Combating Counterfeit Semiconductors In The Military Supply Chain
By Rambus - 09 Oct, 2019 - Comments: 0

The reality: semiconductors are often counterfeits. In most current implementations, semiconductor authenticity is practically impossible to guarantee. The counterfeit market for semiconductors is real, sizable and growing: • 2012: According to a report produced by the Senate Armed Services Committee, more than 1,000,000 suspect counterfeit electronic components have been used in 1,800 sep... » read more

New Security Risks Create Need For Stealthy Chips
By Ed Sperling - 03 Oct, 2019 - Comments: 0

Semiconductors are becoming more vulnerable to attacks at each new process node due to thinner materials used to make these devices, as well as advances in equipment used to simulate how those chips behave. Thinner chips are now emitting light, electromagnetic radiation and various other types of noise, which can be observed using infrared and acoustic sensors. In addition, more powerful too... » read more

In a video, Cadence's Tom Hackett explains finite element analysis by looking at a simple model of a bridge and showing why FEA techniques are required for analysis of real-world structures. Synopsys' Taylor Armerding examines why the 156-year-old False Claims Act has new relevance when companies are accused of failing to meet cybersecurity standards. Mentor's Colin Walls demystifies memo... » read more

What is Card-on-file EMV Payment Tokenization
By Rambus - 02 Oct, 2019 - Comments: 0

The way we pay is changing. Consumers are now using their PC, smartphones, wearable devices and even cars to buy goods and services. The size and value of the card-not-present (CNP) market, therefore, is increasing exponentially as payment use-cases across e-commerce, m-commerce and the Internet of Things (IoT) emerge and mature. Understand the risk of card-not-present fraud, learn how to... » read more
