Nano-scale 'fingerprint' could boost security


An atomic-scale fingerprint could boost the security of connected devices, according to British scientists who have developed it.
The tiny identity tags are essentially tiny imperfections in the building blocks of matter, making them virtually impossible to clone
They could be used as the basis of a robust system for authenticating hardware and software,
The researchers from the UK universities of Lancaster and Manchester built tiny, layered metallic structures in the lab and incorporated "design flaws" that were unique to the item.
"What you do is shrink these systems down as far as they will go," Dr Jonathan Roberts from Lancaster told BBC News.
"And the interesting thing is that you can't clone them. To clone them, you'd effectively have to measure [the fingerprints] atom-by-atom. You just can't do it."

Augmented Reality Wizards Blippar Will Unveil New Tech At TechCrunch Disrupt London

What if you could learn about anything just by taking a photo of it?  Blippar already has 3 million people doing that every month plus another 62 million signed up.

Blippar CEO   Ambarish Mitra   is basically tech’s version of Slumdog Millionaire. After running away from home and living in the slums of Delhi, India, Mitra sold magazines door-to-door. But then he won $10,000 in an e-business plan competition and used the money to form an Internet portal for women that was free to those with low incomes. He eventually IPO’d that business, studied at the London School Of Economics, and sold his next business, Swiftcover, to AXA Insurance. Mitra started Blippar when augmented reality was just in its infancy. And while devices like the Microsoft HoloLens promise a future where we see digital graphics overlay information atop ou...

Lost your Windows 10 laptop Here's how to find it

One of the headline features of Android for some time now has been a utility that lets you easily find your lost phone. Whether it's truly lost or god forbid stolen, or simply stuck between the sofa cushions, finding it has never been so easy. By popular demand, Microsoft brought this utility to Windows phone with Windows 10 recently. The number of phones that run Windows 10 are however very few as of the moment, and the ones that are there are not available across the globe, but in select markets. Two of these recently launched phones, the Lumia 950 and Lumia 950XL are expected to launch in India soon. But more on that later. Windows 10 was designed primarily as a cross platform operating system so that it could work seamlessly across devices: phones, tablets, laptops and PCs. To that effect, Microsoft's first major Windows 10 upgrade (Windows 10 November update) brings in new features, that are both evident and 'out there' as well as also secretly tucked away in...
