Week in Review: IoT, Security, Auto
By Jeff Dorsch - 08 Feb, 2019 - Comments: 0

Internet of Things McKinsey & Company identified 10 top trends in the Internet of Things. They include: IoT is a business opportunity, not just a tech opportunity; disciplined execution across multiple use cases is the path to value; and IoT is gradually enabling more subscription business models, but consumers are resistant. Louis Columbus of IQMS provides some IoT data points and id... » read more

New kilogram definition After years of debate and scientific work, a group of delegates from 60 countries have voted to redefine four key unit measurements—the kilogram, electric current (ampere), temperature (kelvin), and the amount of substance (mole). The vote took place at the recent 26th General Conference of Weights and Measures. Hosted by the International Bureau of Weights and Mea... » read more

Panel Fan-out Ramps, Challenges Remain
By Mark LaPedus - 05 Nov, 2018 - Comments: 0

After years of R&D, panel-level fan-out packaging is finally beginning to ramp up in the market, at least in limited volumes for a few vendors. However, panel-level fan-out, which is an advanced form of today’s fan-out packaging, still faces several technical and cost challenges to bring this technology into the mainstream or high-volume manufacturing. Moreover, several companies are d... » read more

Quantum Random Numbers Future-Proof Encryption
By Kevin Fogarty - 01 Nov, 2018 - Comments: 0

It may be a decade or more before quantum computers become common enough that we'll find out whether "post-quantum cryptography" will stand up to genuine quantum computers. In the meantime, some quantum researchers are peeling off specific functions and turning them into products or companies so that it's possible to take advantage of the potential of quantum computers without actually havin... » read more

NIST’s Considerations For ‘Cybersecuring’ The Internet Of Things
By Nisha Amshul - 04 Oct, 2018 - Comments: 0

Experts at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have kicked off an initiative to support the development and application of standards, guidelines, and related tools to improve the cybersecurity of connected devices and the environments in which they are deployed. NIST’s Cybersecurity for the Internet of Things (IoT) and Privacy Engineering Programs drafted a report ... » read more

Quantum satellites The Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Optics and Precision Engineering has developed a critical technology to enable quantum satellites. Fraunhofer has developed a quantum source, which would be used in satellites. In theory, the source generates entangled photons and transmits them to Earth from a satellite. They would serve to distribute secure keys for encrypting data. ... » read more

Cybersecurity Check Point Software Technologies reports that facsimile machines (yes, people still use them!) can be subject to hacking through vulnerabilities in their communication protocols. The HP Officejet Pro All-in-One fax printers and other fax machines can be compromised with a hacker only knowing a fax number, according to the company. Check Point Research says a design flaw in Andro... » read more
