#hardware encryption key

[technologywhis]

Oh yes — that’s the legendary CIA Triad in cybersecurity. It’s not about spies, but about the three core principles of keeping information secure. Let’s break it down with some flair:

⸻

1. Confidentiality

Goal: Keep data private — away from unauthorized eyes.

Think of it like locking away secrets in a vault. Only the right people should have the keys.

Examples:

• Encryption

• Access controls

• Two-factor authentication (2FA)

• Data classification

Threats to it:

• Data breaches

• Shoulder surfing

• Insider threats

⸻

2. Integrity

Goal: Ensure data is accurate and trustworthy.

No tampering, no unauthorized changes — the data you see is exactly how it was meant to be.

Examples:

• Checksums & hashes

• Digital signatures

• Version control

• Audit logs

Threats to it:

• Malware modifying files

• Man-in-the-middle attacks

• Corrupted files from system failures

⸻

3. Availability

Goal: Data and systems are accessible when needed.

No point in having perfect data if you can’t get to it, right?

Examples:

• Redundant systems

• Backup power & data

• Load balancing

• DDoS mitigation tools

Threats to it:

• Denial-of-service (DoS/DDoS) attacks

• Natural disasters

• Hardware failure

⸻

Why it matters?

Every cybersecurity policy, tool, and defense strategy is (or should be) built to support the CIA Triad. If any one of these pillars breaks, your system’s security is toast.

Want to see how the CIA Triad applies to real-world hacking cases or a breakdown of how you’d protect a small business network using the Triad? I got you — just say the word.

Left for Dead

Part One

Scott Tracy breathed a sigh of relief as he felt the wheels of the ‘conventional’ jet he was flying left the tarmac.

His never failed to feel lighter once he was no longer touching the earth, but this time the relief was more intense than usual.

As he guided the executive jet – once Jeff’s favourite plane, a sleek long-haul commercial jet that had been the Aviation arm of Tracy Industries flagship product, and dubbed ‘Tracy One’ – exactly through the ‘gateway’ at the end of the runway climb out, the radio crackled to live. The heavily accented English of the Departures Controller for Trondheim Lufthavn gave him his final instructions to clear the Lufthavn’s controlled airspace and join his filed flightpath out of Norway and back to Tracy Island.

He only let himself relax as he hit his cruising speed and altitude, and activated the pre-programmed autopilot.

Reaching back he caught the retractable tray table and dragged it towards him, before picking up his insulated mug, a custom-made gift from Brains that allowed him to ensure he had hot coffee available on a solo flight in the plane.

He couldn’t help glancing back at the safe built into the bulkhead at the back of the cockpit. He still had grave reservations about getting TI involved in the construction of the World Government’s new high-security computer system to be based in Norway; but the World Government had wanted Tracy Industries for their reputation for excellence and security, the TI Board wanted it, and most importantly John wanted it.

Scott tried not to think about the fact that his brother was likely to include a backdoor to the system.

But Scott had been convinced that it was in the best interests of all involved to take the project on, and he had gone to Norway to meet the key personnel and personally take receipt of the plans. TI facilities would produce the various key components and they would be shipped to Tracy Island for construction by one Hiram K. Hackenbacker

Scott sighed, even Brains had been excited by the prospect of getting to look at the designs, and the attendant programming that the hardware would be running. Something about the specifications for the “new ‘unbreakable’ encryption protocols”, and “the next major breakthrough in computing, practically quantum!”

Scott was worried that the two – three if Alan inserted himself into the mix – computer nerds would back-engineer the TOP SECRET computer and incorporate it into International Rescue’s equipment.

When – and Scott was not an optimist when it came to this sort of things, so it was when and not if – the rest of the world figured out that they had that technology, there would be some uncomfortable questions that Scott would be left to try to answer.

And he was resolutely NOT thinking about what Eos could do with all that processing power. Scott had reached a truce with the Space Monitor’s pet AI, but he hadn’t made peace with it … her. She had come dangerously close to killing John, ‘misunderstanding’ or not, ‘self-defence’ or not.

Harming his family was the one sin Scott Tracy could not forgive.

The next hour or so disappeared quietly as Scott brooded on his misgivings, carefully watched the plane’s gauges, and the sky.

Sometime after the onboard computer indicated that it had successfully completed its mandatory handshake with Chinese Air Control Scott stretched, arching his back and spreading his toes within the confines of his shoes. Flying alone was great for relaxation, flying alone long distances however … no matter how good the autopilot, a good pilot never left the controls unmanned.

