Blockchain’s impact goes well beyond the world of cryptocurrency. The technology itself is becoming the foundation for a new style of trust in identity, transactions, business process and human activity. Blockchain’s use of shared ledgers makes it nearly impossible to hide or forge a transaction. Call it security in plain sight, which makes good behavior

The encryption technology that allows secure communication over the internet is several-decades old. It still works, but other approaches have emerged that improve upon the status quo. Attribute-based encryption (ABE), for instance, moves beyond the “all-or-nothing” model of the prevailing paradigm, promising greater control, efficiency and utility.

A lack of security in the industrial IoT (IIoT) can be costly. From interrupted factory lines to major disruptions in supply chains, the damage from a cybersecurity incident can be significant. Standard public key encryption (PKE) can reduce those risks. But an emerging, advanced form of PKE called attribute-based encryption (ABE) allows greater functionality, enabling

In his latest contribution to Forbes, NTT Research President and CEO, Kazuhiro Gomi, discusses bio digital twins, one of the MEI Lab’s two main areas of focus. While the idea appears futuristic, Gomi notes that the related concept of digital twins is already well developed, and its component technologies are widely deployed. The technologies that

A specialist in applied machine learning (ML) and control engineering, Yasuyuki Kataoka has, to-date, focused on time-series, heterogenous and real-time data in areas ranging from IoT/wearables, robotics and natural language. As a scientist in the NTT Research Medical and Health Informatics (MEI) Lab, which he joined in July 2019, Kataoka will leverage both data-driven and
