Optical fibres are a technology that uses glass or plastic threads (fibres) to transmit data.Ī fibre optic cable comprises a bundle of these threads, each of which is capable of transmitting messages modulate onto light waves.įibre optics enable more information to be carried due to some of its properties which include low cost, immunity from disturbances that can affect electrical wires and wireless communication systems, and the fact that they are much thinner an lighter than metal wires.
'Optical fibres are very sensitive to vibration,' Luc Thévenaz at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne, Switzerland, who wasn't involved in the study, told New Scientist.Įverywhere on Earth, hair-thin optical fibres carry large amounts of information from different places. This would allow other people to eavesdrop and recover them at remote places along the fibre link. One type of broadband network architecture using optical fibre is known as fibre to the premises (FTTP).Īs the name suggests, this is where fibre-optic cables run all the way to a premises, whether it be a house, flat building or office.Īccording to the current layout mode of FTTP, fibre up to several meters will be installed in residents' homes.īut sound signals could be modulated onto the light wave that the fibre transmits, without installing any additional equipment in the resident's home. 'However, it also brings some potential security problems, which should be considered carefully.' Each unique verse is encrypted only once in its original language - Hebrew.'These applications of optical fibre networks, including earthquake detection, urban traffic flow monitoring, underground geological structure exploration, have positive impacts on people’s production and life. By transferring it to the blockchain it leaves a digital copy that cannot be altered or destroyed. Historically there have been many attempts at altering or destroying the Bible. This is where the blockchains ability to store information in a decentralized manner comes in. Secondly it's part of an initiative to preserve the Bible, one the most important books in the history of mankind, on the blockchain. It is akin to a 21st century judaica that can be given as a gift at a bar mitzvah, wedding or to keep it as a collectible. Firstly to give anyone the opportunity to own a unique piece of the Bible and even make a personal dedication on the blockchain to someone they hold dear. Using the ethereum blockchain the project follows 2 goals.
All verses are classified into special collections, based on 45 stories and 536 biblical scenes. The project, made by Yuval Meyraz and Yonatan Bendahan, has encrypted a total of 5844 verses from the first five books of the Bible: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers & Deuteronomy.
In many ways it mirrors the uniqueness and dichotomy of the country, which on the one hand is the birthplace of the Bible, while on the other hand embraces modern technology like no other country in the 21st century. 29, 2021 /PRNewswire/ - CryptoVerses is the first of its kind NFT project to encrypt Bible verses and to date the largest and most ambitious NFT project in Israel.
