With the advent of new technology from dashboard cameras to iPhones, it has become easier to capture a collision unfolding right before our eyes. Chances are, if an incident wasn?t caught on an iPhone, iPad, tablet, dash cam, GoPro or camera, the local traffic, retail store or bank surveillance has caught something on their camera footage. Needless to say, privacy in our digital age is a rare phenomenon. That being said, we no longer have to deal with uncertain, unreliable and unclear statements. We can now simply just watch real time video footage.

How A 100-Year-Old Unbreakable Cipher Will Transform Digital Security

Posted by Jay Bartlett February 11, 2018 6:25 pm Categories: Cyber Security, Technologies. Tags: cryptography, Qwyit, secure communications, security, Unbreakable Cipher.

What would you think if there were a cure for cancer, but the medical profession didn?t provide it? How about a plant that solves world starvation, but farmers couldn?t be bothered to grow it? Or if there were an Unbreakable cipher for perfect digital security, but the cryptography field doesn?t use it? Not only is that Unbreakable cipher real – it?s been around for over a hundred years! It was invented by Gilbert Vernam, a Bell Labs Engineer (not a cryptographer, mind you) in 1917 and is the only Unbreakable cryptographic cipher. All it took for anyone to send an Unbreakable message was to pre-share a one-time-only encryption key, which is known as a One-Time Pad or OTP. So if this perfect Unbreakable cipher exists, why doesn?t cryptography use it?
