Can hackers crack million-dollar dare?

Published: 11 December 2000 y., Monday
An Australian company, that claims to have developed the ultimate security-proof system, will soon issue a multi-million dollar dare to the hacking underworld. With a 30-day deadline, the challenge to crack Secure Systems' Silicon Data Vault technology will be issued by 15 December. A successful crack will see US$10,000 donated by Secure Systems to a charity of the hacker's choice, otherwise if the technology isn't penetrated, US$1m will be donated to the "Make a Wish Foundation" when Secure Systems strikes a commercialisation deal that takes the technology to market. Three years in development, the Silicon Data Vault was recently unveiled at the E-Security Conference and Exposition in the US. Configured to meet the needs of the everyday PC user, banking systems, government needs, as well as those of the military, the price tag attached to the Silicon Data Vault will depend on how much security is put through the chip, Wynn said.
