NEC Develops New Secret Dispersion Technologies

Image
VARINDIA- INDIA'S FRONTLINE IT MAGAZINE NEC Corporation has announced the development of secret dispersion technologies that safely and securely disperse and save confidential information, even in open environments such as cloud computing networks. Secret dispersion technologies manage data by dispersing it into multiple parts and restoring the data based on specific requests. These technologies are expected to prevent data from leaking when saving important information. These newly developed technologies help solve this issue by enabling key data to be restored by collecting a range of check digit data, which confirms when tampering takes place, then using an optimized combination of error-correcting code technologies that correct communication and memory errors and conventional secret dispersion technologies. This enables tampering to be identified with only about 20 bytes of check digit data, which is nearly the same data size as secret information and doesn't require the m

Cisco VNI forecasts Global Mobile Internet Data Traffic

Image
VARINDIA- INDIA'S FRONTLINE IT MAGAZINE According to the Cisco Visual Networking Index (VNI) Global Mobile Data Traffic Forecast for 2011 to 2016, worldwide mobile data traffic will increase 18-fold over the next five years, reaching 10.8 exabytes per month or an annual run rate of 130 exabytes by 2016. The expected sharp increase in mobile traffic is due, in part, to a projected surge in the number of mobile Internet-connected devices, which will exceed the number of people on earth (2016 world population estimate of 7.3 billion; source: United Nations). During 2011−2016, Cisco anticipates that global mobile data traffic will outgrow global fixed data traffic by three times. This mobile data traffic increase represents a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 78 per cent spanning the forecast period. The incremental amount of traffic being added to the mobile Internet between 2015 and 2016 alone is approximately three times the estimated size of the entire mobile Internet in 2012.
