InvisibleSHIELD Strength Test - iPhone
ZAGG's invisibleSHIELD™ is a thin, polyurethane film originally created for the military to protect the leading edge of helicopter blades. What's unique about this military-grade film is how tough it is - it doesn't scratch. Introduced in early 2005, the invisibleSHIELD is the first product of its kind. Its patent-pending, full body protection has revolutionized the industry and has changed the way people think of protecting their devices. Others have tried to imitate it and have fallen short.
Apart from keeping your devices scratch-free, the invisibleSHIELD provides some unexpected benefits. Unlike cases, its uncompromising design doesn't take away from the look and feel of your device. It adds no bulk, allowing you to freely hold, carry, and dock your device without interruption. Also its "grippy" feel allows you to be far less likely to drop your once slippery device.
Cold Boot Attacks on Encryption Keys
If you haven't gotten a chance yet, do watch the video of this attack. It's does a good job explaining the problem. Full drive encryption stores the key in RAM while the computer is powered on. The RAM's stored data doesn't immediately disappear when powered off, but fades over time. To recover the keys, they powered off the computer and booted from a USB disk that created an image of the RAM.
Aussie team claims 5Gbps wireless breakthrough
That's a substantial achievement in and of itself, but NICTA's new "GiFi" transmitter is supposedly loaded with a host of other goodies. GiFi is small, at just 5mm per-side (25mm sq.), it's built using CMOS, uses a 1mm antenna, costs less than $10, uses a built-in power amplifier that's only a few microns wide, and draws around 2W of power. That much power consumption means we'll not be seeing GiFi in any mobile devices anytime soon—not unless NICTA can cut the chip's power draw by an order of magnitude—but the rest of the claims made for the nascent standard paint it as the ultimate solution for high-speed, close-range wireless networking. Professor Stafidas, at least, seems to think this is likely. He claims to have spent over a decade designing GiFi, and states that he believes the chip will one day be found "in every consumer device."
According to Stafidas, NICTA will spin out a startup corporation later this year to market and commercialize the design. He estimates that his team needs about a year (and $10 million) to finish R&D and begin production of GiFi transmitters. NICTA is working with the IEEE to ensure GiFi meets standard specifications as defined by IEEE 802.15.3c, and plans to have prototype GiFi's built by the end of the year.
If GiFi seems a little too good to you, you aren't alone. NICTA is essentially claiming to have leapfrogged the competition, and is representing its product as the only real solution for this type of transmission moving forward. That's enough to raise anyone's skepticism level, and the optimistic cost projections and time-to-market estimates don't help much. It's possible that NICTA has actually made fundamental advancements that will speed deployment of short-range, ultra-high-speed networks—but it seems more likely that the organization has drunk a bit too much of its own Kool-Aid.
