IBM introduced new chip coding method
In an effort to improve data security for laptops, cell phones and other perishable devices, IBM has announced a new method that enables encryption of information at the heart of the system.

There are many ways to encrypt data to protect them from the eyes of others. Many specialized software can handle this role, and the chips inside the computer itself.
However, IBM researchers believe that unless the encryption function is executed by the computer's own processor (CPU), otherwise any super hacker can enter the slot. open between computer memory with independent encryption tool.
In order to demonstrate its assertion, this morning, IBM introduced "SecureBlue", an encoder circuit board that can be integrated into any processor, even if the chip is manufactured by a company. Along with that, IBM did not hesitate to call its new product "one of the most paranoid devices on the planet".
However, IBM is not the only company seeking to integrate data encryption functions into the computer's CPU. Intel's upcoming "LaGrande" technology is fundamentally based on this ambition, although it requires interaction with a standalone chip called the Trusted Platform Module. But according to IBM, their method can jump through this step.
Envisioneering Group analyst Richard Doherty believes that SecureBlue's design is portable and flexible enough to bring high-end encryption to devices like MP3 players or cell phones. Thus, this technology will not only serve those who want to keep sensitive information inside the handset, but also allow you to protect copyrighted content stored in your device and multimedia device. me too.
However, IBM's encryption tool is not simply a module, it can be easily played on all existing chip platforms. It needs to be "knit" into a microprocessor from scratch, mixed with other transistors in a "hamburger" style.
IBM's biggest challenge now is to convince analysts and users that SecureBlue is more secure and secure than all current software encryption methods for handheld devices.
Bruce Schneier, president of Counterpane Internet Security, said that fully integrated encryption with the CPU could enhance true security, but it would be "silly" to assume that hackers were only targeting the exchange of information. from computer CPU to encryption tool to attack.
