University of Michigan May Have Developed First Unhackable Processor

The University of Michigan claims to have developed a completely unhackable processor, allowing data to be shuffled and encrypted faster than any hacking tools or programs, and much faster than a human being could maybe decipher.

Morpheus - RISC-5 Encryption Accelerator 'First Unhackable Processor'

The Academy of Michigan has developed a blazon of encryption accelerator know as Morpheus. Morpheus is a type of RISC-V processor designed with security equally the highest priority.

How Does Morpheus Piece of work?

Morpheus works by detecting code executed by the primary processor, encrypting the code, and and so shuffling the code. After encryption, Morpheus shuffles the encrypted code 20 times a second, allowing merely 50 milliseconds earlier the lawmaking is reshuffled. This shuffling machinery eliminates any possibility of a human to analyze code sent through Morpheus but as well eliminates the possibility for the nigh advanced hacking software to do and then.

Rather than tackling each type of hardware or software problems one past i, Morpheus creates the ability to fight many unlike variants of attacks all at one time. Morpheus has taken a dynamic arroyo to security.

Morpheus is currently in the prototype stage and is funded by the Usa Defense Advanced Inquiry Projects Agency (DARPA).

The terminate goal of Morpheus is to exist implemented in all types of systems, ranging from a desktop, server, and mobile CPUs, IoT devices, and military systems.

Todd Austin, a professor at the University of Michigan, says

'We've all seen how damaging an attack can exist when information technology hits a calculator that'due south sitting on your desk, but attacks on devices in your auto, in your smart lock, or even in your trunk could place users at a greater risk.'

Morpheus does have one drawback, though. For devices to take advantage of Morpheus, they would be required to stall for the 50ms time catamenia Morpheus requires to shuffle the data. This stall menses is estimated to drop performance by i%, therefore performance beingness most unnoticeable for profoundly increased security. Morpheus likewise packs an 'attack detector' which monitors for threats and increases the encryption shuffle rate if a threat is found.

When Will Morpheus 'Unhackable Processor' Become Available?

Agita Labs, founded by Professor Austin, will lead to commercializing Morpheus. No information is currently available for a potential release engagement.