Tracy One, while fast, was no Thunderbird One. I’m getting soft, Scott thought bemused. Too used to the multiple mach speed of his usual means of transportation.

Settling back into his seat, Scott once more scanned the gauges … only to see them all fade out as the engines whined their rollback to idle and shutdown.

Scott swore, unbelieving, hands once more on the controls, as he quickly hit two buttons, setting his transponder to squawk distress mode, and deploying the RAT, a small drop down wind turbine that dropped from the planes undercarriage and caught the airflow, generating enough power to get some gauges and controls working.

Fingers automatically worked at the controls, reconfigure for maximum glide, run through the midair engine restart procedure. And …

Nothing.

As Scott immediately recommenced the restart, he was on the radio: “Mayday, Mayday, Maday. This is November Tango India Zero One Charlie. Twin engine roll back, loss of power. Attempting restarts. Requesting assistance to squawk location.”

No response. Scott cycled through another engine restart attempt as he waited, nervously watching the altitude numbers seemingly freefall. There was no way he was descending that fast, surely?

Two more attempts at transmitting the mayday resulted in silence. The engines refused to restart.

Scott reached for his collar and swore. The meeting had been so high security even IR’s integrated collar coms were not allowed. And Scott had been in such a hurry to get back to the Island that he hadn’t changed his clothes, only ditching the ordinary – albeit obscenely expensive – coat, suit jacket, tie and cufflinks.

No direct link home. No mid-air rescue for Scott Tracy.

No matter. He could manage.

Abandoning his attempts to restart as the altitude numbers screamed down under the threshold.

His plane was going to kiss dirt. All he could do was make it as gentle as possible.

Scott switched his attention to scanning the ground below him, looking for a suitable space. Thank god he had elected to fly west towards home, meaning he was over the Gobi Desert.

Sand was preferable to water, no matter what Gordon said.

Sand would make for a nice soft runway, provided Scott managed a tail-first. Letting a leading edge dig in would be a disaster. Even with the International Rescue approved safety features retrofitted to the standard executive jet, there wouldn’t be much for his brothers to recover if she dug in and flipped, or windmilled around a wing.

“Mayday, Mayday, Mayday. November Tango India Zero One Charlie. Restart negative. Unpowered landing necessary. Requesting immediate assistance to squawk location.”

Scott breathed carefully, focusing on his search and not the possibilities.

There!

Off in the distance Scott spotted a level area, large enough for the plane to coast to a stop on her belly.

He breathed out, mentally calculated the distance and descent, and carefully reconfigured the plane, setting the ailerons and stomping on the rudder to bring her tail around into the head wind and shed speed: side-slipping. He gently slewed her back the other way, ensuring she maintained the correct heading, but shedding altitude and speed.

This was a dangerous aerial ballet. More so than any dogfight he had been in during his service. One wrong move …

Scott’s hands were sweating on the control yoke. His heartbeat deafened him.

Oh, there was going to be so many lost of control drills for his brothers in the future. It had been too long since they had run any.

His luck held all the way down.

He managed to line up to the long axis of the space, and his tail kissed sand at the edge of the smooth space.

Metal screamed as sand ripped at the undercarriage as Scott gently lowered the length of the plane onto the dirt, and deployed all flaps and slats, increasing the resistance to the air, even as the sand resisted the movement of the hull.

And Scott became a passenger.

He kept his feet at the rudder pedals, trying to keep the plane moving in a straight line. Yaw risked rolling. But it was largely a futile effort, the path was set, determined by physics, geology and … geography!

Scott’s heart leapt into his throat as the plane hurled itself over the top of a rising dune that had been hidden by his approach angle. It was a significant drop down the other side, and the plane had lost enough momentum that it had little aerodynamic power.

The nose fell, and Scott heard yelling.

It took the eternity the plane was falling to realise that it must be him.

Impact was hard.

Metal screamed as sections of the cockpit rushed towards him, dislodged and distorted.

Something above him broke loose, swinging down into his field of vision.

It was the last thing Scott saw.

Notes:

This is Part One of my last Febuwhump Prompt from MariaShades, Part Two will actually address the prompt, but work's been mental, and Scott's been a little shit and really didn't want to crash his plane ... Oh well, better late than never.

