Hackers often break into smart cards and other secure technologies, undermining current cryptographic technology. One enterprising EU-funded project is helping to overcome this challenge.
Cryptography, which involves techniques for secure communication without the intrusion of third parties, is pivotal for protecting all kinds of data. From ensuring the confidentiality and integrity of online payments to validating electronic passports, the technology relies on security proofs for developing algorithms that minimise attacks or hacks from external parties.
