digitalquacks··on Twisted Light Sends Data Through Optical Fiber for First Time
"Twisting light means photons have a quantum characteristic called orbital angular momentum (OAM). Photons with OAM have electric and magnetic fields that corkscrew rather than oscillate in a plane. There are a theoretically infinite number of OAM values, and multiple beams having different orbital angular momentums can occupy the same fiber, allowing more data to be transferred." --quote from article
digitalquacks··on Ask HN: How does one create a fake identity?
An important aspect of this is to create a fake biometric. I am thinking fingerprint and iris. I work in the area of fake biometric detection, and let me tell you its quite easy to make a fake fingerprint. Clearly, its hard to create a fake biometric that impersonates someone else, but a new fake one is easy. http://www.wikihow.com/Fake-Fingerprints
