What is a Virtual Private Network?

February 2, 2016February 11, 2016 admin

A VPN (Virtual Private Network) is a private network that extends through an encapsulation process, and if necessary, encryption of data packets to different remote locations by using public transport infrastructure. Data packets from the private network travel through a “tunnel” defined in the public network. For remote access, VPN allows users to access their corporate network, assigning your remote computer addresses and privileges the same, although the connection is made through a public Internet access. Sometimes it may be interesting that communication that travels through the tunnel established in…

The next chip could be connected by light, instead of copper

December 25, 2015December 27, 2015 admin

Current computer processors use metal wires to exchange information with other components, sending and receiving electrical signals moving through them. This has limitations because of the resistance of copper. One area that historically promises to solve this problem is the photon: use light to transmit data over optical fiber, but the technology was too complex to be included in a microchip. Leaders of a project that got underway three American universities (the University of California at Berkeley, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the University of Colorado at Boulder) report…
