Folder: The new paradigm of cryptography
The increase in “deep fakes”, fraud, and cybercrime is threatening trust in the sincerity of the transactions that enable society to run on a daily basis, as well as in innovation and technical progress. The certification of data and transactions therefore remains essential, and cryptography meets this requirement. Its keys protect messages, thus guaranteeing the […]

Folder: Blockchain, from promises to results
Blockchain technology could profoundly alter the performance of many sectors of the economy, starting with banking, insurance and logistics. Concrete use cases are being planned. However, few players have developed revolutionary solutions and the potential of blockchain technology is still difficult to grasp.

Quantum computing is breaking down the barriers of cryptography
When postulating that the number of transistors on a chip would double every year, cofounder of Intel Gordon Moore predicted that the industry would reach a physical limit around 2020, that of the size of atoms. Quantum physics, which studies atom behaviour, is being called upon to extend “Moore’s law”. Applied to computing, the quantum […]

KeeeX, the startup that enables document certification
How did your startup, KeeeX, come to be? Originally, the idea was to turn any type of document into an “augmented” file via technical metadata and proofs of integrity, identity and date, a file whose cryptographic fingerprint could be anchored, or not, in the blockchain. Our added value lies in the fact that the proofs […]

The crypto ecosystem breaks out of its bubble
The cryptoassets universe generates value in the traditional economy, particularly through the new uses that established players are making of blockchain.

How Artificial Intelligence is accelerating cybersecurity analysts’ work
Created through a transversal research project involving different teams of experts from Orange, the DILAN solution uses Artificial Intelligence algorithms to automatically detect suspicious network flows and report them to cybersecurity analysts.

Algorithms to keep other algorithms in line!
Between human intervention and automated controls, Laurence Devillers, a researcher at the French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS), and Nozha Boujemaa, a Research Director at INRIA, discuss the matter of transparency in algorithms and artificial intelligence.

The digital identity conundrum
It’s quite common, nowadays, for people to have a dozen online accounts – if not many more – for a wide range of uses: email, e-commerce, banking, eGovernment, and so on. The upshot is that we have a whole array of log-ins and passwords, or else we use the same one for dozens of different […]
