Double digit CAGR forecasted for mobile wallets

A new report published by Credence Research forecasts double digit CAGR for the global mobile wallet market from 2016-2023.

“Mobile wallet technology is touted to be the next generation technology in the era of cashless transactions, replacing traditional plastic cards,” the researchers explained in a report summary.

Mirai botnet targets IoT devices

In late September, cybersecurity journalist Brian Krebs’ website was overwhelmed by a massive DDoS attack that hit at a rate of 620Gbps, forcing Akamai to temporarily suspend service. In a blog post describing the cyber assault, Krebs said the attack had likely been conducted with the help of a botnet that enslaved a significant number of compromised IoT devices, including routers, IP cameras and digital video recorders (DVRs).

Video: Enabling augmented reality (AR) with lensless smart sensors

Rambus Lensless Smart Sensors (LSS) take a novel approach to sensing by combining ultra-small diffractive gratings with standard image sensors to deliver advanced capabilities in a form factor ideal for AR and VR devices.

So, how does LSS work? Put simply, light passes through the diffractive grating and is intelligently spread onto the image sensor to form an unrecognizable, yet information-rich blob that contains all relevant data about a user’s gaze. Due to its small footprint, LSS can be mounted in the frames of everyday eyewear.

Using your smartphone as a ticket in West Yorkshire

The West Yorkshire Combined Authority is on track to kick off a trial run that will see a select group of train passengers use their smartphones as tickets. Rail services between Huddersfield and Leeds stations will participate in the trial, as both stations are equipped with ticket gates that support NFC technology.

Maximizing Von Neumann architecture

In 1945, mathematician and physicist John von Neumann described a design architecture for an electronic digital computer in the First Draft of a Report on the EDVAC. Also known as the Princeton architecture, the design included a processing unit with an arithmetic logic unit and processor registers; a control unit containing an instruction register and program counter; memory to store both data and instructions; external mass storage; as well as an input and output mechanism.

Rethink Technology Research talks CryptoMedia

DishTV India recently selected Rambus’ CryptoMedia Security Platform for use in its Pay TV satellite system. Essentially, CryptoMedia ensures secure distribution of premium content for cable and satellite operators with a hardware root-of-trust embedded in the set-top-box (STB) chipset that is resistant to side-channel attacks.
