Cybersecurity Researcher at NJIT Toughens Git Software Repositories
Git, the most common protocol for computer programmers to keep track of their code, is becoming more secure because of software jointly developed by researchers at New Jersey Institute of Technology and New York University. Git underpins services such as GitHub, which alone has more than 100 million active users worldwide. But there have been security concerns over the years, and one problem is that Git-based systems rely on centralized administration requiring users to trust without the ability to verify, NJIT computer science professor Reza Curtmola explained.