And if I post this half, I'll stop faffing around with it and actually write the second half. In theory.

imagine an endless feedback loop of funding created in attempt to push tech development as fast as possible to make new hardware that mines bitcoin more efficiently as it gets more difficult over time, on top of an effort by the same group to purposefully make it more difficult to mine in general which necessitates further development of better hardware, and the revenue through sales and the speculation on the product goes into bitcoin which makes the rest of the crypto market (the computing infrastructure developing the tech to mine the bitcoin) with the end goal being something powerful enough to crack the SHA256 encryption that makes up the private keys needed to access a bitcoin wallet in order to take everything when it’s worth the most after the population is onboarded by force through globalized banking after turning your money worthless through hyperinflation and reworking the world’s economy into a standardized UBI CBDC while *you* eat the bugs, live in the pod, and “be happy” while they induce + declare a climate crisis, lock everyone inside, shut off the power, set the planet on fire, and leave the rest of humanity to burn alive while they carry on to other worlds or die during their exit attempt, assuming *you* live to see it because *you* will likely be starved out or LOIC’d early on because *you* didn’t make enough money in time to get out before they started stripmining your neighborhood without warning, effectively ending your bloodline, all because *you* decided not to buy dogecoin.

Craig Gidney Quantum Leap: Reduced Qubits And More Reliable

A Google researcher reduces the quantum resources needed to hack RSA-2048.

Google Quantum AI researcher Craig Gidney discovered a way to factor 2048-bit RSA numbers, a key component of modern digital security, with far less quantum computer power. His latest research shows that fewer than one million noisy qubits could finish such a task in less than a week, compared to the former estimate of 20 million.

The Quantum Factoring Revolution by Craig Gidney

In 2019, Gidney and Martin Ekerå found that factoring a 2048-bit RSA integer would require a quantum computer with 20 million noisy qubits running for eight hours. The new method allows a runtime of less than a week and reduces qubit demand by 95%. This development is due to several major innovations:

To simplify modular arithmetic and reduce computing, approximate residue arithmetic uses Chevignard, Fouque, and Schrottenloher (2024) techniques.

Yoked Surface Codes: Gidney's 2023 research with Newman, Brooks, and Jones found that holding idle logical qubits maximises qubit utilisation.

Based on Craig Gidney, Shutty, and Jones (2024), this method minimises the resources needed for magic state distillation, a vital stage in quantum calculations.

These advancements improve Gidney's algorithm's efficiency without sacrificing accuracy, reducing Toffoli gate count by almost 100 times.

Cybersecurity Effects

Secure communications including private government conversations and internet banking use RSA-2048 encryption. The fact that quantum-resistant cryptography can be compromised with fewer quantum resources makes switching to such systems more essential.

There are no working quantum computers that can do this technique, but research predicts they may come soon. This possibility highlights the need for proactive cybersecurity infrastructure.

Expert Opinions

Quantum computing experts regard Craig Gidney's contribution as a turning point. We offer a method for factoring RSA-2048 with adjustable quantum resources to bridge theory and practice.

Experts advise not panicking immediately. Quantum technology is insufficient for such complex tasks, and engineering challenges remain. The report reminds cryptographers to speed up quantum-secure method development and adoption.

Improved Fault Tolerance

Craig Gidney's technique is innovative in its tolerance for faults and noise. This new approach can function with more realistic noise levels, unlike earlier models that required extremely low error rates, which quantum technology often cannot provide. This brings theoretical needs closer to what quantum processors could really achieve soon.

More Circuit Width and Depth

Gidney optimised quantum circuit width (qubits used simultaneously) and depth (quantum algorithm steps). The method balances hardware complexity and computing time, improving its scalability for future implementation.

Timeline for Security Transition

This discovery accelerates the inevitable transition to post-quantum cryptography (PQC) but does not threaten present encryption. Quantum computer-resistant PQC standards must be adopted by governments and organisations immediately.

Global Quantum Domination Competition

This development highlights the global quantum technological competition. The US, China, and EU, who invest heavily in quantum R&D, are under increased pressure to keep up with computing and cryptographic security.

In conclusion

Craig Gidney's invention challenges RSA-2048 encryption theory, advancing quantum computing. This study affects the cryptographic security landscape as the quantum era approaches and emphasises the need for quantum-resistant solutions immediately.

