Malicious actors can cause AI systems to act erratically without using visible ‘triggers’, researchers at the Germany-based CISPA Helmholtz Center for Information Security have found.

Researchers extracted the secret key that encrypts updates to an assortment of Intel CPUs, a feat that could have wide-ranging consequences for the way the chips are used and the way they’re secured.

Microsoft has developed a new machine learning-based algorithm that detects password spray attacks with considerably improved performance than its previous heuristic mechanism.

Neural networks trained to learn approaches to brute-force password guessing can be used to enforce minimal password security without resorting to large blocklists and cumbersome combinations.

The latest research opens the door to new methods of distributing secret cryptographic keys – used to encrypt and decrypt data, ensure secure communication, and protect private information.

Researchers at the UK's University of Oxford and Switzerland's Federal Office for Defence Procurement found that the critical aviation system can be manipulated to produce fake collision alerts.
