The IIoT is at the basis of the so-called Smart Factories, new advanced manufacturing units of the fourth industrial revolution. Smart sensors, super-fast connections, artificial intelligence ...

In most industrial plants, it's not uncommon to have programmable logic controllers (PLCs) from different suppliers, often on the same production line. Each PLC may come with a different communication ...

Industrial control system networks continue to run on legacy communication protocols that were built for reliability and uptime, not authentication or data integrity. In many environments, malicious ...

For a microservices architecture to operate smoothly, the services and components that populate the architecture must communicate reliably and consistently. Unfortunately, each call and response ...

Solutions for asynchronous serial communication between systems or subsystems include many possible interface implementations – for example, RS-232, RS-485, RS-422, controller area network (CAN), ...

Interoperability and decentralization have been major themes in tech this year, driven in large part by mounting regulation, societal and industrial pressure and the hype trains that are crypto and ...

Quantum key distribution allows two users to establish secret keys whose security is grounded in the laws of quantum mechanics. Extending this capability to multiple users is an essential step toward ...

Quantum secure direct communication (QSDC) protocols enable the direct transmission of secret messages via quantum channels, obviating the need for a separate key distribution phase. Unlike quantum ...

Have you ever wondered why AI systems, despite their incredible capabilities, often struggle to work together seamlessly? As artificial intelligence continues to evolve, the lack of standardized ...
