Securing The Cloud
By Ernest Worthman - 03 Mar, 2016 - Comments: 0

Cloud computing offers on-demand network access that is ubiquitous and convenient, with a pool of configurable computing resources such as shared networks, servers, storage, applications, and services. What makes this so attractive is these services can be provisioned and adapted to the load, with minimal management or service provider intervention. Cloud computing takes advantage of a distr... » read more

When Cryptographers Disagree
By Ed Sperling - 03 Mar, 2016 - Comments: 0

Six of the world's leading cryptography experts sat down this week to explore the most pressing issues in security. They took up topics ranging from whether Apple should facilitate the FBI's access to a known terrorist's iPhone, to what will become the next important cryptography algorithm. Among them: Ronald Rivest, an Institute Professor at MIT; Adi Shamir, co-inventor of the RSA algorithm... » read more

Oh, The Hypocrisy
By Ernest Worthman - 03 Mar, 2016 - Comments: 1

It's almost impossible to find anyone hasn’t heard about the privacy case chest-thumping going on between Apple and the FBI, as well as a few other federal entities. And by now the interview with Tim Cook and David Muir is quite public, as well. So how come, all of a sudden, Apple, Microsoft (although Bill Gates did come out on the government side) Google, Yahoo, Facebook, and countless ot... » read more

Developing Effective Design Strategies For Today’s Wearable Devices: Security
By Mentor, a Siemens Business - 03 Mar, 2016 - Comments: 0

We love our wearables, but wearable devices connected to public networks supporting bi-directional data flow make our devices...and us...highly susceptible to attack. Security can no longer be thought of as an “afterthought” to embedded system design; development teams must design in security methods and adopt a security development lifecycle approach that meets the appropriate security lev... » read more

Is Your IoT Network Just Another Playground For Hackers?
By Warren Kurisu - 03 Mar, 2016 - Comments: 0

Let's talk about how the IoT is evolving. Last year, Gartner published a study that said 5.5 million new “things” were being connected to the Internet every day. The study predicts that by the end of this year there will be 6.4 billion connected devices, and by 2020 there will be 20.8 billion connected devices. That’s a lot of connected things to keep track of and to protect fro... » read more

Industrial Electronics Gain Greater Manufacturing Flexibility With Embedded Memory
By Lee Sun - 03 Mar, 2016 - Comments: 0

While IoT continues to capture the semiconductor industry’s collective imagination, not to be overlooked is the industrial electronics market. Just consider the wide swath industrial electronics cuts. It could be anything related to electrical equipment in an industrial setting, and includes everything from control systems, instrumentation, mechanicals and diagnostics to signal processing and... » read more

Safe But Boring
By Ann Mutschler - 03 Mar, 2016 - Comments: 4

Everybody’s talking about self-driving cars. That they are safer, better drivers than humans. That we can just be along for the ride. That it will save lives, and improve the quality of all of our lives. Insurance rates go down. The list goes on. In fact, self-driving cars are already here, to some extent. Just consider the features available today from Tesla, for example, that has alrea... » read more

Battle Looms Over Mobile Payments
By Ernest Worthman - 03 Mar, 2016 - Comments: 0

The lines are drawn. The sides are sizing each other up. Apple is on one side with secure element, and Google and Microsoft are on the other side with host card emulation. Both are mobile payment systems for smartphones that rely on near-field communication technology. Apple fired the first shot with SE, and Google soon replied with HCE. And now both sides are ramping up after months of dela... » read more

Back Doors Are Everywhere
By Ernest Worthman - 03 Mar, 2016 - Comments: 0

By Ernest Worthman & Ed Sperling Back doors have been a part of chip design since the beginning. One of the first open references was in the 1983 movie "War Games," which features a young computer whiz who uses one to hack into a computer that controls the United States' nuclear arsenal. In reality, modern back doors predate Hollywood's discovery by about 20 years, starting in 1965 wi... » read more

Fuel Cells And The IoE
By Ernest Worthman - 10 Feb, 2016 - Comments: 1

There is no arguing with the fact that civilization is consuming power like never before. Even with a growing awareness of energy conservation at all levels, and across all types of platforms the world’s appetite for energy is growing, logarithmically. And technology is not going to be able to make conventional energy sources efficient, and earth-friendly enough to supply all that will be nee... » read more
