A new report published by Beecham Research confirms that a successful attack against cyber-physical systems connected to the Internet of Things (IoT) has the potential to cause significant damage to individuals, businesses and national critical infrastructure.

“While we may have some visibility of potential attacks over a few months, we need to protect IoT devices in the field for 10 years or longer,” explained Professor Jon Howes, one of the authors of the report and Technology Director at Beecham Research.

Writing for Forbes, Sarwant Singh warns that coordinated cyber attacks will likely be a major part of future conflicts.

“As the number of people who have access to the Internet reaches 5 billion, the world will see a 20-fold increase in the number of hackers globally, causing an increase in cyber warfare,” Sing explained. “If nuclear power plants in Iran and satellites in space are hackable, what about a car?”

Eliott Jones has spent the vast majority of his career focused on building interactive user experiences (UX) that tastefully combine aesthetics with utility, ease of use and efficiency. Jones, who recently joined Rambus as an expert in user experience design, says the concept of a streamlined and versatile UX is absolutely critical in the evolving semiconductor space.

M is the exclusive MLOVE forum dedicated to exploring the future of mobility and connectivity. Organized by MLOVE CEO Harald Neidhardt, the off-the-record, invite-only forum for CEOs, CMOs, entrepreneurs and technology leaders was recently hosted at the Weissenhaus Grand Village Resort & Spa, located in close proximity to the German port city of Hamburg.

ARM TechCon 2014 kicks off today in Santa Clara, California. We’ll be at booth #206, showcasing our flagship DPA resistant cryptographic cores and software libraries. The demo shows a comparison of potential vulnerabilities of standard AES implementations in hardware and software versus DPA resistant AES core and library. The standard AES core is susceptible to DPA attacks and leaks a sufficient amount to lose valuable data, while the DPA resistant core shows no significant leakage and remains protected from side-channel attacks.
