Paul Kocher, the chief scientist of Rambus’ Cryptography Research division, recently presented a DesignCon 2016 keynote session that explored the crowded intersection of hardware, Moore’s Law and cryptography. As Kocher notes, cryptographic limits have historically been constrained by a salient lack of computing power.

According to Paul Kocher, a security expert in a keynote at DesignCon, the short term outlook for security is cloudy, but a combination of better engineering and more spending should be able to turn the table.
Rambus acquires Smart Card Software for $93 million
Rambus has acquired Smart Card Software Ltd for £64.7M in cash, or approximately $93 million at the current exchange rate.
The newly acquired company – which comprises Bell Identification Ltd (Bell ID) and Ecebs Ltd (Ecebs) – will bolster the security portfolio of Rambus’ Cryptography Research division. To be sure, both Ecebs and Bell ID have created elements of critical technology behind the majority of leading software-based transaction protocols.
