Majorana Zero Modes

WHAT EVEN IS MAJORANA Majorana zero modes (MZMs) are quasiparticles — not quite particles in the traditional sense — predicted by Italian physicist Ettore Majorana in the 1930s. They’re their own antiparticles, which sounds wild but makes them perfect for quantum computing. In the right conditions, usually at ultra-low temperatures inside certain types of superconducting materials, you can get these Majorana zero modes to appear at the ends of nanowires. They don’t “exist” in the normal Read more…

Working of a Quantum computer

WORKING OF A QUANTUM COMPUTER The working of a quantum computer is grounded in the principles of quantum mechanics, which govern the behavior of matter and energy at the smallest scales. In essence, a quantum computer leverages quantum phenomena like superposition, entanglement, and interference to perform computations. Here’s a breakdown of how a quantum computer works, step by step: A Google quantum computer, shown here without its refrigeration housing, has multiple layers descending from top Read more…

Antivirus and AI discussion

ANTIVIRUS AND AI DISCUSSION The relationship between antivirus software and artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming increasingly important in the fight against modern cyber threats. Antivirus solutions have traditionally relied on signature-based detection, which involves identifying known malware by matching it with pre-existing signatures in a database. However, with the rise of advanced persistent threats (APTs), zero-day exploits, and fileless malware, traditional methods have become less effective. As a result, AI and machine learning are playing Read more…

How does VPN work

HOW DOES VPN WORK A Virtual Private Network (VPN) is a technology that creates a secure and encrypted connection over a less-secure network, often the internet. VPNs are used to protect privacy, secure sensitive data, and access content that might be restricted based on geographical location or network policies. In this review, we’ll explain how VPNs work, their benefits, limitations, and why you might want to use one. A VPN is a service that allows Read more…

Antivirus and Artificial Intelligence

ANTIVIRUS AND ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE Antivirus and Artificial Intelligence. Although a Mac is considered more safe to PC’s, they also face the same treats as PC’s do. In the past Mac’s were not widely used on our planet so they were less interesting to people trying to pry in your computer software and look for any interesting data like your bankaccount and used passwords etcetera.But in recent years, as Mac’s popularity has grown, Macs have gained the Read more…

How Ransomware encryption works

HOW RANSOMWARE ENCRYPTION WORKS Ransomware is a type of malware that encrypts files on a victim’s computer or network, rendering them inaccessible, and then demands a ransom (usually in cryptocurrency) for the decryption key that will allow the victim to regain access to their data. The encryption is a key part of the attack because it locks the victim’s files in a way that makes them unreadable without the decryption key, which the attacker holds. Read more…

How a computer virus works

HOW A COMPUTER VIRUS WORKS A computer virus is a type of malicious software (malware) designed to replicate itself and spread to other computers. It typically attaches itself to a legitimate program or file, and when that program is executed, the virus is also executed, often without the user’s knowledge. Once active, the virus can cause a variety of harmful effects, ranging from disrupting system functionality to corrupting or stealing data. To understand how a Read more…

Why use 2FA authentication 

WHY USE 2FA AUTHENTICATION Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) is a security measure that adds an extra layer of protection to your online accounts. It significantly improves the security of your accounts by requiring two forms of identification before granting access, rather than just a username and password. Here’s why you should use 2FA: Using Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) is a simple but highly effective way to protect your online accounts. It significantly reduces the risk of unauthorized Read more…
