It's said necessity is the mother of invention. About 15 years ago, Dr Gernot Heiser, from Data 61, looked ahead and, despite being fit and healthy, could foresee a day when he might need an implanted, life-supporting device such as a pacemaker. And he didn't like the idea the it might be attacked remotely. So, he set out to build a trustworthy computing platform that could not be hacked.
Dr Larry Marshall is the CEO of CSIRO. He opened the Data61 Live event held in Melbourne on 28 June 2017. Celebrating Data 61’s first birthday, Marshall says the past can be an amazing teacher.
A new piece of research from Data 61, the digital research arm of CSIRO, has found the energy patterns we generate when we walk can be used to power mobile devices and to authenticate our identity. It turns out we have, in Star Trek parlance, unique energy signatures.
