuds – their faces glued to their phones as they stroll along oblivious to their surroundings. Known as “twalking,” the behavior is not without its dangers. Headphone-wearing pedestrians often…

£3m Cyber-SHIP Lab offers opportunity to address maritime cyber security challenges

A unique new research facility designed to address the key cyber security challenges facing the shipping industry is being established at the University of Plymouth. The £3million Cyber-SHIP Lab, supported by funding from Research England, part of UK Research and…

In classical and quantum secure communication practical randomness is incomplete

Random bit sequences are key ingredients of various tasks in modern life and especially in secure communication. In a new study researchers have determined that generating true random bit sequences, classical or quantum, is an impossible mission. Based on these…
