Researchers have trained a neural network to encrypt its communications. In their experiment, computers were able to make their own form of encryption using machine learning, without being taught specific cryptographic algorithms. The encryption was very basic, especially compared to our current human-designed systems. Even so, it is still an interesting step for neural nets, … Read More “Teaching a Neural Network to Encrypt” »

Interesting research: “Don’t Skype & Type! Acoustic Eavesdropping in Voice-Over-IP“: Abstract: Acoustic emanations of computer keyboards represent a serious privacy issue. As demonstrated in prior work, spectral and temporal properties of keystroke sounds might reveal what a user is typing. However, previous attacks assumed relatively strong adversary models that are not very practical in many … Read More “Eavesdropping on Typing Over Voice-Over-IP” »
