AFP Town planning: outcry to defend very sixties buildings in Toulouse Several architects are mobilizing alongside the inhabitants of the popular city of Mirail, in Toulouse, to avoid the destruction of 1,400 dwellings from the 1960s, pleading for their rehabilitation and denouncing a disastrous project on the ecological and economic level. Indy”, a massive eleven-storey … Read more
Through its increased computing power, quantum technology could, for example, produce electronic signatures, corrupt encrypted transactions/messages and allow the usurpation of the identity of servers or other entities involved in electronic exchanges. As a benchmark for digital trust in France, Docaposte has anticipated the post-quantum shift and is launching the implementation, within its Arkhineo Electronic … Read more