🚀 This Coin Could Make You a Millionaire – Here’s Why I'm Using UPB to Invest in It

Have you ever looked at a coin like Bitcoin or Ethereum and thought, "If only I had invested earlier..."? You’re not alone — I’ve been there too.

But here’s the thing: 2025 is full of opportunities that weren’t around 2 or 3 years ago. There are undervalued altcoins quietly gaining momentum — and if timed right, the returns can be life-changing.

Today, I want to share one such coin I’ve been watching closely, and why I’m using UPB (Universal Payment Bank) to invest in it securely and efficiently.

💡 My Crypto Journey: From FOMO to Focus

Like many of you, I got into crypto during the late 2020s hype. I rode the wave, made some gains — and also learned a few hard lessons about volatility and security. One thing that stuck with me was this:

Success in crypto isn’t just about “what” you buy — it’s also how and where you manage your assets.

That’s when I came across UPB – Universal Payment Bank, a modern crypto banking platform that gives me control, confidence, and convenience in one place.

But more on UPB in a bit. First, let’s talk about the coin that could turn the tables in 2025.

🌟 The Coin: Real Utility, Real Future

I’m not giving financial advice here — just sharing what I’m personally looking at. The coin is called XYZ Token (let’s call it that for now). It’s currently priced well under $1 and has:

Strong developer backing

Real-world utility in decentralized finance (DeFi)

Partnerships with fintech apps and NFT platforms

A growing user base in Asia and Europe

Why does that matter? Because projects that solve real problems and show consistent development are more likely to survive — and thrive — in the long term.

Based on current trends, if XYZ reaches even a fraction of the market cap of top 10 altcoins, early holders could see 10x to 50x returns.

🔐 Why I Use UPB to Invest in Crypto

Now here’s where UPB comes into play.

In 2023, I made the mistake of spreading my assets across multiple wallets and exchanges — it became a nightmare to track, and security was always a concern.

When I discovered UPB Online, everything changed.

Here’s why I’ve stuck with it since:

✅ Easy & Secure Login

UPB offers a seamless login experience with 2FA and session protection, so I know my funds are safe.

✅ Multi-Coin Support

Whether it’s BTC, ETH, or newer altcoins like XYZ, UPB supports a wide range of assets in one clean dashboard.

✅ Real-Time Tracking

I can monitor my portfolio value and individual coin performance without needing to switch apps.

✅ Peer-to-Peer Transfers

Transferring crypto to friends or my hardware wallet is fast, with low transaction fees and no hidden charges.

✅ Trust & Transparency

UPB is gaining a reputation for being one of the most trusted crypto banking solutions, with compliance, encryption, and responsive customer support.

If you’re serious about growing your crypto wealth, having a reliable financial platform like UPB is non-negotiable.

📈 How I’m Planning My Next Move

Here’s my current strategy (again — not advice, just personal experience):

Accumulation Phase – I’m gradually buying XYZ Token every week instead of a lump sum.

Using UPB for Storage – Once purchased, I move my assets to UPB to track and manage securely.

Goal-Based Holding – My target is to hold until the coin reaches a realistic price target — not hype-based.

Patience is key here. I’m not chasing pumps; I’m building long-term value.

🧠 Final Thoughts: It’s Not Too Late

A lot of people believe they’ve missed the boat with crypto — but I disagree. The market is maturing. Real utility is being built. Platforms like UPB are making crypto safer and simpler for the average user.

So ask yourself:

What if this is your second chance?

What if the next big thing isn’t Bitcoin, but a smaller altcoin flying under the radar?

Whether it’s XYZ Token or something else, the right tools make all the difference.

And for me, that tool is UPB.

I'm going to have to dig in to this but I have an inkling this AES mode (OpenPGP) may mean that hardware keys could be utilized for transport encryption. Worst case hardware keys could definitely be used for encrypting on node data (optionally, meaning the hardware key is optional, on node data will most likely be encrypted by default)

To refine encryption-related code, consider the following improvements:

Use Stronger Algorithms: Implement AES256 instead of AES128 for better encryption strength.

Add Error Handling: Ensure that the encryption process handles errors, such as failed encryption or permission issues.

Secure Storage of Keys: Use a secure method to store encryption keys (e.g., environment variables or hardware security modules).

