Do you get the sense that Project Natal is … missing something? Accessory peddler dreamGear does. The maker of such essentials as the 3-In-1 Player’s Sports Kit for Wii, the 7-In-1 Player’s Kit for Wii, the 10-In-1 Player’s Kit for Wii, and the 15-In-1 Player’s Kit for Wii is already hard at work trying to adapt its enhancements for Microsoft’s upcoming motion technology release. “One of the biggest challenges for peripherals firms is keeping up with changing technology, particularly the trend toward interactive gaming started by Nintendo and now embraced by Microsoft’s Project Natal,” dreamGEAR COO Richard Weston explains to MCV . Molding a plastic steering wheel that fits in everyone’s hands is a true challenge, you see. “From all the recent revelations at E3 for Xbox 360, PS3 and Wii, motion sensing devices and add-on accessories for these devices will be the main focus in the future,” Logic3’s sales manager Paul Croucher frighteningly foretells. So then, the snooker cue attachment for the PS3 wand confirmed

This latest trailer for King of Fighters XII makes with the pummeling, as trailers for fighting games are wont to do. We’ve said it once, and we’ll say it again: Pretty sprites these be. The game just looks great, plain and simple. And on top of that, the gameplay is something we know we’ll enjoy, because, well, it’s King of Fighters , and King of Fighters doesn’t really change. Oh, and we totally love watching Kim Kaphwan get the business.

IBM’s Charles Lickel likens homomorphic encryption to performing “flawless neurosurgery while blindfolded.” IBM believes it has cracked – if you’ll pardon the pun – the tricky subject of handling and processing sensitive encrypted data. As reported over on TechRadar , IBM researcher Craig Gentry has figured out a way to analyse and process encrypted data without actually decrypting it first – ensuring total data security at all points. The technique, known as homomorphic encryption, allows encrypted data to be worked with in the same way as unencrypted data – with the exception that the original clear-text data is never at risk of exposure. While homomorphic encryption was first mooted around thirty years ago by cryptography giants Ron Rivest and Leonard Adleman – two of the three people behind the popular RSA public-key crypto algorithm - it’s not until now that a workable implementation has been developed. Gentry’s discovery – made as a summer student at IBM’s Research division while working on his PhD thesis - that ideal lattices can be used to work with encrypted data could prove to be a real boon for the burgeoning cloud computing industry, which still suffers from a concern – especially in big business – that private data is shipped to a third party over a public network.

The process could also be used to detect viruses in encrypted e-mails and even to allow complete privacy when using a web search engine. The vice president of Software Research at IBM Charles Lickel described the technique as being similar to “ enabling a layperson to perform flawless neurosurgery while blindfolded, and without later remembering the episode, ” which is just about the most awesome thing any IBM employee has ever said. While it’ll take a while for IBM to iron out the kinks in the new technology, it’s likely that analysis of encrypted data will be a feature of most servers before too long
