IBM Develops New Encryption Technology
With more cyber hacking occurring, and people's sensitive data being phished or broadcasted, IBM has developed encryption technology to make hackers' lives a little bit harder.
In the wake of stories of hijacked sidekicks and identity theft, developers and researchers at the technology powerhouse have developed encryption technology that can be built directly into a microprocessor to help lock down data in mobile phones, PDAs, digital media players and other devices. Researchers call the technology Secure Blue and can be used in consumer electronics, medical and government applications, and digital media. IBM is incorporating the technology into its power processor. A spokesman for the company says the technology will also work in other vendors' processors.
