Corsair’s Flash Padlock, a padlock for your data

You simply don’t feel comfortable with the idea of having your data stored on a USB flash drive and carry around ? If you’re the kinda paranoid, who simply feels insecure of having data stored on a USB flash drive. The Corsair’s “Flash Padlock” flash drive is definitely one kind that gives you better sense of security. As it locks up your data using pad lock system, which is the system that you’ve been used to for handling the locking of your briefcase.

The “Flash Padlock” flash drive uses pin-based security system, which you can set the pins to limit who can access the data on it. This flash drive uses hardware-based security system, which is definitely much more secure than any software-based security that is pretty vulnerable to brute-force attacks by hackers. The Flash Padlock flash drive comes with two variants, they are the 1GB, retails for $29.99 and the 2GB for $39.99.

Quantum dots technology deciphers encrypted data in seconds only!

The researchers of University of Michigan have found a breakthrough way that can decipher encrypted data in seconds, which currently can only be done in dozens of years using modern high-end desktop computers. This new way of cryptography involves the use of light, which is some kind of extremely short pulses of light to be emitted and interact with something called “quantum dots“. The quantum dots here simply sound a little bit abstract to some people. But just take it as extremely small structures that are highly sensitive to small changes.

The final device if successfully constructed will be one kind that requires many thousands of quantum dots, which light beam is encoded within and sent to the quantum dots to get all possible answers computed in seconds. This super device would definitely be the ideal one for solving many complex computational problems other than just for cryptography.

Another advantage of the “quantum dots” technology needs only inexpensive diode lasers as its light source. So, it wouldn’t be too far from now for the possibility of these super speedy quantum computers to hit the industry. Such a speedy device is definitely the dream machine that hackers have been waiting for. So, what is the hint for our future computer industry? We should be glad that there is such a super speedy computer available for helping solve much more complex computational problems in matter of seconds only. But, it would be definitely much tougher for the industry to handle protection for sensitive information.

Spyware steals domain names

I think quite a number of you also had this bad experience. A domain name that you’ve been eyeing for quite some time, but was stolen a few days after you’d done a WHOIS lookup for its availability. This happened to us, a colleague of mine wanted to register a domain name for a customer. At first she did a check on any of the WHOIS such as the registerfly, cheap-domainnames.com yesterday. What she got was the domain name was available for registration. But she didn’t register the domain name immediately as we needed to get back to the customer to tell them the availability, so we could then get the confirmation and proceed for registration. Unfortunately, when we got the green light and tried to register today, we failed to register it as it’s claimed to have been taken. And I quickly did several WHOIS checks, but couple of them giving me the result only about the domain name has been registered but failed to provide its registrant. Lastly, I managed to get the result from NETWORKSOLUTIONS, which showed that it was just registered yesterday, which I think was a couple of hours after her checking.

Security ring: Tie a knot with your computer and keep it safe!

The security ring by Yanko Design works exactly like how you’re being “secured” by your spouse using the wedding ring. The concept of this security ring is how you can tie a knot with your computer, and keep it safe and sound. By having one ring on one of your fingers, when you move a certain distance away from the ring’s based station that is connected to your computer.  It will be triggered and start locking all the programs and nobody will be able to access your computer anymore. Although you could also do it using your Bluetooth cellphone, but the ring is much handier and it’s always on your finger.
