DARPA Contest Winners Prove Shredders Aren?t Quite As Safe As You Think

DARPA's Shredder Challenge, a contest to reconstruct documents from a slurry of shredded paper, has been solved, suggesting that my grandmother may be barking up the wrong tree when she shreds the Campmor catalog. Three scientists with experience in computer vision and mobile technology, Otavio Good, Luke Alonso, and Keith Walker, scanned each chunk for unique characteristics that allowed them to reconstruct the documents automatically on screen. They then put the pages back together by hand. Their team won a $50,000 prize.
