USA ‘In’ For Chip And Pin
By Brintha Koether - 07 Jul, 2014 - Comments: 1

Chip and PIN (or EMV) technology is on its way to a checkout near you whether your retailer likes it or not. With credit card fraud a growing problem for consumers, the USA is about to take the same major step up towards reducing it that was taken by most European countries over a decade ago. Seems logical, so why all the furore around implementing it? At the moment almost all American o... » read more

Rethinking Encryption
By Ann Mutschler - 07 Jul, 2014 - Comments: 0

With security experts working around the clock to beat the hackers, because the hackers are doing the very same thing to beat the security experts, it doesn’t come as much of a surprise to learn that researchers at European university EPFL have cracked a so-called “unassailable encryption algorithm” in just two hours. It turns out, a protocol based on allegedly tamper-proof “discrete... » read more

Why An IBM Sale Matters

The rumored sale of IBM’s semiconductor unit to GlobalFoundries could add some interesting capabilities for the foundry, including deep process technology and expertise. It also could have some far-reaching effects for the entire semiconductor industry. The reason revolves around ongoing U.S. government initiatives to improve visibility for components throughout its supply chain. IBM has b... » read more

The Next Big Threat: AI Malware
By Ernest Worthman - 07 Jul, 2014 - Comments: 1

It’s an understatement to say that today’s cyber adversaries and cyber threats are reaching unparalleled levels of sophistication. Malevolent entries and their creators have, and will continue to, devise über-complex malware that will seem to take on an intelligence of its own. In fact, artificially intelligent malware is coming to a system near you. The ability of threats to morph, on ... » read more

Thoughts On DAC While Watching The World Cup
By Anne Cirkel - 03 Jul, 2014 - Comments: 0

Are you following the World Cup? I am. For those of you who don’t know me, I’m German, so soccer (rather, Fussball) is much more up my alley than football or baseball will ever be. When it comes to DAC planning, we are still at the fun, early stage of casting about widely for ideas and feedback. Mostly now we’re looking to prompt a bit of creative discussion, a challenge since the majo... » read more

More Simplicity Next Year
By Anne Cirkel - 20 Jun, 2014 - Comments: 0

I briefly mentioned last week that I want to give you a glimpse behind the curtain of the DAC operation during the year. One goal of this blog is to give you some insight into the work the fabulous volunteers for DAC are doing. And that’s not only the 20 volunteers on the DAC Executive Committee. From the technical program committees all the way to the marketing committee, the event is entire... » read more

Kicking Off DAC 2015
By Anne Cirkel - 13 Jun, 2014 - Comments: 2

The DAC executive committee closed the 51st DAC last Friday. And guess what? Right afterward we had the first planning meeting for next year’s conference, for which I’ll serve as General Chair. Because most attendees don’t really get a glimpse behind the curtain into these sorts of activities, I thought I’d experiment by blogging my way to next June in San Francisco. I plan to publis... » read more

The Hidden Side Of Security
By Ed Sperling - 05 Jun, 2014 - Comments: 0

Inside of large chip companies, security is being taken very seriously these days. They just don’t talk about it very much—and sometimes not at all, even to their own employees. In fact, procedures have been instituted inside all of the major chipmakers to ensure that chips are secure on every level, including who gets to see what data within those companies, according to multiple Semico... » read more

M2M And The Internet Of Things
By Ernest Worthman - 05 Jun, 2014 - Comments: 1

Securing the Internet of Things/Everything (IoT/E) is a bit like herding cats. There are so many elements that will make up the IoT/E, it may seem an insurmountable objective to corral them all into a single stable. By some accounts, we’re on our way toward 200 billion Internet-connected machines by 2020, according to IDC. Soon we will live in a world where automated machine-to-machine (M2M) ... » read more

It Takes An Army
By Ed Sperling - 05 Jun, 2014 - Comments: 0

Security has always been a two-way educational process. The bad guys figure out where the weaknesses are, and the good guys figure out how they got in and ways to prevent it. This worked fine for antivirus software in the early days of the PC era, because viruses typically were generalized and the damage they did was rather crude and frequently reversible. Increasingly, however, a deep under... » read more
