Political campaigns struggle to balance AI personalization and voter privacy

In this Help Net Security interview, Mateusz Łabuz, researcher at the IFSH, discusses the balance between using AI for personalized political campaigns and protecting voter privacy. Łabuz also discusses the potential of AI in fact-checking, the regulatory landscape, and the influence of AI on campaign strategies in authoritarian regimes. How can campaigns balance leveraging AI for personalization with concerns about eroding voter privacy, particularly in jurisdictions with weaker data protection laws? One way to counteract … More → The post Political campaigns struggle to balance AI personalization and voter privacy appeared first on Help Net Security.

Beelzebub: Open-source honeypot framework

Beelzebub is an open-source honeypot framework engineered to create a secure environment for detecting and analyzing cyber threats. It features a low-code design for seamless deployment and leverages AI to emulate the behavior of a high-interaction honeypot. “I created Beelzebub because my research activities require deploying numerous honeypots from different families (e.g., WordPress, Joomla, SSH, MySQL). With Beelzebub, configuring and managing this is streamlined through simple YAML files, enabling rapid setup and scalability,” Mario Candela, … More → The post Beelzebub: Open-source honeypot framework appeared first on Help Net Security.

Evolving uses of tokenization to protect data

Tokenization replaces sensitive data, such as credit card numbers or personal identifiers, with unique, non-sensitive tokens with no exploitable value. This method helps protect sensitive information by ensuring that the actual data is never stored or transmitted, reducing the risk of breaches. Unlike encryption, which can be reversed with a key, tokenized data is only meaningful within a secure system that maps tokens back to the original values. In this Help Net Security video, Ruston … More → The post Evolving uses of tokenization to protect data appeared first on Help Net Security.

Quantum theory and thermodynamics: Maxwell’s demon?

An international collaboration sheds new light on the relationship between quantum theory and thermodynamics. The research group demonstrated that while the laws of quantum theory alone do not inherently prevent violations of the second law of thermodynamics, any quantum process can be implemented without actually violating the law. This surprising result suggests a peaceful coexistence between quantum theory and thermodynamics, despite their logical independence. This discovery could have profound implications for understanding the thermodynamic limits of quantum technologies, such as quantum computing and nanoscale engines.

‘Living’ electrodes breathe new life into traditional silicon electronics

Researchers have developed advanced terahertz photodetectors containing ‘living’ microelectrodes. A vanadium dioxide (VO2) layer was precisely deposited on a silicon substrate. Temperature regulation modulated the size of conductive metallic areas in VO2, forming a dynamic microelectrode network that selectively enhanced the response of the silicon substrate to terahertz light. These advanced photodetectors reveal the potential of modifiable metamaterials such as VO2 to overcome the performance limitations of traditional materials.
