Indian develops tech to make software unhackable


A unique system has been designed by researchers that will encrypt software in order to make it impervious to reverse-engineering.

UCLA computer science professor Amit Sahaiand a team of researchers have developed a system which will only allow someone to use a programme as intended, while preventing any deciphering of the code behind it.

This is known as software obfuscation in computer science and it is the first time it has been accomplished.

Sahai said that the new system puts up an iron wall making it impossible for an adversary to reverse-engineer the software without solving mathematical problems that take hundreds of years to work out on today's computers.

The researchers said their mathematical obfuscation mechanism can be used to protectintellectual property by preventing the theft of new algorithms and by hiding the vulnerability a software patch is designed to repair when the patch is distributed.

The key to this successful obfuscation mechanism is a new type of multilinear jigsaw puzzle. This new technique has paved the way for another breakthrough called functional encryption.

Manor House - Telscombe Village

Image
  Manor House - Telscombe Village  England  ESTUDIO HISTÓRICO / HISTORICAL STUDY : - Telscombe Village: - Introducción / Introduction : Telscombe village is set unobtrusively in a valley within stunning downland. The small village remains surprisingly remote and isolated given its close proximity to the urban coastal development at Saltdean, Telscombe Cliffs and Peacehaven. The settlement is linear in form running north-south. The village is accessed by car from the C7 Lewes to Newhaven road along a long, narrow country lane, which then runs through the village and peters out into a public footpath, which runs towards Saltdean over the Downs. The buildings are tightly arranged around the road, which gives the village a compact feel. The houses themselves although tight to the road do not appear at all cramped. There is a mix of house types, sizes and uses of buildings within the village. There is the village hall, a farm, a youth hostel, a church and residential buildings...
