Sorta bullshit from the same lab that hyped their night time solar that works but is thermodynamically impossible to be practical.

Flash an ir diode with encrypted data and because encrypted data looks like noise, you can't tell that the data isn't just heat noise.

That's it.

They invented a bunch of hype words to get press because unfortunately that's how labs get money these days.

I feel like publishing it like this effectively neuters the security aspect…?

Security by obscurity is no security at all. If you can't publish the details of a system and have it still work, it was never secure in the first place.

And the United States government, whose nuclear launch systems for decades had a default "0000000" password on systems so old they figured nobody would know how to hack them in person anymore, and they're incompatible with the internet.

It's disturbing to me that my high school hobby of fixing and operating old computers meant I could have launched nukes.

It's disturbing that a lunatic with dementia could have nuclear launch codes
