Samsung Electronics Develops Security Semiconductor to Prevent Quantum Computer Hacking

Samsung Electronics has developed a security chip equipped with hardware quantum-resistant cryptography (PQC) for the first time in the semiconductor industry. This is to respond to the risk of cryptographic systems being disabled by quantum computers in the future.



According to the Samsung Semiconductor homepage on the 26th, Samsung Electronics' DS (Semiconductor) Division's System LSI Division recently completed the development of the security chip 'S3SSE2A' that applies PQC technology to hardware and is preparing to ship samples.

PQC is a secure encryption algorithm that can respond to quantum computers, and is a technology that is gaining attention with the advent of quantum computers.



Quantum computers are a future technology that can handle complex problems that cannot be solved even by high-performance supercomputers by utilizing the characteristics of quantum mechanics and can quickly process large amounts of data.



The scientific community also predicts that when quantum computers with excellent computational speeds become available starting in 2028, hackers will be able to easily hack existing public key-based security systems.



In fact, according to the Global Risk Institute (GRI) in Canada, the probability of a 'destructive quantum threat' occurring over the next 15 years is 33-54%.



Samsung Electronics' S3SSE2A was developed to protect important data on mobile devices from such threats. While



the S3K250AF, a solution introduced in 2020, performed security calculations and processing in the security block of the application processor (AP) and stored data internally, S3SSE2A enables independent security processing and information storage, further enhancing safety.



In addition, it not only applied the Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS 204) created by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in the United States, but is also equipped with hardware PQC, making the calculation speed about 17 times faster than solutions that implement PQC calculations only with software.



Samsung Electronics said, "S3SSE2A is not just a single chip, but a turnkey solution that encompasses both hardware and software," adding, "We will further solidify our position in the mobile security market through S3SSE2A, which can protect important data on mobile phones from quantum computing threats."

Livestock Manure Methane Is Soaring, But ‘Resource Recovery’ Isn’t Working [Now is a Climate Crisis]

Image
It has been pointed out that the methane emissions from the livestock waste treatment process were actually reported to be 2.5 times smaller than the previous calculation standards. It is expected that livestock waste will increase rapidly in the future, but an analysis report has been released that 'biogasification', which turns it into a resource, is only at the 10% level. It is urgent to come up with countermeasures as methane, one of the greenhouse gases, is expected to increase rapidly. According to the analysis of the entire livestock waste treatment process for the first time in Korea, the largest source of methane emissions was pigs (73%), and only 14% of pig waste was used for biogas in the public sector. It has been pointed out that it is urgent to come up with countermeasures as methane from livestock waste is increasing rapidly but 'resource conversion' is insufficient.

KT and Microsoft (MS) are going beyond corporate partnerships to engage in hyper-collaboration to enhance Korea's artificial intelligence (A)I capabilities. The plan is to provide AI education to all citizens interested in AI and contribute to improving the level of "national AI literacy" (the ability to understand and utilize AI technology).

"TSMC to have 2nm line with monthly production capacity of 50,000 sheets by year-end"

Image
There is a report that TSMC, the world's largest foundry, is expected to have a 2nm process line capable of producing around 50,000 sheets per month by the end of this year. TSMC [Photo = TSMC] Taiwanese economic media Commercial Times reported on the 24th (local time) that TSMC's 2nm process production capacity could reach 50,000 sheets per month by the end of the year, and could increase to 80,000 sheets once the Baoshan and Kaohsiung factories are fully operational. TSMC's Baoshan factory is scheduled to receive its first order for the second half of this year from April 1, and its Kaohsiung factory in southern Taiwan is also reported to hold an expansion ceremony on the 31st. Kuo Ming-chi, an analyst at TF International, claimed via X (formerly Twitter) that "TSMC's 2nm trial production yield had already reached 60-70% three months ago, and is now well above that." TSMC has already secured an overwhelming share of th...
