I think you're right. Once you factor in high efficiency solar panels (like the germanium ones in satellites) land based drones can infiltrate enemy territory and sleep for months or years until they're needed.

Line of sight lasers are one possibility, but those are vulnerable to dazzlers.

Wonder how many watts that thing is putting out, and at what frequencies. In theory it could kill a person if it pulsed the correct harmonics. Will be interesting to see drones with Faraday cages. Some teenager on YouTube did something simi

If you do X, then Y is secure unless there are other dimensions to the problem, e.g., an airgapped network in a Faraday cage is secure from data exfiltration via radio emissions, but not necessarily via optical or acoustic emissions. That

Anyone know of good resources for securing USB and disk firmware? I've found the CCC presentations rather enlightening, as well as Andrew Huang's amazing work, but still feel like we live in the dark ages with respect to hardware

The locked-down hardware architecture definitely enhances security, as far as protecting the embedded firmware and IP. As a consumer, I don't want a clipper chip in my pocket. It's a sad situation for hardware these days, becaus

I'm not sure how Stripe implemented it, but it would be possible to do by partnering with several ATM network providers. If you have a debit card, look at the back and see which networks it supports.

Just don't assign a primary key. Of course, keep the ID field in the table. You can also declare composite primary keys, but you probably only want to index fields that'll you'll be filtering, joining or grouping on.

You suggested ECC over RSA, implying that ECC offers greater security than RSA in the context of easy prime factorization. ECC's security relies on the hardness of the discrete logarithm. Yet, both prime factorization and the discret

Symmetric encryption is weakened; namely, a quantum computer can search through a space of size 2n in time 2n/2. This means that a 128-bit AES key would be demoted back to the strength of a 64-bit key ... [1] http://securi

I'm sorry. I realize this was overly dramatic and not substantive. I would have flagged it myself as being speculatively political; I was a bit frustrated and exhausted with some kernel debugging at the moment. I'm sorry.
