MIT researchers create wireless transmitter to thwart hackers

Typically, this method, known as frequency hopping, sends each data packet over a random radio channel. These packets often contain thousands of bits, and larger packets move just sluggishly enough to let hackers intercept them. The MIT transmitter, however, goes a step further; it bounces each individual bit at random every microsecond across 80 different …
