By Ernest Worthman - 01 May, 2014 - Comments: 1

Smart cards, also referred to as hardware tokens, offer one of the highest levels of security within the framework of securable objects. This is for one obvious reason – it is disconnected from the interconnected world. Unlike wireless or hard-wired objects that require online connectivity for functionality, smart cards must be in physical, or near physical contact (contactless that requir... » read more

Heartbleed is not a country and western song, but many wish it were. It’s a programming glitch with the potential to cause disastrous and widespread compromises on seemingly secure data.

By Frank Schirrmeister - 27 Feb, 2014 - Comments: 0

Today’s keynote given by Green Hills Software CTO David Kleidermacher here at Embedded World in Nuremberg continued on the security thread from last year and was—interestingly enough—titled like a blog post I wrote about the Amphion Forum in late 2012: “Securing the Internet of Things”.
