Collaboration, innovation drive SIAM Fellow to succeed
August 11, 2023 – 5:00 am
LIVERMORE, Calif. — For a man whose job is to envision outcomes, Ali Pinar says he was completely surprised when the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics named him one of its 2023 Fellows. “When I was pursuing my PhD, if somebody had told me I would become a SIAM Fellow — no way,” Pinar […]
Hackers could try to take over a military aircraft; can a cyber shuffle stop them?
February 27, 2023 – 5:00 am
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — A cybersecurity technique that shuffles network addresses like a blackjack dealer shuffles playing cards could effectively befuddle hackers gambling for control of a military jet, commercial airliner or spacecraft, according to new research. However, the research also shows these defenses must be designed to counter increasingly sophisticated algorithms used to break them. […]
