IIT Delhi Develops Advanced Mechanism for Secure Data Storage
Introduction
Researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Delhi have developed a Cyclic Transparent Optical Polymer which is a material-based charge writing mechanism by which it will be easy to develop advanced electronic devices for storage of data and encryption.
This research was conducted with the collaboration of the Max Plank Institute of Polymer Research and the University of Stuttgart, Germany has recently been published in the renowned science journal "ACS Langmuir". The team that worked for this is in the process of filing a patent for the mechanism.
Ankur Goswami, Assistant Professor at the Department of Materials Science and Engineering, IIT Delhi, stated that late exchange of information securely has become a challenge for enhancement in the Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence. This is proved to be a very initial step of charge writing capability at nanoscale but it can be extended to the macroscale with the use of motorized stage and probe, like lithographic patterning," Singh added.
According to Mr Goswami, “It has become imperative to develop systems where the classified information can be shared among the security and surveillance agencies securely. Written information, which can only be shared via physical means, can be traced and read by a middleman that may lead to a strong threat to the nation,"
"Therefore, there is a need to have a strong mechanism which can write and read information, which can be easily accessed by the sender and receiver.
The researchers under this process also explained that the proposed mechanism also has the potential to be utilized in various other fields for measuring surface charges like renewable energy generation from rainwater and chemical sensing for water quality monitoring.
