3D printed QR codes are the latest development in the prevention of counterfeitingand intellectual property (IP) theft. Created by an international team of researchers from NYU Tandon, New York, and NYU Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates (UAE), these invisible tags can be internally embedded within additive manufactured components, to be read later only by trusted...

3D-printed parts are increasingly finding their way into airplanes and operating rooms. Garter experts predict that, by 2021, 75% of new commercial and military aircraft will feature engine and airframe components made through additive manufacturing. Similarly, the use of 3D-printed medical implants are set to increase by 20 percent over the next decade. As the...

Today there are some 10 billion connected devices — excluding smartphones and computers — and those numbers are growing fast. One driver: mobile applications for medical devices, including biochips (devices that combine biochemistry and electrical and computer processing to run chemical reactions — sometimes many at once at the microscopic level). Paired with microfluidic systems, these “lab...

NYU Tandon researchers win NSF grant to develop tools to defend neural networks and machine learning systems from attack and identify security flaws

Registration Open for CSAW Preliminaries in Six Regions Worldwide as Competition Founded by NYU Tandon Enters 15th Year

When Damon McCoy, an assistant professor of computer science at NYU Tandon School of Engineering, heard from a friend that Facebook was about to publicize all its political-ad data, he was intrigued. With Facebook under increasing scrutiny for its role in reaching voters through targeted-ad campaigns, the move toward heightened transparency was unprecedented in the...

On August 31, two leading cybersecurity educational and financial institutions will take steps to widen that pipeline. The NYU Tandon School of Engineering will award an initial round of scholarships, funded by Bridgewater Associates, a global leader in institutional portfolio management and the largest hedge fund in the world, to students from under-represented minority groups...

Researchers at the NYU Tandon School of Engineering [have] developed Uptane, universal, free, and open-source framework to protect wireless software updates in vehicles, as part of the OTA cybersecurity toolkit for a growing number of automakers and suppliers. Open-source systems, which imprlynove through open security reviews, are an increasingly popular approach to securing OTA updates...

A team at NYU Tandon School of Engineering has found a new way to prove the provenance of a part. Led by Nikhil Gupta, an NYU associate professor of mechanical engineering, the university researchers divided up a QR code and hid the hundreds of pieces throughout the layers of the 3D-printed part.
