The issue focused on the role of technology in digital devices, according to computer science professor Carole N. Marrow, who was an editor for the journal.

"It's not that everybody is going to be able to get their hands on a machine and make this happen," she said. "But it will help."

As researchers look for ways to address computer security issues, computer scientists are also looking at using machines to perform computations that computers can't do. Computer scientists have been working on
