Chip Security Impacts Power, Performance
By Ann Mutschler - 05 Jun, 2014 - Comments: 1

We know that hackers are getting more sophisticated all the time to the point that it may already be possible to gain access to an automobile without touching it. According to this Financial Times article, with new cars containing an increasing number of connected applications – everything from music streaming services and Bluetooth to email readers and likely even GPS systems – it leaves t... » read more

It’s All IP In An SoC
By Ernest Worthman - 05 Jun, 2014 - Comments: 1

[getkc id="43" comment="IP"] (IP) has become the major building blocks of complex, highly integrated systems on chips ([getkc id="81" kc_name="SoC"]s), which are found in almost every modern, intelligent electronic device. They have evolved into a one-chip solution that manages many to all of the functions, features, and applications that are found in the ubiquitous sea of today’s electronic... » read more

Securing Your Intestinal Data
By Ernest Worthman - 05 Jun, 2014 - Comments: 0

Medical devices that use IP or wireless protocols to pass data and instruction between the host and the client aren’t all that unique. What is unique is the diversity, intensity, and depth of today’s security breaches, particularly in the face of the emerging Internet of Things/Everything (IoT/E) and the general lack of security across such medical devices. These elements can lay these medi... » read more

Locking Down The Chip
By Ernest Worthman - 05 Jun, 2014 - Comments: 1

The crypto processor is poised to break into the mainstream SoC world. Lower costs for manufacturing, coupled with rising security concerns from increased connectivity and growing complexity have cracked open the door on this approach to locking down a chip. Crypto processors aren’t a new concept, but they generally have been reserved for high-end applications. Until recently, they have ju... » read more

Mobile Device Security
By Rambus - 05 Jun, 2014 - Comments: 0

As the functionality of mobile devices has increased, so have the threats. These devices make attractive targets, given the sensitivity of user and corporate data they process and store, their emerging use for viewing protected content and conducting sensitive banking and payment transactions. Until recently, hardware and software based defenses for mobile platforms lagged behind those found in... » read more

Plastic Is Dead, Long Live Plastic
By Brintha Koether - 05 Jun, 2014 - Comments: 0

This year more than 300bn non-cash payment transactions will take place globally, representing over 50% of all payments. Of these, 300bn plus non-cash transactions, over 200bn, will be made with a plastic payment card; that is a debit, credit, or pre-paid card. Of the 3.5bn payment cards issued this year, over 2bn will be chip cards. But the question is whether the chip cards that are repla... » read more

Security Matters In The Face Of The Internet Of Things
By Ben Jun - 01 May, 2014 - Comments: 0

There’s much talk about the huge growth potential of the Internet of Things, with estimates citing 30 billion to 50 billion connected devices by 2020. One billion smartphones were sold in the last five years; an impressive number, no doubt. But did you know we also added 244 million smart grid devices, over 5 billion consumer electronics devices, and over 500 million connected appliances i... » read more

Object Security And The IoT
By Ernest Worthman - 01 May, 2014 - Comments: 0

Objects of the IoT will be anything and everything. It is conceivable that, eventually, almost every animate and inanimate object will have a cybernetic umbilical cord to it. IoT “things” take on virtual representations. They have intelligence. They are able to interact with each other as well as mine and store data about what and how objects are being used, what their status is, who and... » read more

Wireless Security Issues Grow
By Ernest Worthman - 01 May, 2014 - Comments: 0

The Internet, as we know it today, is still mostly an information highway. However, even as we speak, more and more once autonomous, physical objects are becoming intelligent. That includes the obvious ones, such as today’s smart communications devices, to the not so evident ones, such as pacemakers, vehicles, audio/video, and environmental sensors. There are microscopic cameras that are swal... » read more

Hiding The Electronic Crumbs
By Ed Sperling - 01 May, 2014 - Comments: 0

Imagine an old Western movie where the posse tracks the outlaws by following footsteps on a dirt trail or looking for broken branches. Now fast forward to the present, where the trail is electronic, the posse is comprised of bad guys, and the loot is frequently encrypted. As any security expert will concede, every security system can be compromised, every chip can be reverse engineered and h... » read more
