JPL creates a library for safe documents project
@ 2023/06/16Parsons would be pleased
NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), which occultist Aleister Crowley follower Jack Parsons founded, has created the largest open-source archive of PDFs as part of DARPA's Safe Documents programme.
The corpus consists of approximately 8 million PDFs collected from the internet and it will improve security.
JPL data scientist Tim Allison said that PDFs were used everywhere and are essential for contracts, legal documents, 3D engineering designs, and many other purposes.
“Unfortunately, they are complex and can be compromised to hide malicious code or render different information for different users maliciously,” he said.
"To confront these and other challenges from PDFs, a large sample of real-world PDFs needs to be collected from the internet to create a shared, freely available resource for software experts."
