Iran Builds a Supercomputer
build such a device, the Iranians have managed to get their hands on super-strength CPUs, either through producing or buying such an advanced technology.
A system analyst interviewed by Channel 2 said a supercomputer could help Iran analyze information extremely quickly and use sophisticated encrypting software which requires high-processing power only available from such a machine.
The Iranian supercomputer is expected to make the job of intelligence communities worldwide much harder and the custom-written encryption algorithms might slow them down critically in crucial times.
The significance of Tehran`s technological achievement is that it could retard the task of retrieving intelligence on military actions such as trajectories or targets of Iranian missiles.
Iran previously owned encrypting software sold to it by Switzerland, but the US managed to hack into the Swiss software. Consequently, Tehran decided to invest in a domestic encryption program.
Iran has made giant achievements in the field of science and technology during the last few years.
