If these algorithms are our new decision-makers, then the most effective way to advertise will be to "hack" the algorithms.

Several groups of scientists are racing to develop cryptographic algorithms that can evade hacking by quantum computers before they are rolled out.

As Facebook shapes our access to information, Twitter dictates public opinion and Tinder influences our dating decisions, the algorithms we've developed to help us navigate choice are now actively ...

The findings, published in IEEE Transactions on Consumer Electronics, present a way to protect sensitive videos from rare but extremely powerful computers.

To help you understand the algorithm, the video shows a simple two-digit by two-digit multiplication. You can see that the first and last digits are essentially the result of one multiplication.

Purdue University’s Hany Abdel-Khalik has come up with a powerful response: to make the computer models that run these cyberphysical systems both self-aware and self-healing. Using the background ...

Would need to be a million times larger Quantum computers would need to become around one million times larger than they are today in order to break the SHA-256 algorithm that secures bitcoin.

Purdue researchers create ‘self-aware’ algorithm to ward off hacking attempts Equipping computer models with “covert cognizance” could protect electric grids, manufacturing facilities and nuclear ...

You might be tempted to try and hack the new algorithm by flat-out asking your audience for engagement with posts like, “COMMENT on this post if you LIKE puppies!!” …don’t be that brand.

It is just as well, then, that quantum mechanical techniques not only enable new, much faster algorithms, but also exceedingly effective cryptography.
