The FT crypto glossary
Any cryptocurrency other than the original cryptocurrency, Bitcoin, is known as an alt-coin. Alt-coins range from relatively well-established and popular coins like Ether through to joke currencies like dogecoin. The term is also sometimes applied to stablecoins or to tokens that represent a stake of ownership, such as a security token.
Mission-critical Cybersecurity for Industrial-grade Wireless Networks
Authentication is a method used to validate that a device or user is authorized to gain network access and that the source of data is genuine. Authentication is an important aspect of industrial security linked to process availability—and can be more important than the concept of encryption. Devices within a network must be authenticated and industrial-grade wireless networks should support device authentication.
Governing The Future Of AI
The Ancient Greek playwrights knew how to tell a good story, but occasionally found themselves searching for a way to solve whatever conflict they had concocted. So they invented the “deus ex machina”—literally, god from the machine—in which an actor playing a god was brought on stage via a mechanical device to miraculously resolve the problem as only a god can do.

The Main Obstacles to Digital Transformation in the Manufacturing Sector
Digital transformation is an ambitious task for almost any business, no matter what industry they belong to. This requires institutional change, which requires the active participation of all those involved. The role of digital transformation in manufacturing is quite evident in recent years because of the different technologies that have helped to simplify tasks.
Blockchain technology can make micropayments finally functional
As the use of digital wallets and cryptocurrencies becomes more abundant, new use cases for micropayments will be further explored and developed. I recently came across Marc Andreessen’s article from 2014 on Bitcoin (BTC). In many ways, it is visionary (no surprise). I have been in the industry for four years now, with most of my focus being on the social impact of blockchain.
Questions and Answers: Strengthening cybersecurity of wireless devices and products
The Commission is concerned that the design of wireless devices sold in the EU does not guarantee a sufficient level of cybersecurity, personal data protection and privacy of their users. In recent years, products have been identified on the EU market that take advantage of a weak level of security of certain categories of wireless devices and are vulnerable to attacks or theft of personal data, or allow recording of children’s play.
How AI is speeding up the digital transformation in enterprise
The operating environment of enterprises is rapidly and fundamentally being altered. Powered by a smarter, more demanding customer spoilt for choices, and doting employees who expect a consumerised experience to deliver value for their organisation, enterprises who tend to delay the adoption to newer and cutting-edge business demands are bound to be left behind and relegated to irrelevance.
