"Ensuring the security of digital information"

The task of protecting large bytes of sensitive digital data that is created, stored, transferred, and exchanged, is quite massive for computer technicians and researchers. The possibility of breaching security is immense as well as the exploitation of weak links in the chain of data transport. Therefore, research groups at A*STAR are applying their technical expertise to improve the monitoring and identification of vulnerabilities within the management of data as well as the development of software and hardware to secure data. This article further discusses the researchers’ discovery of weaknesses within the Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) and cloud storage, along with the value of data and complications of quantum computing.