Refined Script Example:

!/bin/bash

Encrypt sensitive data with AES256 and store encrypted backup securely

BACKUP_DIR="/backup" ENCRYPTED_BACKUP="/backup/encrypted_backup_$(date +%F).gpg" DATA_DIR="/important_data/"

Perform backup of important files

tar -czf $BACKUP_DIR/backup_$(date +%F).tar.gz $DATA_DIR

Encrypt the backup with AES256

gpg --batch --yes --symmetric --cipher-algo AES256 --output $ENCRYPTED_BACKUP $BACKUP_DIR/backup_$(date +%F).tar.gz

Remove the unencrypted backup file

rm -f $BACKUP_DIR/backup_$(date +%F).tar.gz echo "Backup and encryption completed securely."

This script enhances security by using AES256 and ensures encrypted files are properly handled.

To proceed with creating scripts for securing water companies' networks, we would outline some basic examples and operational strategies that could be implemented. Here’s a breakdown of each element:

Monitoring and Intrusion Detection

These scripts would monitor traffic and detect any suspicious activity on the network.

Example Script: Network Traffic Monitoring

!/bin/bash

Monitor network traffic and detect anomalies

LOGFILE="/var/log/network_traffic.log" ALERT_FILE="/var/log/alerts.log"

Use 'netstat' to monitor active network connections

netstat -an > $LOGFILE

Check for unusual activity, such as unexpected IP addresses

grep "192.168." $LOGFILE | grep -v "127.0.0.1" > $ALERT_FILE if [ -s $ALERT_FILE ]; then echo "Unusual activity detected!" | mail -s "Security Alert: Network Anomaly Detected" admin@watercompany.com fi

This script monitors network traffic using netstat, checks for connections from suspicious IP addresses, and sends an alert if any are found.

Intrusion Prevention (Automated Response)

This script would automatically take action to block malicious activity upon detection.

Example Script: IP Blocking on Intrusion Detection

!/bin/bash

Block suspicious IP addresses detected during intrusion attempts

SUSPICIOUS_IPS=$(grep "FAILED LOGIN" /var/log/auth.log | awk '{print $NF}' | sort | uniq)

for ip in $SUSPICIOUS_IPS; do iptables -A INPUT -s $ip -j DROP echo "$ip has been blocked due to multiple failed login attempts" >> /var/log/security_block.log done

This script automatically blocks IP addresses with failed login attempts, adding a layer of protection by preventing brute-force attacks.

Security Updates and Patch Management

Automated patch management ensures that all security vulnerabilities are addressed as soon as updates are available.

Example Script: Automatic Updates

!/bin/bash

Update system packages and apply security patches

echo "Updating system packages…" apt-get update -y apt-get upgrade -y apt-get dist-upgrade -y

Apply only security updates

apt-get install unattended-upgrades dpkg-reconfigure -plow unattended-upgrades

This script ensures that the system receives the latest security patches automatically, which is essential for keeping critical infrastructure secure.

Data Encryption and Backup

Regular backups and ensuring sensitive data is encrypted are vital.

Example Script: Data Encryption and Backup

!/bin/bash

Encrypt sensitive data and create backups

BACKUP_DIR="/backup" ENCRYPTED_BACKUP="/backup/encrypted_backup.gpg"

Perform backup of important files

tar -czf $BACKUP_DIR/backup_$(date +%F).tar.gz /important_data/

Encrypt the backup

gpg --symmetric --cipher-algo AES256 $BACKUP_DIR/backup_$(date +%F).tar.gz

Remove the unencrypted backup file after encryption

rm -f $BACKUP_DIR/backup_$(date +%F).tar.gz echo "Backup and encryption completed."

This script automates backups of sensitive data and encrypts it using gpg with AES256 encryption, ensuring that even if data is accessed illegally, it cannot be read without the encryption key.

Access Control

Strong access control is necessary to ensure that only authorized personnel can access critical systems.

Example Script: Access Control with Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)

!/bin/bash

Ensure all users have MFA enabled for critical systems

Check if MFA is enabled on SSH login

if ! grep -q "auth required pam_google_authenticator.so" /etc/pam.d/sshd; then echo "MFA is not enabled on SSH. Enabling MFA…" echo "auth required pam_google_authenticator.so" >> /etc/pam.d/sshd service sshd restart else echo "MFA is already enabled on SSH." fi

This script checks if multi-factor authentication (MFA) is enabled on SSH logins, and if not, it enables it, ensuring an additional layer of security.

Security Audits

Regular audits help identify vulnerabilities and ensure the system is secure.

