Cryptography is an obscure discipline. Unless you’re in big tech, a university or a research organization, you’re unlikely to meet its practitioners. Even then, you might have to search to find them. And then work hard to understand what they’re doing. But this field is critical to privacy and security in our digital age—and the […]

As we now look to NTT Research’s Upgrade 2024, this two-day event is once again scheduled to analyse enterprise software and cloud technology innovations around privacy, precision medicine, optical devices and the digital workplace. The conference features a strong element of hands-on demonstration setups (some working products, some at the applied prototype stage and some even

Over the past 20 years, innovation and new products seemed to come mainly from Silicon Valley entrepreneurs and other venture capitalist investments. But that may be changing, as research labs, academics and research and development groups come up with new ways to develop “what’s coming next.” In this episode, Keith chats with Chris Shaw, CMO

Generative AI platforms have dominated news cycles for much of 2023 and that probably won’t abate in 2024. That isn’t surprising. The technology is spreading through every facet of life. Education, employment, infrastructure, law, government, consumer spending… all of it has some application for AI for claimed good and obvious bad. And all of the

To sell us more goods and services, the algorithms of Google, Facebook and Amazon exhaustively parse our digital footprints. There’s nothing intrinsically wrong with companies seeking to better understand their customers. However, over the past 20 years the practice of analyzing user data hasn’t advanced much beyond serving the business models of these tech giants. That could

With the ongoing evolution of artificial intelligence and quantum computing, 2024 is poised for significant advancements as organizations increasingly adopt and innovate using these cutting-edge technologies. This technological surge, however, is accompanied by a rise in sophisticated cyberthreats. A significant concern is malicious actors’ misuse of generative artificial intelligence — or gen AI. Businesses are

The future of data privacy is the end of compromise. With the world producing data at astounding rates, we need ways to put data to the best use while protecting against breaches and ensuring privacy, data protection and access control. These principles are foundational to attribute-based encryption (ABE)—a novel form of encryption that after years

Kazuhiro Gomi, president and CEO of NTT Research: While the timing of threats posed by scalable quantum computers is still speculative, the need to prepare for this threat is real. With NIST’s expected release of more PQC standards in 2024, industries, governments and others are expected to begin ramping up their migration planning efforts. This is based

Even if the malicious use of quantum computing is some years away, the time to start preparing for it is now, says Kazuhiro Gomi, president & CEO of NTT Research: “The need to prepare for this threat is real. With NIST’s expected release of more PQC standards in 2024, industries, governments, and others are expected

Photonic processors are promising candidates for solving tough mathematical problems. Nature Photonics asked Yoshihisa Yamamoto, director of the Physics and Informatics Laboratories at NTT Research in USA, about the progress that is being made in realizing coherent Ising machines (CIMs).

Progress in quantum computing is ongoing and various organizations, including technology companies, startups and research institutions, are working on quantum hardware and software. Quantum computers could one day begin to solve problems that are traditionally very difficult for conventional computation platforms. However, it’s important to note that building a stable and scalable quantum computer is
