The
latest tech challenge from the Defense Advanced Research Projects
Agency – aka DARPA – is offering $50,000 for piecing together messages
that have been shredded into thousands of bits. The Pentagon think tank
that previously offered multimillion-dollar robo-car races and a
nationwide hunt for red balloons has put five ripped-up puzzles online
to kick off its Shredder Challenge. “The goal is to identify and assess
potential capabilities that could be used by our warfighters operating
in war zones, but might also create vulnerabilities to sensitive
information that is protected through our own shredding practices
throughout the U.S. national security community,” DARPA said. Find out