Example Script: Automated Security Audit

!/bin/bash

Run a security audit to check for common vulnerabilities

Check for open ports

echo "Checking for open ports…" nmap -p 1-65535 localhost > /var/log/open_ports.log

Check for outdated software

echo "Checking for outdated software…" apt list --upgradable > /var/log/outdated_software.log

Check file permissions for sensitive files

echo "Checking file permissions…" find /etc /var /usr -type f -name "*.conf" -exec ls -l {} \; > /var/log/file_permissions.log

Send the audit report to the administrator

mail -s "Security Audit Report" admin@watercompany.com < /var/log/security_audit_report.log

This script performs a security audit, checking for open ports, outdated software, and sensitive file permission issues, then sends a report to the administrator.

Conclusion

These scripts are designed to help secure the water companies' networks by automating essential security functions like monitoring, response to threats, patching, encryption, and access control. It’s important that these scripts be customized to the specific needs of each company, taking into account their existing systems, infrastructure, and any unique security concerns they may face. Additionally, regular updates to these scripts will be necessary as new vulnerabilities and threats emerge.

For a basic firewall script that blocks unauthorized access and monitors network traffic, here's an example:

!/bin/bash

Define allowed IPs (replace with actual allowed IP addresses)

ALLOWED_IPS=("192.168.1.1" "192.168.1.2")

Block all incoming connections by default

iptables -P INPUT DROP iptables -P FORWARD DROP iptables -P OUTPUT ACCEPT

Allow traffic from specified IPs

for ip in "${ALLOWED_IPS[@]}"; do iptables -A INPUT -s $ip -j ACCEPT done

Log and monitor incoming traffic

iptables -A INPUT -j LOG --log-prefix "Firewall Log: " --log-level 4

This script sets a default block on incoming connections, allows traffic from specific IP addresses, and logs all traffic for monitoring.

Atom: The Beginning & AI Cybersecurity

Atom: The Beginning is a manga about two researchers creating advanced robotic AI systems, such as unit A106. Their breakthrough is the Bewusstein (Translation: awareness) system, which aims to give robots a "heart", or a kind of empathy. In volume 2, A106, or Atom, manages to "beat" the highly advanced robot Mars in a fight using a highly abstracted machine language over WiFi to persuade it to stop.

This may be fiction, but it has parallels with current AI development in the use of specific commands to over-run safety guides. This has been demonstrated in GPT models, such as ChatGPT, where users are able to subvert models to get them to output "banned" information by "pretending" to be another AI system, or other means.

There are parallels to Atom, in a sense with users effectively "persuading" the system to empathise. In reality, this is the consequence of training Large Language Models (LLM's) on relatively un-sorted input data. Until recent guardrail placed by OpenAI there were no commands to "stop" the AI from pretending to be an AI from being a human who COULD perform these actions.

As one research paper put it:

"Such attacks can result in erroneous outputs, model-generated hate speech, and the exposure of users’ sensitive information." Branch, et al. 2022

There are, however, more deliberately malicious actions which AI developers can take to introduce backdoors.

In Atom, Volume 4, Atom faces off against Ivan - a Russian military robot. Ivan, however, has been programmed with data collected from the fight between Mars and Atom.

What the human researchers in the manga didn't realise, was the code transmissions were a kind of highly abstracted machine level conversation. Regardless, the "anti-viral" commands were implemented into Ivan and, as a result, Ivan parrots the words Atom used back to it, causing Atom to deliberately hold back.

In AI cybersecurity terms, this is effectively an AI-on-AI prompt injection attack. Attempting to use the words of the AI against itself to perform malicious acts. Not only can this occur, but AI creators can plant "backdoor commands" into AI systems on creation, where a specific set of inputs can activate functionality hidden to regular users.

This is a key security issue for any company training AI systems, and has led many to reconsider outsourcing AI training of potential high-risk AI systems. Researchers, such as Shafi Goldwasser at UC Berkley are at the cutting edge of this research, doing work compared to the key encryption standards and algorithms research of the 1950s and 60s which have led to today's modern world of highly secure online transactions and messaging services.

From returning database entries, to controlling applied hardware, it is key that these dangers are fully understood on a deep mathematical, logical, basis or else we face the dangerous prospect of future AI systems which can be turned against users.

As AI further develops as a field, these kinds of attacks will need to be prevented, or mitigated against, to ensure the safety of systems that people interact with.
