Researchers at the Institute of Electronic Structure and Laser (IESL) at the FORTH research institute in Heraklion have combined holograms with Artificial Intelligence to create an uncrackable system of optical encryption. According to a news release from FORTH, the approach of optical encryption could provide increased security in the fields of crypto currencies, healthcare, communications and many other areas. “As the demand for digital security grows, researchers have developed a new optical system that uses holograms to encode information, creating a level of encryption that traditional methods cannot penetrate. This advance could pave the way for more secure communication channels, helping to protect sensitive data,” it says.
