You might think your computer runs quietly—or, if you’re unlucky, noisily—but either way you probably wouldn’t expect that its hum could give away your secrets. Turns out, that the noise your computer makes can reveal the RSA keys it’s using.

While Machinima has spread its wings beyond its namesake game engine-based movies, the company has only occasionally broken out of its familiar video game template. Those horizons are about to get wider through a collaboration with Ridley Scott’s production house, RSA. Scott and RSA president Jules Daly will serve as executive producers for a project generating 12 short sci-fi films for Machinima’s channels, with the directors culled from among RSA’s superstar ranks. In theory, it’s a win-win scenario: Machinima gets professionally-made movies to diversify its library, while directors can explore ideas that wouldn’t necessarily be approved for a full-length feature. There’s a hope for District 9-style regular movies co-developed with Machinima if all goes well, but we’d advise patience when the partnership hasn’t even chosen its directors. It will take some time before we’re catching a sci-fi mini-drama from the comfort of our living rooms.

Sure, it’s not the first elite cybercrime-fighting team we’ve heard of, it’s also not everyday you hear the likes of Intel, Lockheed Martin and AMD buddying up on research. The companies are looking to address the “complex problems” in cyber security, with the private, non-profit group (which also includes Honeywell and RSA/EMC) aiming to work somewhere between government-funded security research and commercial products already out there. The Cyber Security Research Alliance is already in talks with NIST, and plans to launch a security research symposium early next year. The CSRA will also start tracking cyber security R&D, “prioritize” those aforementioned challenges, and hopefully come together for the greater good.

If you’re used to seeing a device like this on a daily basis, you probably assume that it’s a vital security measure to keep your employer’s networks and data secure. A team of computer scientists beg to differ, however— because they’ve cracked the encryption it uses wide open. More »
